Couldnt you do me a favor and all log in at the same time so the server crashes? Its properly difficult to wait 3 more days till i am allowed to transfer

Don't sweat it. Use this time to grind up your MSQ. Also, higher level = more gear to wear for RPz! I swear I'm going to have to level up a bard just for the cool outfits they get!

To be honest i wanted to wait until my characters are on the right server before starting my "adventure"

Â If that's what you want to do then go for it!

There isn't much to it though. Most of the RP I've found has been in the residential areas (some have been in the major cities but not a whole lot) which you have to be lvl... um.. 15? to unlock. 30ish is when you get to go to the other major cities.

ICly I had to get out of the major starting city because do to class restrictions I had to start in Uldah, but ICly I was in Limsa, bummer.Â

Â Also, there is another thing. If you like the Japanese stuff at all you'll want to hit lvl 30 before the end of the month to get the Maiden's Rhapsody even rewards. A set of red ninja/samurai inspired glamour armor. Â When I made Nef I had like two-three days to get to 30 to finish the Halloween even and get my broom mount before it was over. Unlike WoW it doesn't seem like the previous year's rewards are brought back for the holiday events. Those items seem to be eventually released on the Mogstation about the time the following year's event is about to start. Not sure yet but from what others have told me that's how it seems to work here. Something to keep in mind.

In any case your wait will be over soon!

Thanks for that detailed information! I guess ill start doing the first levels then Smile

I just thought maybe there'd be RP right from the start in Uldah^^

Uldah does seem to have folks in there but I don't always hear people talking when I'm running through (and I don't have an IC reason to go there at the moment). This could either be that people are actually afk or they might be talking in a different channel like party or a linkshell. I honestly haven't a clue how some folks do it. I'm used to RPing in wow were we did everything in /say.

The best way I've found to get started with RP though are the events that folks run. The open tavern RP is probably some of the easiest to jump in on as long as you're willing to put yourself out there. Those are typically in the residential zones at someone's estate. The Pub crawl last week was FUN though and that was open rp that went from Uldah through the shroud then up to Dragonhead. I know there is a holiday ball, taverns, and some fighting tournaments coming up in the next week or two.

Sorry for being annoying, but i just came up with a new question Blush

My characters should be open for transfer in about 24 hours, i planned to spend the next few hours completing the "Close To Home" quest on all of them (seems like that is needed to transfer).

Now there's also this:
ãƒ»Your free trial for the service account to be used has yet to expire, and you have yet to be charged a service fee.

As i just bought the game im still in the 1 month free playtime period... so i guess i wont be able to transfer tomorrow? Sad

I am a little puzzled about that at the moment, as simply adding a subscription wouldnt work either, would it?

Thanks in advance... just let me get on Balmung already! Big Grin

I want to follow up on the RP stuff.

YES, THERE IS RP IN UL'DAH. If you go to the adventurer's guild, that is where a lot of people meet up for random RP. That said, you do have to be aware of the ERP'ers, if you do not wish to ERP, make sure you tell them no. If they continue to press you, report them for harassment, though I've not had any issues with that.

Is the RP in Ul'dah as high quality as organized RP events? That depends on the day and who you interact with. Some of the RP events are people that only want to RP with their 'buddies' and if you are looking for new friends, you can feel left out (personal experience speaking here).

Just look at people's search info, and I'm sure you will find someone in the Quicksand (adventurer's guild) that you would be interested in talking to. It's almost always busy, so be prepared for wall of text, especially during evenings and weekends.

Â OH man...

It was a few months after I joined that I transferred so that MIGHT be the case. If so...Â

I think you've got to wait for the initial trial days to expire. Â I'd say instead of stopping at the "Close to Home" quest, go ahead and push to about level 15 so you can unlock the airships. Â That will give you more freedom to actually meet people in other areas. Â A good bit of roleplay also goes on in the housing districts so getting those unlocked as well won't hurt in the slightest. Â

I had a few friends that also ran into this when starting from a trial account.

Had you signed up for the 14 day free trial before buying the game? I haven't heard of any cases where this has happened. ...but are you planning on a recurring subscription or gametime cards? ou may need to load some time to push you outta that "brand new and might not possibly be coming back" user category.

If you have more than one character you're transferring, I'd say go ahead and do the same thing with them. Get them to the point where you unlock airships and have them be able to traverse the different city-states.

It would also not be a bad idea to flesh out your character if you're not already done that!

I'm also seconding some additional leveling for better gear selection as well.

Question, though. When you started playing the game, did you start as a trial account then later purchased the game itself? If so, then yes. You'll have to wait until your account becomes Standard.

Â I think the wording specifies that you have to have your first payment charged specifically before you can transfer.Â

Man and I was so looking forward to seeing ya. Oh well, it will have to be after new years then, probably... I'll be out of town and not sure if I'll be able to log in while away.

In the meantime, I'd do what some of the others have said and make a few alts. Get them up so they can get their retainers (25 I think?) DO NOT HIRE THEM, just unlock the ability to get them. Retainers = storage space & AH sell slots. Each character gets 2.

Kawa · **12-12-2015, 11:18 AM**

Hooray, i made it to Balmung!

A gametime card did the trick Smile

So... if someone is willing to meet up, ill be online for quite a while now Big Grin

Scaraphae · **12-12-2015, 11:28 AM**

Glad to hear you finally made it. Hope you haffun here.
I'm always looking for new rp contacts so feel free to poke anytime. Name's Nhia Nahri ingame.

**Unnamed Mercenary** · **12-12-2015, 11:28 AM**

If you happen to be on 12-15 hours from now, I'd definitely recommend coming out to Central Thanalan for the Grindstone fighting tournament event!

Especially as a gladiator. (Also a great way to meet some contacts and see one of the ways people do combat RP)

Guess the next 24 hours will involve a lot of Final Fantasy for me Wink
