When the game came out I got too caught up in PvE stuffs, trying to get my FC built up so we could do endgame content in the future and spending a lot of time clearing content.
As a result, now in March I've got good PvE progress, but almost no RP progress! Now it feels as if it's just too late. All of my roleplayer friends are so far ahead of me and so involved in their own plots that I simply can't fit in anywhere.
I'm left with trying to find new people to RP with and sometimes it just gets so annoying to bother I don't even really try.
Edit: Another problem I should mention is that I don't like events, date auctions, light "entertainment" kind of RP stuff. My character has a plot, a story, something that's serious, brutal and deadly, and could have major repercussions for her and those she cares about.
I want to find people who can regularly be involved in this story idea, some folks who really want to get involved in an epic yarn about the the lost civilization of Nym, ancient Allagan technology, Garlean spies and assassins and the aftermath of the Calamity...
I want my RP in FFXIV to be like my old D&D games. I want to get into some serious epic plotting. But nobody seems interested.
I would be very interested in exploring a story like that. No one sees me around, however, because I'm essentially on a forced hiatus from the game. My laptop gets 13 fps inside an inn, so you can just imagine what walking around town is like. I mostly log in to do seasonal events (which is a HUGE headache to accomplish on my system) and randomly say hi to a few people that I know. I would be available to anyone via whisper in game or in Skype. Otherwise, I have to wait until next month, when the PS4 version finally goes live. Then I will get to do a desperate grind to catch up on end-game content whilst trying to reestablish myself in the RP world.
For the OP, looks like things are starting to turn around for you. Cliques do tend to pop up here and there, and it's difficult to break in to those, but if you keep being persistent and trying to have as much fun as possible, you'll be fine. Like I said, it seems as though you've had some good experiences, and you have certainly received many responses in this thread. I'm always open to RP with the restrictions that I've listed above out of sheer necessity. My main is listed over to the left.
