Thanks for the replies! I've created a new character on Mateo and am leveling it up to the point where I have some background to work with. I've stumbled on a couple of very in-depth public conversations happening out in the wild and noticed several people walking instead of running. Even without any direct interaction, I can already tell it's a different place. I'm looking forward to a new experience! (One unexpected bonus is that I had forgotten that you meet major NPCs when you're still very low level. I've only been through the main story once so it was kinda cool.)

Hello! I'm new to FFXIV and the FF universe (been playing about 2 months), but an experienced MMO playeras well as a long-time table-top RPG’er. I haveabout 4 or 5 characters that recur in the various RPGs/MMOs that I play. Never done any FF before, but I’m loving the story so far (it's so good!) So here’s my current situation: I’ve been playing onBrynhildr and reached end-game. I joineda small, very helpful FC that has been great, but they focus on meta-gaming and raid progression. I'm much more casual and now that I’ve hitend-game, I have a lot of time in-game that I would like to RP, but there’s just not a lot of people interested in RP’ing. (To top it off, I’ve been getting some unwanted attention from anotherplayer, but that’s a different issue.) Ifound this site via a google search that landed me on the RP handbook (which I read). I had planned to wait and lurk a bit more before actually doing anything, but I saw that Mateo may be closing soon, so I'm thinking I should dosomething sooner rather than later. With that in mind, I have a few questions: Do people typically create new characters or is it ok to move a level 70 character over from another server? I’m very attached to my current char, but I suppose I could clone her on a RP server and re-level? Speaking of leveling – do people play the game and advance or generally just RP level 1 chars? (I’ve played in both types of environments.) Assuming people do follow the story, how do you handle the “everyone is the Warrior of Light” issue? Is most RP done in-game, on forums, or a combination? Thanks in advance for any feedback! -C
