Hi all,
I am a FFXIV: ARR player currently on the server: Midgardsormr and I had recently stumbled on this site when googling for the official RP server for NA players in FFXIV: ARR. I will be honest, i have never RP'd before in any form of media. With that being said, i enjoy the RP atmosphere and the community it produces and i am looking to join a fun server. I have some reservations however: my two choices are Gilgamesh and Balmung to my understanding. Balmung seems "more official" than Gilgamesh and i would like to transfer there however it being a legacy server means its a one way ticket for me (you cannot transfer to a non legacy server if you are on a legacy server). So i have questions about Balmung in general and i want to feel out the community as much as i can before making a final decision. Lets start with a little about me though:
--MMORPG background
Ive played a lot of mmos, some serious, some casual and some just to try out. I actually was not going to give FFXIV ARR a chance because FFXIV 1.0 received such negative reviews that i had counted out ARR entirely but some friends (that no longer play anymore) talked me into it. With that being said i have played the following mmos in this order: World of Warcraft, Warhammer: Age of Reckoning, Everquest, Tabula Rasa, Vanguard, Aion, back to WoW, FFXI, Guild Wars, Lord of the Rings Online, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Rift, The Secret World, Guild Wars 2, Star Trek Online, Neverwinter, and DC Universe Online. with FFXIV that makes 17 total.
--RP experience
zero outside of creating character back stories for myself.
--Character ideas/info
My Main and one of two 50's is a Hyur Midlander named Rickter who is a Paladin. Im still ironing out details of the back story but i would like for him to be like the storyline goes, a free paladin going about upholding the code and helping those in need.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
I was googling for the official RP server for FFXIV and came across this site.
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
Light to Medium. again, i dont really RP and my aim is more of being part of this community. and what i mean by that is generally i nan RP community, gettign the best gear i nthe game is a secondary objective, with fun and immersion primary. Also, RP communities tend to take the game more seriously and so you dont see silly names like "Hashtag Yolo" (thats a real player) running around. Mor thought and consideration to your fellow players is taken and thats what i want as i see serious longevity in this game. (please tell me if i have the wrong idea about RP servers)
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)Â
Well, i dont want to get too personal, but i'm 27 years old, have a wife and just had a new born son on the 20th of september. hes a bundle of joy and i love my family a lot. I also collect real "battle ready" carbon steel swords and im jsut really into fantasy.
so there you have it, im open to any questions you have for me but i guess my main concern is im looking for a very well populated RP server that i can join a FC and have a place in it as a PLD. I want to be around like minded individuals that dont mind kicking back and fooling around "shooting the shit" with each other and putting a good time first.
Thanks all!
