Hello fellow dyslexic! Now the.. what I use for an explanation of oddity is the echo , that special ability that some people have. But not in any mega-powa! way. Basically my character has the voices of her mother and grandmother in her head. Either she is insane or her echo effect is that she is linked to them (it's a witch thing). But IC wise who would ever know, she just seems crazy and her personality can shift to either of them in a Crone, Mother Maiden way.

I give you extra internets for the Star Track reference! (*wonders* are internets a thing now? maybe the "kids" have moved on and they deal in some new cred currency like .. who knows.. monkey forks?)

I'm a bit sparse on plots atm but I thought I would just offer a suggestion, if that is okay? While you may find someone with a plot that is looking for victims players, I don't think this is the majority of things out there. What may help is to have some of your own character plots that you can involve others in. That way you are offering something back and others may be interested. These can be quite simple mundane plots because the RP comes from character interactions rather than anything anyone pre-writes. The trick is to take any threads and opportunities when RPing and pursue them and let them develop. You may need one of you to be somewhat creative and pushy to achieve this though. So maybe just add a line or two about what your characters are up to. As example but you could write a few. ".. is a detective and currently trying to solve a case for an employer who is threatening him." , ".. is a doctor who has a patient with a rare condition and needs a specific herb for treatment, a herb he can't get." Why do I say this? Well, because I have done plots for decades and one thing that does not motivate me to put the work in any more is people just wanting me to provide them with plot, while they bring nothing at all to the exchange. What I will crawl over broken glass for is those who do inject things, who will develop things, no matter how polished at RP they are. Hope this helps you snag some RP. I'm always up for some random stuff if you are desperate

My brutal view.. If you ant to PvE Raid then you have to go for an EU server as ping to US is 180ms+ and in my experience you will fail too much. I used to be less (110ms) and I could cope but now I have resigned myself to not raid the extreme end game.. That leaves you with Omega. If you want RP then the choice is Balmung (US) - the original and full (I expect this is locked at this time, so not an option) Mateus (US) - the current best open RP server, they use discord quite a bit and I understand RP is flourishing. Omega (EU) - I don't know much about this and have heard good and bad. For myself I am still on Balmung and have not moved off. That probably says a lot about which I think is best. What will be best for you is any of these and putting yourself out there for RP. The game has an RP flag you can show on your character's nameplate, it really does support RP better than many other MMOs.

Because Lizards & Sun

Quick! Eat the fish, Halcy's coming!

Tea time

It is probably the best and more technical 4 man dungeon, that still challenges parties today (content and level of party). After these original dungeons they all seemed to become very similar and easy to out gear/rush. This is why it remains one of my favourite dungeons and a pain in the ass.

No, that's Feb 2014 in 2.0. There was progression with armor and stuff as I main PLD in PVE, but not in RP. Today the Pirate look is where she is..

@Mermaid I agree, armored ladies! Here is an old one from when a PLD had to make do with a a dagger that is similar.

Well if you fancy a seance or ghostly haunting investigation of the "maybe real" or "maybe fake" sort, and you can find her then Nebu'la the Witch may be able to help. We may not kill your "entity" but there will be cake and half eaten fish and pickle sammages.

IC - unless it was true love they will likely turn into a frog, maybe it would take some time and they just sound a bit ribbity for a bit OOC - no one gets inside my personal space exclusion zone, claxons would sound and countermeasures would be deployed

I suppose my first question is what you want and why did you decide to play this? Assuming it was not to be a novelty or to inflict an RP crutch on others, then I would suggest making life easy and let them (your fellow RPers) decide how their character reacts and accommodates understanding. To do this you can emote what your character does and include in that the real intent. Misunderstanding for RP effect or not then sits with the other player. eg. /em points casually at the food being delivered to another table, seeking to indicate that they would like you to order that for them /em shakes their head and wags their finger being as clear as possible that they disagreed with the choice Failing that go watch some silent moves or mime for inspiration.

I have played a couple of straight male chars in this game and it was like being some kind of invisible person. This is something I have not found when playing female chars, so i figured it was the gender of the char not me. I am not hung up on any male/female thing myself but the contrast was quite stark.

I hate the housing situation, I already quit once over it. Though through perseverance I now have what I always wanted through sheer luck. There seem to be only three ways to get a house.. 1. Wait the Unknown-Hours for a vacant plot to become free. the risk being gazumped by someone transferring a plot or someone else clicking. 2. In a future housing expansion, should they even make it a straight purchase thing like last time. 3. You acquire an FC that already has a house (as @SQUAWK says). This means there is no queueing, go straight to the house. It also means you can snap up the house of your dreams should it come available by housing transfer. In addition should you decide to quit you can pass it along. So option 3 seems like the best bet, if you can pull it off. There are alternatives, someone who has a house can give you rights to decorate etc.. Maybe some even "rent" out housing via this method, it could even be an IC thing with all the landlord vs tenant drama! Good luck in your hunting!

Not as much as in the past, with housing and some exodus a lot has moved to events and inside. Best this is to go to events and join an RP FC, that way you can start to establish some contacts.

On way to consider this, is if you can't find an answer, alter the problem. You are looking for "lore evidence" to enable you to judge what is Lore abiding, bending & breaking. Yet there is no absolute scale of Lore information (maybe there is or someone could make one). Anyhow, we are here to Role Play not Lore Play. What I tend to do is consider if things fit in with the nature and intent of the lore and game, that they don't break fundamental "mechanics/physics" of the world and they don't introduce things that are at odds with the world. Please bear in mind with magic & science and surprises always popping up then that is still a broad canvas of creativity to paint on without upsetting the balance. I find if you just play within the Lore it is an imperfect picture and can lock you in to stereotypes. Another aspect is that what the Lore of the world is not what most people will think and believe. So actual characters should have views that are different and even counter to the Lore in the world. So, I suppose I am saying.. RP first, but don't antagonise the lore, learn to live with it.

Lizards with bird/feather wings... heresy I say! But Aztec dragons you say... stop ruining my faux-outrage!

Re-Opening this with a repeat of the "one time offer only never to be repeated!" See the OP With each RP get a free apple, a fortune card, one lucky gil and a coupon for half off your next RP! Now with added Othard added Gyr Abania!

You soooo get me

Not sure this is an answer but... My mum was voidsent I had a cursed rattle as a child I am possessed I went to some dark bar and drank a Sex-in-the-void cocktail I went to a strange dimension and had to make pact to escape Void-touched cooties.. stay away from the Quicksand! I sent of for a "Ultimate Power in 20 issues" the first issue came with a free stick on tattoo, which wont come off! I got bit by voidsent Over use of the teleport crystals (transporter accidents - the source for all problems) I met a strange lady, who made me nervous, she took me in and gave me breakfast There was this seance and it didn't go well I used to be a frog and some witch cursed me into this! I got this from the moogle shop, it was on sale I don't judge I suppose I am saying, people justify it in many ways. What matters is how it flavours your RP and not become your RP.

Changed I would say. Less to the stock events and more local circle type stuff. You could look to the exodus of some, maybe even the non NA players as a reason and also there has been an influx of new people. This may mean that new norms are being established, or maybe time of year? I have noticed less people at some events, and even myself has stopped playing/RPing so much. Yet there is many active and some even pushing new ideas to bring us together in RP, /cheer for them!
