Big thanks to the both of you, Unnamed Mercenary and Akeno Asukai! You helped me a lot! You answered all of my question, so I think the thread served it's purpose. Sounds like the roleplayerbase in balmung is very healthy and going strong, that makes me very happy and hyped for RP. I'll be on the look-out for a server and keep track on the ongoing discussions. Who knows, maybe we will see each other ic on balmung in the unforeseeable future. see ya guys!

Thanks for the quick response Eses! I changed the title to make matters more clear. Well then, that answers my main questions. Sounds doable. I welcome everybody to comment regardless, as I want to learn as much as I can about this community. I'm pretty confidend, that I'll manage the lore-side of things. Up-to-now I primarily used community based information like wikis, forums and youtube videos anyway. But I'll keep in mind, what you said about the spoilers. If my secondary questions seem a little broad, and if you don't mind, I'd be interested to hear about your (Eses included) personal rp as well. What you play, where and with whom you hang around with and so on.

Hi, I'm a long-time roleplayer (in a different game though), and am currently not playing ff14 yet. In a month's time or so I'm going to play the trial version of the game. I want to check things out, if possible even attempt at doing a little bit of RP. I've read up on the restrictions that apply to free2play accounts. Here are my questions: - In what way will it affect my roleplay? - How depenend is roleplay on linkshells and free companies? - With a level cap of 35, what RP-hubs am I missing out on? Also: I'll be playing a bog-standard jrpg character, a travelling hyur swordsman (gladiator). I'll adapt the details as I read up on lore and stuff. I presume casual RP is located at the local taverns in the major cities, but what is the "landscape" of the roleplay community looking like? - What is more prevalent, open-Rp or plot-rp? - What is the roleplay generally centered around, citizens or adventurers? - Do you (as a community) act out factions of the story/lore, or do you stay away and create your own? Anything that helps me to get a general idea is very much appreciated! Thanks in advance and for your time! ~ grunt
