Welcome to the RPC!

As we stand on the brink of being told what the next expansion is all going to be about, there's the big question of WHEN. Come with your guesses! When do you think we'll get the expansion? Personally I am rooting for May to be the month, because I don't wanna wait until next summer.

Balmung has been the dominating RP server for several years now. I have occasionally heard of RP'ers on Goblin, but these days I mostly hear about RP'ers also being on Jenova. Beyond that there's also Gilgamesh. Balmung is closed for character creation 24/7 these days, bar a small, small window right after maintenance ends - the only other way to get in is via transfer from another server. The "good" thing about the transferring service is that you can take up to 8 characters with you as long as they meet the requirements for transfer (Mainly that they all have to be three days old). Hope you manage to find some people to hang out with! o/

[align=center][/align] The Matron's Reach is an IC linkshell catering both to healers and patients. The purpose is to connect people who have an interest in healing roleplay, be it because they play as one or because their character gets hurt frequently. Additionally, we have a strong supportive healing-loving community, centered around our discord. If you do not have linkshell slots, you may join the discord only. Healers connected to the Linkpearl will gain unlimited access to three clinics, located in each of the housing districts. Patients can use the pearl anytime to request medical assistance, look for specialist help and get medical advice in general. Your character may not be injured right now, but we all know the road is long and full of dangers. Within the Matron's Reach Network we organize events of various types, with minimum one per week. These events are sometimes open for the public, and others are for members of the network only. They range from clinic nights to search and rescue missions and social gatherings. Interested? Then you need to get your grabbers on a pearl! To join as a Healer: Reach out to one of the already connected healers! See the list below. We are here to roleplay, so the linkpearl must be obtained through roleplay where-after the actual invitation is given. If scheduling gets too difficult, we can seek out other ways. Everyone Else: We welcome more than just healers in the network! Patients who get treated by a Matron's Reach-Connected healer can be offered the linkpearl, and the same goes for characters that are "Accident prone". Seek out one of the already connected healers for hooks. Bodyguards/Mercenaries that are looking for work should seek out Maril Hawker, as she often is in need of hiring them! Want to stay in touch out of game? We have a discord! Ask Maril for an invitation. Affiliates and allies are also welcome here! ---------------------------------------------------------------- The following people with a star icon can be approached IC'ly for invites to the linkshell.

Well, it is definitely possible to have an adopted sister, though there's some kinks with the business of it being an Au Ra that you might want to look into so as to explain things better. Mainly this would be why/how/when they'd have escaped their homeland Doma/Othard. To clarify, Hyur and Au Ra come from two different places in the world, and the Au Ra have since about the point of Heavensward happening been fleeing en mass to get away from the Garleans. Whilst there may have been a few that got to Eorzea before this mass migration, it's my understanding that it wasn't a great amount and so they may have been subject to a healthy dose of "We don't like strangers and also you look like a dragon/demon" judgement from strangers. Heck, that might also have happened coming with the mass migration, but it'd definitely have been worse to be the odd one out so to speak. It's also worth noting that the Au Ra have their own language(s). For the other races, it's a well known thing that people take in/adopt children of other races, as there may be reasons the child have been shunned by their own culture. For example miqo'te children of mixed clan (Seeker/Keeper-mix) may be abandoned because it's traditionally frowned upon.

Welcome to the RPC

That sounds great! I'd be very happy to have Maril make some shopping trips ^^ I'm sure we can figure something out I'll try to catch you in game. Ah yes! You'll need to take 3x humility syrup every day for one week. Supplement with bitter chocolate and salty snacks as you see fit

Welcome to the RPC

Welcome back around o/

Hello people! I'm looking for new contacts, as I have picked up a new main character on Balmung. Maril Hawker is a gridanian-born Conjurer and Alchemist, who has just started up her first clinic and curiosity store in Ul'dah. She has big aspirations about expanding to Limsa Lominsa and Gridania with time. She's a workaholic, passionate and always one to help. Potential hooks could be: - Hired helps for the clinic, I am planning to host some opening hours now and again. - Potential costumers - Suppliers (Herbs mainly) - Professional connections - Shady connections (Drugs and such) And of course, plain and simple friendship is always much welcome ^^ You can check out her wiki here. My timezone is CEST/GMT+2, though I am often up late on weekends and days where I don't have work early in the morning.

Welcome aboard! There's definitely more than a handful of europeans around, glad to see another one!

I think some of the people that seem to have it on constantly might also just be because it's a new shiny thing and they forgot to take it off, and such. At least here in the start I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. As I see it, it's something I'll only use to denote that I am IC. To me it feels more reliable than being in "RP Walk mode", which is how I've identified rp'ers before. My search comment will now just be a space for having my wiki links and such. As I see it, if I am in a public RP space and I have the RP-tag on to denote that I am IC, the fact that I'd be open to walk-up's is a rather given thing, if I didn't want that I probably wouldn't be there. But indeed, I can only support that it's something that people should put on when they're IC. Honestly it's how I understood the nature of the request to be when it was suggested at the fan Q&A panels.

This is a directory listing for apartments that are open to Public RP, neighborly visits etc. This directory will hopefully help get a sense of where things are located. The Directory will be sectioned into servers and housing districts. Servers will be added as they show up, so even if you're not on Balmung, go right ahead! Here's some of the things that are good to know, but feel free to add as much or as little as you like. A summary will be listed below.

I reckon I'll just be going for whichever one I can get, like most others. Maybe it'll be possible or more feasible to spread a word saying that lobby in apartment xx of xx is going to be the "RP Lobby" so as to make it more of a hub. Maybe pick the same go-to lobby for all three housing zones to make it easier to remember? It's not an easy feat but, perhaps something to keep in mind going forward.

I can't draw, but here's Nailah out for a little wander.

I'm probably going to be playing Tropico 5. I never finished it in the first go and I've got all the DLC now. And then probably chat to people on skype/discord

Welcome aboard!

I'm probably going to echo what has already been said, but as I see it, it depends on what sort of roleplayer you are and how far you take your IC-ness. There's people who for example will always be IC, no matter what they're doing in game, and in that sort of context I can easily see how achievements add something to your claim of ability on a character. It's not at all uncommon to run into people who completely separate game mechanics from the roleplay as well, I for example wouldn't take an achievement as something that gives more credibility - I also don't factor in levels, what class or job you're playing as, etc. For me, I value how much a person roleplays on their abilities, how long they've done it for (to some extend and in certain contexts) and how everything is balanced. I'm also one that appreciates skill/power to be gained or improved upon through RP. Writing a background story that starts off your character as a super awesome hero isn't as interesting as starting off with some plotlines that might land your character at hero status eventually. Balmung is rather big, so I'm not at all doubting that you'll find people from all sorts of standpoints. If you're trying to evaluate what is the right thing to do, then I reckon it's a very individual thing - but when you look for groups/guilds to play with, you could ask how stuff adds up for them so you can take measures to avoid style-conflicts. That's my two gil.

They have commented in the live letter that the number of apartments can be increased, encouraging people not to worry about availability. I would think/hope that they have made increases easy because apartments was sort of a response to the lack of houses. Personally I am going to try to get apartments on the characters that are eligble for it, because it ties in with my future plans for RP. I own a medium house, which because I couldn't find a personal use for it, I converted into an open RP space. An apartment I would be more easy on relinquishing, or giving it to someone who needed it for RP. The latter of course assuming that relinquishing for a specific person would be easy, which i currently doubt since you'll have so many players in the same place. Like, as harsh as it sounds, people wont stop buying up multiple lots before square learns to put them in a pricerange where it is not feasible. It would only take me 2 weeks at most to get the gil for two rooms, doing just some moderate fairly low tier crafts, running aqua etc. I know it is not that easy for everyone but it is the reality for a big portion of our super populated server.

Like, I'm just saying, if we're being taken to Ala Mhigo under the promises of some deranged cult lead by a highlander in a mask.. .. Where do I sign up? Not even sure they're alluding to Ala Mhigo, but there are highlanders so therefore I am hyped. Also what the hell did that chair just turn into an owl.

I know that Jenova has an active RP community with several guilds. You may be able to find some people there if you check it out.

Welcome aboard! Always nice to see a new European player on Balmung

I misread that as "Snuggler character" My derps aside though, I have a keeper alt that is supposed to be prone to getting some drugs from time-to-time, and is open to the kind of trouble that one might get for doing that, so if you're interested in something like that hit me up ^^ Timezones might be a challenge but it tends to be workable

Heya! There's a few smaller communities around and about. I know that Jenova has a collection of RP guilds and a healthy small community on the go. Hope you find what you seek o/

Yeah, 1300 plots ish is not enough for Balmung. They'll be gone pretty fast. Though, they may not be as easy to relinquish as houses, if they're all accessed by the same point then you could end up seeing a lot of people camping out for relinquishment and there'd be no guarantee that the one you're relinquishing it for would actually get it. In that scenario. Very happy that they're finally giving us the RP status icon. Now we just need to convince them to expand it to include a little appearance description I'll be capping on GC seals and clearing coil for preparation. I'm also really glad to see that I was right to hold back on getting the weapons for my crafting classes. The new one will no doubt be a pain in the arse, but I'd have been more upset wasting gil and melds on something that wouldn't compete. Obvs the ones we have now might still be better, but getting the clarification is nice.
