Hello, hello! - Cemi Epocan - 12-07-2013
Hello there!
...
That is all I can think of right now...x-x
What to say about me? Well urh...
I have roleplayed now for over twelve years. First started roleplaying on a website called Neopets when I was in my early teenage years, and still do it now in my mid twenties! I have roleplayed on numerous websites, forums and online games. These vary from Lord of the Rings Online and World of Warcraft to simple pen and paper roleplay with my best friend or Fan Fiction. As for online games themselbes, I have played them since I was about eleven or twelve? Again, over twelve years there!
I aim to focus on just this one character, my Miq'ote Keeper of the Moon. Intending to keep to her healing class and have her a healer of the Conjurers guild in Gridania. Since in lore the Keepers of the Moon have associations with the Slyph's, I intend to apply the same for Cemi! I admit I am new to roleplaying on this game, despite my long experience with it. I intend to be a heavy roleplayer, involving myself as much as I can in the community when I am not at work. I was actually looking for the best servers which have roleplaying communities online when I was eventually led to this website! I am keen to be part of roleplaying to my favourite franchise of all time!
What else do I like...
I like to paint and roleplay, that much is a given!
When I am not at work I am either cleaning or playing on my PS3. I have an addiction to healing roles for reasons unknown to me!
I come from the UK but due to being a sort of nocturnal person, I believe I am more fitted for NA servers in regards to time difference!
I would really like to meet some of you in game or something!Â

Greetings Cemi! welcome to the RPC,
You don't have to think of much out of the gate, its fun to take it slow sometimes. I have a vauge recollection of Neopets, I confess (perhaps i'm thinking of the wrong game) that though I was young, there was a way to exploit a fairly basic bit of code in the game involving a wishing well, there you could actually "donate" more than you did and get some pretty stellar rewards out of it... but that was nearly an age ago.
If you don't mind a bit of a read i've got some links i'd like to share that I think might help see you on your way with a bit of a better understanding of what the RPC can offer and the groups you might meet in game.

This welcome post describes the RPC itself as well as some of the resources available to people, the wiki, the lantern along side a few others. Hopefully you'll make use of one or two of them, the forums as well are an excellent place to vet out ideas or discuss an idea you're considering.

Is a general RP handbook created by Eva. While you are likely already familiar with many of the concepts within, I think she does an excellent job in discussing why and how they apply in the world of FFXIV. A bit lengthy I suggest skimming until you find key areas you would like to be more familiar with, then on a day when you have the chance reading the whole, it is very informative and provides an excellent foundation of knowledge to expand off of!
But onto the communities! if you're looking to get your feet wet, get to know the people of Balmung, here are few of the "choice" groups.

"Intermission" is an OOC hub for Roleplayers of all stripes, you can find out where people are, what they might be up to, where they're going and if they mind some one tagging along! with three linkpearls to its name there will be no shortage of people to meet, hardly a better place to meet the people of Eorzea.
You did how ever mention that you are in Britian, and though a night owl, I still think this linkshell is worth looking in to.

"Europa" much like Intermission is an OOC hub, though with a focus on European Roleplayers. Hopefully you might meet more like yourself there! As well as a free company or two that piques your interest. (The Travelers guild is very welcoming.)
But perhaps you're still working on your characters quests, and you've realized that using "the duty finder" to get through some of the higher level dungeons is both frustrating and more offensive words..

"Balmungs finest" is a PVE linkshell dedicated to grouping people on Balmung first before pulling in through the Duty finder. Need to farm Brayflox for Battlemage gear? Titan for the story? Ampadour Keep for some times? If you don't find a full group here, there should at least be one or two people to help provide a good base that won't just jump ship at the first stutter!
Hopefully I haven't made you flee into the night yet >_> almost done!

The two above links are wikis hosted outside of the RPC, that I use to cross reference against our own. Filled with Lore, hints on quests, and lots of other potentially useful information they might be worth book marking, or what have you.
Phew! well thats about it for now... please rememeber that the RPC is by roleplayers for roleplayers, so if you have any questions, comments, or concerns you are more than welcome to voice them. Chances are some one will come along to provide their own perspective.
Take care out in Eorzea!

Thank you for all the information and resource linking! My head hurts from all the reading on my day off but I am sure it will be worth it! x)

Greetings, Cemi! Welcome to RPC, and to Balmung! Please feel free to say hi to Thundering Hammer if you spot her in-game, whether it's OOC or IC.
I never got into Neopets, but I roleplayed a lot in World of Warcraft, and a little bit in Lord of the Rings Online. Those are definitely two of my favorite MMOs, although with WoW it's more of a love-hate relationship.
I'm curious: What do you paint with, and on what medium?
RE: Hello, hello! - Cemi Epocan - 12-08-2013
Hello Hammer!Â
I will be sure to do so!
I paint in Photoshop CS6 using a Wacom Bamboo tablet. Though my skills are still very basic!
RE: Hello, hello! - LandStander - 12-08-2013
Hello! Welcome! If you ever want to RP or need someone for plots I am always up to lend a helping hand.
RE: Hello, hello! - Cemi Epocan - 12-08-2013
Another friendly welcomer! I shall take your offer on that soon I recon!
RE: Hello, hello! - Faye - 12-08-2013
Hey there, welcome! It's good to have you here!Â
 Feel free to say hello if you see me around in game!
RE: Hello, hello! - Cemi Epocan - 12-08-2013
Will do! Thankyou again!
RE: Hello, hello! - Rinh Hallani - 12-09-2013
Hello there! Olofantur's already mentioned Europa and The Travellers Guild (thank you, Olo) so I'll just say welcome to the RPC and do get in touch if you're interested in joining either of them. ^^
RE: Hello, hello! - Cemi Epocan - 12-09-2013
Hello! Thank you and I will be sure to keep that in mind! First thing I need to do is find a suitable linkshell!
RE: Hello, hello! - Aldotsk - 12-18-2013
Welcome aboard! I hope you will enjoy your stay here. I hope to see your character sometime in the future!
