Though I do not know the community well enough to truely comment on the subject here, I would like to contribute my recent experiences, as someone new to the rp scene on Balmung:Â
I'm a EU player which means that I should theoretically be seeing less RP around than anyone else, yet walking into the inn in ul'dah at random chance one day actually created a chain reaction of roleplayers joining in. From that, one player whispered me with an excuse right off the bat, about not wanting to intrude the RP me and my guildee were doing, though we came with the intention of finding other rp'ers, so there wasn't really a need for it. Anyways, in general chattyness, I explain that I am new around here, and without even blinking I got a warm welcome and a soft lay-down of the community, how things seemed to be to this person, etc. And whilst it wasn't entirely positive, I greatly appreciate something like that - the fact that there's negative points only makes it seem real and credible. No RP community anywhere is perfect
Â
I'd imagine I'm not alone in appreciating getting intro's like that. Even if the forecast didn't bode well, I decided to power on with the FC that I am an officer in. It'll probably be tough as nails to survive but so be it. We're going in with an open concept, hopefully it'll be good for both us and the community.
