Hello there!..again - Juromaro - 01-29-2016
--MMORPG background:
FFXI-Carbuncle
World of Warcraft: Deathwing, Moonguard, Bleeding Hollow, Tanaris, Wyrmcrest Accord
The Old Republic: Lord Adraas then merged into Ebon Hawk
SWG: Bria
Cabal Online: Private Servers
Tera: Celestial Hills
Rift: Faeblight
Perfect World: Oracle
Aion: Can't remember
--RP experience: I have a little experience in roleplay, nothing major. I've been on roleplay servers since Rift release and only play RP servers. My RP style is more of an observer until I get to know the people I RP around/with.
--Character ideas/info: Aria Surin is/was my main, I haven't decided if I'm going to continue with her or try one of the new races. I still don't know much about Eorzea lore so if and when you see me please let me know if I'm breaking 4th wall or not.
--How did you learn about the coalition?: I joined it back sometime in 04, wasn't sure if it would be okay to necro my old welcome desk thread.
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?: I'm considered a casual roleplayer, but I would love nothing more than to dive into even more active roleplaying. I like to RP while doing dungeons and raids, even tried RP pvp until I got flamed and trolled by non roleplayers(cross server pvp sucks ><
. Most of my character stories tend to always have something dark about them, not sure why. I'm pretty sure people think my characters lean towards mary sue styles but those that I RP with that let me know what I'm doing wrong helps me fix my character, others just stop roleplaying with me all together so I'm largely unaware I'm doing something wrong.--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing?: Well I'm still jobless, though it's recent so I decided I was going to get my degree in Computer Network Administrator/Computer Science. I'm still married with 2 kids though they are old enough now that I can play a game for more than 30 mins. My internet is a janky 2 meg DSL service and if anyone other than me is on while I am I lag like no other, all that means is it'll take me a second to respond and I probably shouldn't be a tank or healer lol.
I tend to play female characters and they are largely lesbian or "taken" by one of my other characters. I welcome story romances as long as they don't get weird, I like to keep game relationships in game. I'm alright with being friends with people outside of the game through facebook or whatever it is kids use these days. Since I play mostly on console when it comes to FF mmo I don't use voice chat services like mumble. I'm a raider, pvp'er, fledgling roleplayer, crafter. I tend to do most everything a game has to offer. I no longer hardcore raid, but if raid day falls on the days I have off then I always try to attend. I don't use voice chat because I'm not comfortable with my voice so when I raid all that needs to be done is typed out how to do the fight if I don't already know it. before I raid I study videos and read up on mechanics so people don't have to explain anything to me and I know the fight for whatever role I'm doing. I quit playing FF14 back last year or 2014 can't remember so I have alot to catch up with.
I won't be in game yet as I'm using my refund to buy a ps4 and see if I can switch my ps3 account to the ps4. I tend to play mostly DPS with heavy focus in BLM jobs. My main Aria's lodestone is here: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/6865585/
I'll probably either be looking for a Free Company or staying in mine but start recruiting idk yet, most likely I'll be seeking employment with another Company. If I left anything out please let me know, or any questions I'll be happy to answer ^_^.
I do have a few questions though:
1: Is Gilgamesh still an RP server and still active?
2: Since I haven't played in a long time( I think I had to quit back in 2.1?) any advice/tips for playing Ninja and the new jobs?
3: Which server has a more accepting community between Bal/Gilga?
RE: Hello there!..again - FancySharkette - 01-30-2016
Welcome back! I've recently joined the forums too!
As for your questions:
1: Is Gilgamesh still an RP server and still active?
Yes! Â However, it's a lot harder to find. People tend to rp either in the Wench or in the Housing Districts. It's easier to find rp there if you get an fc. Balmung has a lot more rp, but you need to take the initiative, or else people won't approach you. (I speak from experience.)
2: Since I haven't played in a long time( I think I had to quit back in 2.1?) any advice/tips for playing Ninja and the new jobs?
I'm afraid I don't know how to Ninja, but I'm a level 60 Astrologien. I can give you some pretty detailed help for healing in general.
3: Which server has a more accepting community between Bal/Gilga?
Honestly, both servers are quite open and accepting, it just depends on who you rp with. Although like I said before, Balmung needs more buttering up to rp in, specially in Ul'dah.

Thank you for the reply, I played on Gilgamesh and joined a few linkshells but was unsure how the server progressed while I was away. With the new expansion out I was wondering if I was going to have to pay for a character transfer to Balmung, but with all I've been reading(trying to catch up on things before my money comes in) Balmung is pretty much locked 24/7 so I won't be able to make an Au Ra. I had to leave before Ninja came out but was eagerly waiting for it, and after watching some videos about Astro I think I might actually start to heal outside of Fates(if Fates are still thing).

You can make an au'ra on the same server you are on, and then transfer it at the same time of the other character for the same cost..

I think I'm going to do that when I can play.

Welcome!
RE: Hello there!..again - Juromaro - 02-17-2016
I've transferred to Balmung now with 3 of the 8 characters I'm going to play. Now for the long task of finding an FC, and some Linkshells. What I'm looking for in terms of FC is Casual to Medium RP and looking for a general OOC and RP LS something akin to "The Adventures Guild" and "Driftwood Coast" LS from Gilgamesh. I'm a novice Roleplayer, though I've been playing RP servers for a few years now and I'm quite shy and insecure when it comes to roleplay but I'm working on it ^_-, you can find me on my main Azami Kanshi and currently in game.(sorry for the run on paragraph using my ps4 for interwebz atm).
