Hi there! - Oksana V - 10-17-2014
Hello! I'm Mitsukuni, nice to meet you! :-)
I'm not new to FF14 or RPing but I am new to combining both in game! I've been interested into getting an RP linkshell in my main server (Siren) but there doesn't seem to be much RP action going on there..Â
SO! With a lil google search I managed to be recommended to try this forum out & also to get into the Balmung or Gilgamesh server. I managed to get 1 character on both to see which server is more active and friendlier.
Any recommended LS's or FC's that are newbie friendly?
I'd much appreciate the advice! And look forward to building new (and hopefully long lasting) friendships!Â

For a second I nearly freaked out because you go by the same handle as a player I know who plays Lili's kiddo. Was about to tackle you screaming AAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahem.
Come to Balmung! We have cookies and story plots
If you look at the Linkshell Hall section of the forums it shows you FCs and LSs and many of them are newbie friendly!

LOL! Well that would of made for a funny story.
Unfortunately for me Mitsukuni Haninozuka is taken in Balmung so I had to stick with the forename "Fujioka". If all goes according to my plan I do intend to transfer my Siren main (Oksana Vankraft), but before I make that investment, I wanted to dip my toe in the RP pool and see if it's warm. (corny I know.... )
I actually took a glance at your linkshell page and I must admit, it's a bit confusing for me to identify which LS is more newbie friendly but I just skimmed through it. I'll be sure to look more in depth to it!
PS: Thanks for the cute welcome! :3

The LS, however, is for everyone and anyone and caters towards those who are up at 'late' hours!

Oh yeah, I saw the "Night Owls" LS.... *sigh* if only my job allowed me to stay up late at night... ( I hate being a responsible adult! >[, lol. ) I do tend to stay up late on fridays and weekends so I'll be sure to send a tell to one of the active leaders when the servers are back up! Thanks for the recommendation.
RE: Hi there! - Lillini - 10-17-2014
Hello and welcome! I've been combining the two together for only about a month now, so let's be new and RP together! I'm in the Night Owls LS too and am on for half the week when it's not late so...you won't be lonely if you're on when there's still daylight.
 Your name is from Ouran High School Host Club, right?

*Waves* Hi there & thank you so much! Happy to be here. n_n
Sounds great! My first RP friend!(woohoo!)
*Nods* Yes, my handle is from Ouran Academy. Honey senpai was one of my favorite characters and I like the way "Mitsukuni" rolls off the tip of my tongue when I say it, haha!

Fellow Doman character possibly?
Welcome aboard! Feel free to message Anelia Sadowyn or Mizuho Mitarashi if you want to meet and talk if possible. I am still running a Free Company recruiting for future story-driven potentials and social RP in the free company house!
RE: Hi there! - Coatleque - 10-17-2014
Where to start? On Balmung most people will point you to the Quicksand in Ul'dah. Other hot-spots include the Drowned Wench in Limsa Lominsa, and various open-world taverns in the Shroud.
As far as Linkshells, there are many available depending on what your character is/does and what time you are active.
There is Lili's Free Wings and Night Owls as she stated.
Friends of Momodi is an OOC shell where a bunch of us just shoot-the-breeze between RP and dungeons.
OpenRP is another I've seen advertised.
The Sand Pearl is an IC linkshell for Ul'dahn law enforcement, as well as Sultanswarm for Sworn and Free Paladins.
There is a good mix of people from all time zones on the server. The largest concentrations being PST, EST, and Europe times. You'll find most people around evenings in those time zones. Hope to see you in game!

"Fellow Doman character possibly?" So sorry... I'm not quite familiar with that term, can you tell me what you mean?
And thank you! I'll be on tonight (around 7:00p.m - 7:30p.m PST Time) so if you guys are on, I'll be sure to hit you up! :-)
PS: All of these welcoming messages is making me excited for the future!Â

I must be honest about one thing.... during my first play through I kind of just skipped the entire story line. I noticed that when it comes to RPing it involves heavy around it (correct me if I'm wrong), so I'm a lil nervous about how I will be approaching the situation.
Again I'm not new to RPing or this game but I am a bit stuck on how both will coexist for me and how I should go about it. I'm sure there's FC's and LS's where one makes their own character story line that has nothing to do with the games story itself, right?
Again, thanks everyone for all of the useful information! I will look into everything tonight! :-)

That's pretty much what we all do as well! What you may want to do is search for and read up on a brief history of Eorzea though. That way your story does not clash with already established events in the game world. It is a good idea to have at least a general idea of game lore to jump into. After that you can read more into things as necessary.

Question:
Where is the appropriate forum/thread for me to post my characters story? I wanted to do a wiki but then realized I had to pay to post an image. So I rather just do it here, any suggestions?
