Thank you all for your swift replies! It's definitely appreciated, and has given me an insight to the community on this site, at least. Kilieit, you make a really good point. My previous character gives me experience for another to help it go faster, as well as not be new to all of things I was exposed to (such as the crafting and such). I also know that I can easily get a second class at level 10, rather than playing CNJ from the start (which was really, really slow I felt). I like the idea of taking the opportunity to experience another starter zone and it's story. On a side note: You guys have been mentioning Linkshells, but I have no idea what that is. Could someone explain?

Hey guys! I'm not quite sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, but what the heck. I'm a new player (seriously started playing like 2 or 3 days ago). I've only just not started looking into the RP potential when I found out that FFXIV doesn't allow you to create new characters on the unofficial RP server, Balmung. I've been loving the game so far, and I'm willing to pay money to transfer so I can experience being an RPer in FFXIV. Balmung isn't on the transfer list. So, I'm wondering, after skimming through the Alternate RP Server thread, what should I do? It looks like this change to Balmung is a recent one, so it's probably going to be enacted for a while. And while I really am enjoying playing the game, I want to start getting into the community. Do you guys think I should transfer to Mateus (it seemed like the most popular/populated of the alternative servers listed)? Should I wait for Balmung? Should I just start a new character on Mateus (this isn't a *huge* deal for me, because I'm only level 17 on my main class of CNJ, but it would make the hours I've put in already kinda wasted)? This is honestly the first game I've played in years that has the potential to become my main MMO, and I would hate for that to be ruined because Square Enix decided new RPers can't join the RP server. Any input would be appreciated!
