I'll be sure to reach out to you both. I want to add (or maybe clarify) that I do not have anything from a RP standpoint and my character is mostly new from a game mechanics standpoint. The only thing not new about the character is that it has done enough of the MSQ to unlock the Heavensward jobs. I am not locked to any race or job. I created 7 placeholder characters prior to transferring, so I would have all 8 slots available. I have fantasia available on all the characters and I am more than willing to do a name change. The only restriction that I have is that the character be female (which I will gladly explain in private.. discord/tells/forum PMs/etc) I will put in the time and effort to start from ground zero. I just want to participate in the world of FFXIV and Balmung RP community.

I have a keyboard (I think its a Logitech K400?) for when I'm on PS4. Most of the extra delay comes from how I am sitting / relaxing when on PS4 vs sitting in an office chair at a desk when on PC. There seems to be a slight delay in typing on PS4 in general, I'm not sure if that's a problem with the wireless keyboard I'm using. I haven't attempted to use a wired keyboard on the PS4. It's bad enough that I am asking people to deal with my newbness. I'm afraid of adding the delay of slow responses or actions that would throw off the timing the interaction. Then again, it is over the internet, so maybe people are forgiving about the delay.

Wanting to get started on Character Progression and RP. Mostly casual in my current play, but desire to progress to a more medium level in both progression (just enough to see the built in game story) and RP. Looking for Free Company and/or Mentors to provide guidance in developing my character/character story and my personal RP abilities. Prefer to stay close to the cannon(?) lore of the game, but am willing to bend as long as it is not in direct opposition. Can not guarantee specific playtime schedule, but will make every effort to attend scheduled events outside of work hours (-7 GMT). I am open to ideas for characters / RP and am not set on playing a particular race, job, story, or RP type. My main character at the moment is a Miqo'te Dark Knight named M'iriya Pahri. I am leaning towards a Vigilante style RP. In public, M'iriya would be a servant of some sort, never displaying any heavy armor or weaponry. Very few(if any) would know her as a Dark Knight, well at least those among the living. Her servant position would involve travel and interacting with the local working class populace. Her disposition would be cheerful and humble. M'iriya's vigilantism(sp?) would be directed at those who see themselves to be above the law or immune to responsibility for some pious reason. The deaths of the victims would not be assassinations, rather they would be violent and gruesome battles. None would be left alive to provide witness to the incident. I am not sure if M'iriya would willfully select the victims, or if they'd be the result of a triggered subconscious zealot. Anywho, just looking for a starting point. Nothing set in stone, and I'm very flexible as long as it is reasonably close to the existing FFXIV lore. I take instruction well and have an open mind to constructive criticism.

Thank you for the responses. Server maintenance today, so I guess I'll use the opportunity to get involved in the forums more tonight. One thing I have noticed is Balmung appears to be primarily PC players. I sometimes play on my PS4 to relax/kick back (even more with the Pro patch). I admit I type slower on the PS4, should I just stick to PC when I expect to interact with others?

Hello, I am new to FFXIV, Balmung, and Role Play. Friends drew me to FFXIV, but they have moved on to other things. In the little time that I have spent in the game, the community has really impressed me. I'm not used to seeing so much of the player base caring this much about the game. Watching Ethys Asher's YoutTube channel showed me I was missing out on a whole new level of fun in the game. I tend to care more about the story/lore of a game than I do the game-play. I will put up with numerous bugs and glitches, if the story grabs me. I am loving every minute of the Main Story Quests. The artwork of this game is amazing, and seeing how players have used it to make their characters and housing unique truly impresses me. I've just landed on the Balmung server. I am hoping to start out my journey as a casual role player. Then work my way up to medium role player as I learn from the experiences along the way. For now I will be spending the majority of my time playing as M'iriya Pahri. As I learn more about FFXIV, the Balmung server community, and how to RP, I might change to a new character to experience it as a single adventure. Thank you all for everything I have learned lurking around the forums, and all of the information that has been compiled in the Welcome Desk to help people like me.
