As a new player just starting out, I'd definitely use the forum. Balmung seems like a big server with a lot of established groups, so it would be good to have a place to post up and peruse for RP opportunities. I'm still kind of facing information overload as it is... so much lore, so many things I could do with my character, so many people out there looking for RP opportunities. It's hard to know where to jump in, and Making Connections sounds like a good way to make that process a little less overwhelming.
