Hello,
I'm just starting FFXIV and I'm wanting to play on an RP-Centric or more RP-Populated server. I know Mateus/Balmung(sp on both) are the gold standard, but they seem to be full and/or closed(?). I've heard Jenova may have some RPers in it but before I get too into my character I wanted to see what the good server alternatives are to Mateus/Balmung for RPing purposes? My char will be either a Black Mage/White mage after going up from the base (thaum/conjurer I believe) if that matters at all.
EDIT:
Also I do have another char on this server, I'm asking more before I do anything as I'll need to reroll into the character I want.
BTW. I understand linkshells are a thing but I'm not familiar with them (this is my first mmo too). What are good linkshells for RPing, how do I associate my account (or is it by character?) to a linkshell, and are linkshells server dependent or no?
EDIT 2: I've been looking around since I originally posted and there were guides to linkshells but it looks like they just link back to the main forum page. Also a positive is I did find Gilgamesh, Omega, Jenova and potentially Adamantoise are possible alternatives. However, I also saw a post about how the 'Crystal' world will be the new RP oriented servers and none of those four are on the list that I saw (link here:
So I guess my question is if I do join one of those four, am I pretty much stuck? Would I be better served to join a server like Goblin/Marlboro that are going to be part of the Crystal world?
