Hoerfing

Now that you mention it... It is indeed quite strange, especially since they are spamming TV commercial all day long for the game's launch... But well, since the commercial is really ugly they might actually be trying to control the massive player influx by making some of them run away thanks to these awful ads =/.

I've got the strange impression that my TV is trolling me... I just got 90K'd and desperately trying to get back on Balmung while a TV commercial for FF XIV is on...

Thanks for the advice ^^ ! I'll go take a look at it right away. I hope to meet you in Eorza soon ^^ !

o cool Im there to What's your char's name =D ?

It would be some kind of a critical failure yup =/. Edit : I'm on Valefor atm, along with Liadans but dont know were others are =).

When I've been on the JP servers, I've noticed that they seem to barely have anyone on them. I just logged on Valefore and noticed the exact same thing, don't know if it's because FF XIV isn't as popular in JP as it is in EU/NA but still it was quite a weird experience. In fact to be perfectly honest I didn't run into any actual JP player, mainly EU/NA refugees.

I have been getting hit by 90 k and 10 102 Errors repeatedly and am unable to connect since the last time I attempted an instanced quest in La Noscea. =/ Can't tell if it's expanding or not but it sure is weird =s.

I'm actually getting the same error at the moment =/

Greetings everyone ! I'm not really used to introductions so I'll just follow the template if you don't mind ^^". --MMORPG background : Well, that goes back a long way but the first MMORPG I tried was some kind of old school RPG maker like thingy that goes by the name of Slayers (I think that it actually is still running), I think it was around nine to ten years ago. Afterwards I went to the first highly populated french private Ragnarok Online servers and kept playing it from time to time. During this "RO period" I also played Guild Wars and had a go at MU Online. I then settled in World of Warcraft at the end of Vanilla, just before Burning Crusade's release and kept at it until Mist of Pandaria. But I tried some other MMOs on the way, I spent two years on RIFT and tried Aion along with Guild Wars 2 (on which I'm still RPing from time to time.), Neverwinter, Perfect World, etc. --RP experience : My first RP experience in MMOs was in RO, on Pservs which eventually closed, afterwards I have been at it a lot on WoW, RIFT, Aion and GW2 and now FF XIV. --Character ideas/info : My main character is named Hoerfing Bloodiron, a middle aged Highlander Warrior who recently climbed his mountain down in order to see what the world is like and more importantly, asserting his strength and weaknesses. He is a rather typical Highlander and despite his looks is actually quite friendly although reserved. (I'm still taking bits of lore in so it's pretty much everything at the moment ^^", if you see any incoherence or have any advices I'd gladly hear... or well, read them ^^.) --How did you learn about the coalition? : To be perfectly honest it was pure chance. I happened to google "RP community FF XIV" and found a really handy RP/Lore guide posted on this forum. --What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? : Since I'll have close to no time for playing during the week starting September and considering that knowing myself I'll rush to lvl 50 to get the gears I like and so... I'd say that I'll be a medium RPer at first and then a Heavy one if manage to get some time ^^. --Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) Well, I'm a 21 years old psychology student who loves both Psychology (no shit sherlock) and Role-Playing along with med-fan universes. Since I'm a heavy reader, both these passions fills my personal library. But I don't spend all my time studying, reading and playing, I'm also practicing shooting and fitness. I think that the saying goes like "Sound body, sound mind" or something like that. Oh, and lastly, you may have noticed already but saying it out loud won't hurt : I'm french, so feel free to tell me if anything's wrong with my typo or grammar ^^", I'm not quite confident in it. See you in game !

This FC looks pretty cool ^^, I'm actually in the middle of leveling / finishing my character's Storyline but I think he could fit well. Well, if you have some use for a battle maniac highlander warrior that is ^^.
