Newbie to FF XIV here, enjoying it so far. First thing I did was google the unofficial RP server and found my way here.

I've played way too many MMO's, WoW till BC, Everquest, Tera, Guild Wars, GW2, Neverwinter, and a few others I'm probably forgetting.

I've been RPing for a while now, started with D&D, later started RPing heavily in Tera.

I'm more of a medium role-player. As far as character ideas I'm probably going to start how I did in Tera, with the chibi race XD. I loved the challenge of RPing an Elin seriously in Tera and hope to do the same with my Lalafell here. RPing as the cutesy race without ending up as RP comic relief is hard, but I enjoy it. Big Grin

Hope to see you all in game!

Welcome Dar, to HRC, and to the game. I didn't know which server you're on, but if its Balmung look me up and I can be of some help.

And now a word from our Olofantur. Take it away O.

Hello and welcome to the RPC Edge,

Good to see you've got quite a bit of experience under your belt, that'll hopefully make it easier to jump into the community. There are a lot of MMO veterans here as well so you'll be in good company roleplaying, PVEing and PVPing. Before I continue I must say..

Finally have the chance to get back in the groove~ its nice!

But anyroad, here are some links that you might find useful as you get used to the RPC and the RP community at large in Eorzea. [As a note, if you have the chance, please pop into the Player CP "control panel" and list the server you'll be playing on primarily to make recommendations and plans to interact a bit easier.]

Heres a welcome post the the RPC as a whole:
http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/misc.php?page=welcome
Touching on some of the key resources here like the wiki, the linkshell hall and the calendar. It also tells you a bit about the history of the community and lists a few key members here that you might run into [As a note Kylin has stepped down as the RPC admin, and FreelanceWizard has stepped up to champion the role.]

If you'd like to brush up on some MMO RP information, want to see how some other people approach things, or are just curious about Eorzea specific situations the RP handbook provided by Eva is an excellent resource:

The index hidden in the spoiler tag at the top should give you a good overview of the major topics and make skimming to parts you're interested in a bit easier.

But onto the communities! I have a handful of OOC linkshells I like to recommend to new people to help get their foot in the community door, since their divided by server make sure to take note of the server tags listed on their linkshell hall entries!

"Intermission" Is a hub for roleplayers across Balmung to chat and get to know each other. Talk about whats happening where, who is on when, or just have a laugh. Listening in can be a great way to get to know some of the more outgoing members that can serve as good guides to whats out there.

"Balmungs Finest" is a PVE linkshell dedicated to getting people together for group content of all levels and difficulty. This linkshell relies on building relations in the Roleplaying community of Balmung before resorting to the duty or party finder, if you're looking to do end game raids, or just want to farm some items to sell this might be a good choice! No level requirement, just a desire to get out there and slay some baddies.

If you're playing from an EU time zone on Balmung I recommend taking a look at:

If you're on Gilgamesh, but gilgamesh has a whole host of communities that i'm not super familiar with and you could probably be served better by making the venture into their section of the linkshell hall yourself.

Hope I haven't bored you to tears! There's a lot out there to do, plenty of people to meet, maybe jump in the forums or hit up some of the RP hot spots in game [when matinence is done of course.] either way, remember that the RPC is here to help, ask questions, make comments voice concerns.

Hope to see you in Eorzea, and feel free to flag me down if you ever see me running about. Cactuar

Hiya
