Clover

Not currently, I'm very sorry! I might do them in the future for ingame gold (Balmung server), but I'm unsure yet (>_<; I tend to have a difficult time with each fanart I draw, that's why I don't tend to draw commissions often.

Ahh, thank you very much for your comments! I was very nervous when I posted, but now I feel relieved ;_; EDIT: About commissions, I've considered to open them in the future if I fail at getting gold ingame, which is what will likely happen *sweatdrops again*.

(Akane is the nick I've always used with my art, so I'm using it this time as well because Clover doesn't really draw *laughs*). I've drawn a very small, very simple Clover sketch, so I guess it's about time for me to open my own art thread! I actually wanted to draw a more elaborated fanart, but sadly, I lack the time this week. I really wanted to draw Clover before the game started, so... this sketch will do until I have more time (_ _) Edit: 22/03/2014 K'nahli and K'mih's sisterly love. Edit: 07/07/2014 Clover animation made with E-mote! This program is amazing, my mind was blown at the result. Other non FFXIV and better finished fanarts under the cut. I hope you like them! (>///<)

Alright, that works! I'd like her to learn about this group as the actual RP develops, It'll be more fun this way ^^

EU players could always organize their own events, or NA players could make a poll to find out what hour is best for the majority of players from both NA and EU.

Another split? O_O Well, I'm an EU player, playing with other EU players who have gone to Balmung. It's the original unofficial RP servers, so it's open for everyone around the world. If you'd like to be around other players from Europe, there's a Linkshell and an endgame focused Free company for European RPers to keep in touch ^^

If there are RPers who don't visit any forum and don't want to be informed of what the unofficial RP servers are, I doubt they'll end up on either Balmung and Gilgamesh. I do trust polls, especially when all of them display the same result and when at least one of them had been advertised outside this forum, but I can also talk about my own experience. It wasn't possible to organize a Miqo'te Tribe on Gilgamesh because the vast majority of (tribal) Miqo'tes were on Balmung. Balmung is also the original unofficial server, which has been around for a quite a while and has had people working on it for so long, so it's only expected that it'd be more populated than a completely brand new community. There are already tons of posts from Gilgamesh people stating how awesome their server is. I don't think it's necessary to go as far as to even say that both communities are similar in size, when they clearly are not.

This sounds really nice! I need to find any excuse for my Miqo'te to join such a lifestyle... Well, she's already very curious about the outside world. Perhaps if she met an experienced hunter from that group, she could be deeply inspired and would ask her elders permission to join them. It doesn't mean she'd leave her tribe; she'd just go adventuring from time to time, if that works.

I never care about such matters in other games, but this one sounded fun and I decided to give it a try. I tried both botanist and weaver, and I loved them. I'm eager to waste whole afternoons just walking around the forest to gather ingredients, it was oddly relaxing. This game makes me want to live it!

If by the first part you mean which server has more RPers, I believe it's always been very clear (?). There've been several polls about it already, and the results have always been the same. Well, not having an RPed background isn't a bad thing either. Fresh starts are fun! I just find it cool to know that some characters I might meet around the world have been there for a long time, living tons of experiences. Perhaps my characters might learn a thing or two from them.

I'm a new player as well, and I chose Balmung because it's where most RPers are. As others have said, many new players will be there, so it'll be like a fresh start as well. I personally also find it very interesting to know that some veteran characters will have a real background they RPed back in the day, and that some of them will rightfully represent the Warriors of Light the lore mentions.

I'm actually unsure of where they go, since they're supposed to be where the game exe is, yet the game itself has several exes ^^; I'm clumsy at this, so I just... pasted the SweetFX files in every folder I saw that had an exe *laughs nervously*. At least it worked. You can be testing it at the Benchmark. Knahli> Hahaha! Random comics are random *loves*.

Even after I fangirled to you about it the other day? *Falls over*. Your paladin looks great in those screens, by the way. I especially like the second, it looks like a scene. ========= Not exactly beta screens because beta is over today, but I finally managed to figure out how to use SweetFX!! This is my experiment from the Benchmark.

This game is adorable (TwT)

Haha, I guess everyone is bound to make mistakes sometimes. As a healer, I think I'll be depressed if I let anyone die someday. I actually don't mind easy games. I like playing relaxed too *laughs*. I just think that dynamic systems are more fun; I've never been a fan of point and click to start with, and after playing Mabinogi:Heroes (Vindictus) and Tera, FFXIV's system feels like a huge step back. In any case, I'm not in the game for the combat system, since that's not what truly matters to me in the end. The game is still a lot of fun and I love it, especially because it has many RP possibilities.

I did my first dungeons! They were exciting, but I must admit that playing as a healer in Tera was more fun (even if Tera overall wasn't). I almost got our tanker killed because I was distracted taking screens, but luckily, everyone survived in the end. I shouldn't do that again... (._.)

Shouldn't the maintenance be over? ;_; *Suffering*

My poor Miqo'te... I had to remake her and now I can't join Balmung *laughs*. I guess I should wait until tomorrow when American players are asleep.

I'm glad other people saw Clover! I need to pay more attention. I just spotted another familiar name. I was trying to test SweetFX, but as you can see, it's not quite working.

SweetFX. I'm using these settings. They're pretty extreme at times, but I like what it does to metal textures. I got excited and tried to make it work, but I don't see any difference in my game (>_<; I wonder if there's anything else I have to do other than simply pasting Sweet FX in the game folder... I'm taking a lot of screenshots, but I won't post any until I make them pretty, haha.

I'm still trying to find out how to hire a retainer, but I definitely want to customize one as soon as I get the chance. My partner isn't going to play much in the end, so I want to make his character *laughs*.

I've seen Allothia and Kai'to so far. I might have seen other RPers, but those are the only names I've recognized (in fact, I don't recognize most of the names posted in this thread *falls over*).

It's been fun looking for familiar names from the forum! Other than my friend K'nahli, I was able to chat with Alana and saw Alothia.

Haha, that's my life right now ;w; I don't even know why I keep checking it. It's not like I can play today... I'm just very excited! .

I love this idea! Sadly, I don't think that my character Clover would be good material to belong to any sort of important group. Best of lucks with this, in any case. It sounds really cool and I wish such a group had been around back when I was still planning my characters ^^
