Greetings lurker, and welcome to the RPC as the others have said.
While i'm sure you've already run into it over the last few days, i'll take a moment to plug a few of the key posts I like to link people too.
This welcome post is just a short over view of some of the tools here at the RPC that you'll be able to use during your stay to coordinate and interact with the community at large. The Lantern is a particular favorite of mine.

There's also Evas' "Roleplay Hand book" which can serve as a refreshed to some of the lessons you may have learned in Guildwars as well as raising some questions you may not have thought about in the past.

All that aside, as an in game resource I recommend taking a look at "Intermission" one of the many "OOC" linkshells on Balmung that serve to help get people together, be it just for chatting, or looking to fill roles.

(If you keep odder hours you could also take a look at Europa, mostly for EU players, but some schedules lend themselves to their time.)

Thats most of the big stuff... with it out of the way, please let us, or me know if you have any questions about FFXIV, the RPC or pretty much anything, chances are theres a thread about the topic, and if not you're more than welcome to start one. (So long as you keep it in the right section of course )
Hmm, can't think of much else to add.. don't be hesitant to flag me down in game if you see me running about, even if its just to say hello. I do a lot of running and could probably use the break. cheers!
