Hello, everyone! My name is Halinu and I'm a long-time gamer and RPer! ^^ It's so nice to meet you all. In terms of MMOs, I played a lot of WoW to the point of swearing off it forever. I was in a full-time roleplaying guild on Scarlet Crusade and some of my most treasured moments were in that guild! When I tried out FFXIV, I was pleasantly surprised. Apparently I wasn't completely over MMORPGs - only completely over WoW! Thus my Eorzean journey began.
Let me give you the lowdown:
My FFXIV situation: I joined Coeurl because a couple of my friends were playing. I played a bit on and off, almost exclusively by myself since no one was around. Coming from a heavy RP background, I was dismayed to find absolutely no RPing happening on Coeurl. I knew that Balmung was the go-to RP server, but I had hoped to find some interaction on other servers. When I stumbled upon this place... I knew I found exactly what I was looking for! <3
Since Stormblood has released, a lot of my friends have come back to the game and back to Coeurl. As such, I'm loath to jump servers, so I have a couple of queries:
1. Any fellow RPers on Coeurl?
I see a couple of linkshells listed here, so I'm definitely going to check those out! I was just curious if anyone else happened to be slumming it on Coeurl with me, hehe.
2. Where does the majority of RPC roleplaying take place?
Being kind of shy, I like to lurk before I jump into anything, so I've been poking around the RPC before making an introduction post. Obviously, the majority of RPers seem to flock to Balmung and a couple of other servers appear to be hubs of activity as well.
Does most of the roleplaying happen on Balmung and then overflow into the RPC? I've browsed the IC forums, so I do see that RPing happens here too. Is it mostly people who have RPed in-game/on the same server that then RP on the forum, or is cross-server interaction common?
I ask because I desperately want to be part of this lovely community, but I am rooted in Coeurl for now. Will I be missing out/unable to participate in forum roleplaying if I am not currently on one of the more RP-focused servers?
Thanks so much for any input and it's great to meet you!
