I'm really new - both to the game and to the RP within it - but I've been an RPaholic on other MMOs throughout the years, as well as loving Final Fantasy since the late 80s.Â
The lore and the story are all very new to me outside of the recurring themes in most FF settings, and I'm slowly chewing through the many references this site provides.
Prior to this, I've been Guild Master of a couple of heavy-RP guilds in Warcraft, as well as taking part in RP on forums and Guild Wars 2. That said, while I'm definitely in the range of heavy-RP, I love to be more reactive/sideline characters and comic-relief at times.
Hopefully I'm able to find my way around - the game is seriously just installing updates now, as I played about half an hour once at a friend's and loved it but never had a chance to get into it until now. Â Admittedly I'm really fond of the look of the Mithra, and I'll probably end up rolling one of those to start.
I'd love to find a guild (linkshell?) and wrap my head around the lore in the future, and any suggestions as to where to look are always appreciated.
Thank you for the community resource, and I hope to see you guys all in-game and make some connections in the future!
Welcome fellow child of the 80's, did Garlan ever knock you down? I to like to jump head first into rp and lose myself.
I love funny characters, they add spice. You will do fine with the game, and as a Mithra (called Miqo'te in this game) you won't be alone.
Linkshells are the member's only chat channels of the game, guilds are called Free Companies (usually abbreviated as LS and FC respectfully).
If you are interested in a few rp friendly LSs I can hook you up. I also have a small FC, but it is very RP heavy and not everyone's cup of tea. But I am also friends with others who run great RP FCs. Also the LS hall above on this site has listed many other FCs, you're bound to find something you like there.
Good luck and come to me when ever you need help, advice, or info.
