Hello everyone! This post is not about my own art, but about the art of my friend Ramona. (Yes I have permission to post all of this) She is a lovely artist with a unique but not radical art style and puts a lot of care and effort into each drawing. Furthermore, she is very communicative and will try to deliver what you have in mind as good as she can. The prices are very affordable, I commissioned her 3 times now. I added a link of her portrait of my own OC to show her style ( http://imgur.com/a/a8CJJ ) You can contact her on her facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/ramram.joestar.3 ) and her prices are in the cover photo. She will create an artist page very shortly, too. She is saving money so she can go to art school and I think it is a very good cause to help out. Have a nice day!

Hi! I joined Balmung not too long ago and I must say it is really hard to get rolling. I tried it via the RP Directory but never got any message back. I did have some sucessful and somewhat nice RP by somehow forcing myself into a happenstance, but it did feel awkward to me. I would really like to be more active and maybe get a thing or two going, any advice for that? I did check linkshell and FC directory as well, but hardly found anything fitting. Sidenote: https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Van_zao - This is my wiki, please excuse the empty banner pngs as it'sa still under construction.

Hi! I have a few questions. I am new to Balmung. Where can I see a list of the Hosts/Hostesses, and how do I pick them?

Hi! I am new on Balmung and need some contacts to start off! I am used to heavy RP on text basis, it is my first time to RP on MMO basis though! Van Zao - Balmung

I would love to join. I am new on Balmung and need some contacts to start off. Add me, please! Van Zao - Balmung

Thanks for your response! About the niche thingy, I do have a general idea (I am still working on my new character, as i can only swap to balmung on my alt in 3 days) ect but I still need to do a lot of finetuning. I will put up my wiki soon, I think. How do I best get started/join a group or whatever. For now I would like some "basic" thaumaturges in Ul'dah to interact with as this is the point I want my character to start. Do you have any suggestions whom I should contact?

Hello! I have decided to give RPing on FFXIV a chance after reading into the rules and forums a bit, as well as checking some character's wikis. I have roughly 2200 hours on FFXIV (semi-core raiding) and have been roleplaying in different communities for roughly 5 years. One could think this is nothing new to me, but actually I have many questions about RPing on FFXIV, if you guys don't mind. 1) What's completely new to me, is having the option of real time movement/emotes/reactions via FFXIV instead of being completely text and turn based. How exactly would a typical RP on FFXIV look like, if anyone can describe it? What role do emotes and chat, as well as movements and spells ect have in a FFXIV RP? 2) How is character development handled on here? Am I allowed to have a certain development idea/direction my character should progress (of course while being receptive to possible changes through RP events and interactions ect) or is that considered too planned and a more "whatever happens, happens" is better received? For example, I want my character to start out "fresh" and not knowing much about the world and magic ect and most things outside of Ul'dah, but I plan to make him a bitter Astrologian at one point. 2.5) Regarding the wikis, should I best make a Wiki for my character and then change it with each step of progress my character makes, to create a more life-like image or how do I use the wiki best? I am sorry if any of these questions seem to be very redundant or obvious to answer, but please keep in mind I am completely new to using this amount of resources to portrait my character, also having it "available" to everyone at the same time instead of having disclosed RPs between two people. Sincerely, Lin
