A lot of people appear to RP in their Linkshells or FC chat, not on the regular chat so RPing can be hard to find. Not to mention there are many many "normal" players with "normal" linkshells also playing the game so sometimes you may find yourself looking for a specific tree in a forest. However, the people here will give you a hand! If not, you can always build your own RP group! People here are looking! You can find a little snippet of info on where RPers typically meet up though. Heres a link of typical meetups hotspots from a previous thread: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread....light=meet You can also see people RPing when they are going from point A to point b by walking or not riding a chocobo when one clearly would. This usually indicates RP. Also look out for lots of emoting. Otherwise, its good to just check around here! I'm having a similar issue with you, but I am fairly discerning in my choices of RPing and I want to hit 50 before I really get into it. XD Anyway, I'm going to try to build a new RP group with a new storyline and such, so if you'd like to help me build it let me know! Its part of my Chronicler's Project. Here are some links on that project if you're interested: |

Hello again Neero,
Might I ask what time zone your based in? perhaps you play at an odd time that might limit your exposure? The adventurers guild in Ul'dah had hardly a seat open yesterday evening (7pm EST to about 9), but that hardly helps you predicament. I'll be on this evening, if you have the opportunity send me a tell, or PM me here when your online and while I might have a duty of my own, I can try recommend a place or two. I will say that I know a mixture of people, some who like the wide avenues and more populated areas, but there are others who like to spend time out of the way. In most cases it helps to simply send them a /tell and ask. While I know this may not always seem the most appropriate action I think a lot of people get wrapped up deeply in an ongoing event and it can take a bit to make them raise their heads from their books. I am certainly included in this, too focused on small tasks for my own good. Just food for thought. Things might seem a bit disheartening but with time and a bit of effort i'm sure you'll do fine. Edit:: I realized some of this might sound dismissive, thats not my intent, I do genuinely hope to provide a few places where you might encounter a person or two along your lines. |

The Grindstone hosts two weekly open world RP tournaments in Soot Creek bridge just outside of Ul'dah at Wed/Sat 10 PM EST. There are usually quite a few people hanging out there.
Otherwise, there's frequent open RP in taverns (most notably the Quicksand and Coffer & Coffin in Ul'dah, seen it in Limsa and Gridania too). I don't really have any FC recs (at the moment, I don't have one), but I am putting together a fairly non-restrictive RP LS with an IC premise that can be summarized as "get sponsored, do mercenary work in exchange". Basically they can pay for your travel expenses and such (good if your character is seeking to do good for no pay) and in exchange you do jobs for them, like hunt monsters, collect pelts, what have you. I'm hoping to have scheduled IC stuff starting on the 26th, but until then we've been doing some random RP with each other, unrelated to the IC premise. Here's the LS hall entry, if you're curious. |

I'm taking all of this in, no worries, I don't find any of it dismissive. I guess the fact that my timezone is GMT doesn't help. I frequently look in the populated RP areas but I guess I look when you're all asleep. I'm pretty much online all the time so anyone can contact me in game. You can see my character name, I think...
Anyway, I really think people are too shy to RP publicly on this game  I hope I don't upset anyone, but on other MMOs you'd always see RP no matter what time it is, I can hardly find any on here. Obviously I'm hoping you guys can help me. Sorry if I'm coming across as pushy or needy or anything negative. But I always saw the RP potential on this game to be immense and I hope it really takes off soon |

No pushiness felt on my part, i'm just making an effort to be a little more self aware.
I would recommend touching base with "Europa" (FC/Linkshell) while they might not be a long term fit, but their time would seem to jive better with yours and perhaps they can provide an introduction to some key players. As always, feel free to attend the approaching events listed on the calendar, they'll be running for quite some time and likely have people from various walks of life, both in game an out. Shyness can be a part of it, I think there's a great amount of effort spent in trying to balance public image with what non-rpers might criticize, which is an interesting dance to observe, if nothing else. |

I'll look into this Europia and some events coming up. If you see me around do feel free to say "Hi"
And if more RP happens in public and people critisize it then don't we keep the moral high ground? It's just a matter of ignore and/or blacklist  It's the weekend... Maybe we should get some all-day RP going? |

Ha, yes, I try to simply shrug it off and ask them if they haven't considered joining in.
I'm a bit of a morning person so i'm not sure how late I could stay up, but tonight will be interesting and i'll be available for quite some time once I take care of the house. |

Mmm, well the weekend to prepare for!
Have to make sure all the ducks are in a row and all that. |

I see O.O Well, as I said, do feel free to approach me, get some RP going with me or whatever else. I'll always be around!
