Gimp is amazing for Digital art, and it is free. i use it all the time and it is as good as the expensive ones Love your picture btw, i cant draw horses for the life of me

I'm also European, I was hoping to find EU pve'ers aswell, although i'm nowhere near endgame, i'd love for you both to drop me a Friend Request :3 I'm on balmung and my character is Robyn Fairfax

Here's Robyn! The one who is from another land, at 16 he was being chased by cyote's and he fell hitting his head on a rock, causing amnesia, he was then taken in and trained by a rogedyn, he is now 19. And here we have Mindy, Robyns younger sister. When robyn ran away to Eorzea, Mindy followed him to try and make him turn back. she lost sight of him, and could no longer find him. she spent three years searching eorzea to find him, while Her brother has no memory of her.

Shame no one is intrested, i figured it would make for a great backstory

woo! atleast its plausible

I'm working on a character, who is of noble blood, but his mother died when on the run with him by his crazed father who went insane. His mother died carrying him through coerthas and was found by the knights of as Ishardian Family and taken, despite being a hyur (he was 2 years old at this time). Would it at all be possible, and would some Ishgardians want an adopted hyur brother? They dont have to like him. he would be about 16-17 years of age. my server is Balmung

so, what should I do to fix it? It is Windows 8, do i move the ffxiv folder in game files? or the one from program folders?

I'm trying to take screenshots but i keep getting "Screenshot failed" all the time, i'm on the PC version of the game I used to be able to, but now i cannot

I'm trying to take a screenshot, for this thread, but i keep getting screenshot failed, I'm on the PC verison :'(

I Love Limsa Lominsa! Character name is Robyn Fairfax

See, I was Originally planning to gather a lot of people with alts they needed an RP story with, As did I, and I thought what if "A Family or Clan, made up of the different races, but called a clan/family because of their similar intrests have been a clan/family for a while, but since the calamity they had to do what they thought best for the clan, and therefore had to do anything in their power, even resorting to crime and underhandedness to insure their clans survival" Ofcourse, it is still just an Idea, and I would love people to help me build on it, I might start a separate topic if people agree to helping me and joining. because of their views of "Doing whatever we can, even resort to badness" policy they would be viewed as villains and those who knew would view them as bad, where as in retrospect would be more along the lines of Chaotic Neutral, Since its going to be mainly alts, we can also level together through the game and not have to worry about group finding for dungeons, nor buying stuff off the market if there are people willing to gather and craft items for each other.

So all the RP free company ads i see in shout are all "To protect Eorzea" "To defeat power foes" and "Help anyone in need" never have i seen "To seize power over the realm" and such, so I was wondering how many people would consider RP as a villain, it would give the good FC's more in the way of RP as they would be fighting villains IC'ly and not the riff-raff with the Garleans. just wondering your thoughts

Putting aside the other game for the moment, in most MMOs (including XIV), the problem is that you're asserting authority over another player's character and story without requesting their consent. For a lot of players, that's tantamount to godmoding, and it's no surprise to me that the reaction would be icy. It's similar to the problem of "player-run towns" -- a lot of RPers take the standpoint of, "Who gave you the right to tell me what I can and can't do? I didn't agree to that!" They don't recognize the authority because they don't feel it's appropriate or fair for you, as a player, to assert it in the first place. From an etiquette perspective, IMO, playing a character that asserts authority over other PCs without their consent is never a good idea. As for nobility in general, I think the usual complaint is that it's often abused by those who want to demand respect and power IC without playing a character that would earn it; as such, it's gotten a bad reputation as a cheap Sue-ish trope at this point. That, I think, is the core of why most characters brush it off -- that, and you have no way to apply IC consequences to a random player who ignores it; your only only option is to walk away from the RP. None of that is to say that noble concepts can't work, though. Usually, they work best if restricted to a group of like-minded (and consenting) players. Outside of that group, the concept needs to be set up so that it doesn't step on other players' toes. For instance, the house may be disgraced or otherwise cast down (which gives you a reason to adventure, too); it doesn't have any real power other than money and reputation (which would be the common case in XIV, which largely isn't feudal); it's in charge of an area that's "off the map" and so its authority doesn't apply to other PCs; etc. This guy speaks the truth ^

The actually character I would have role playing as nobility, is actually Hyur , I only rp miqo'te with my sister, then we're twins who are part time hunters and sellswords. But we should work something out together My character is a Hyur as well, Midlander So is my Hyur this is too awesome, so what should we have them as? Siblings, friends, cousin, Friends/acquaintances, or distant relatives could work As per Faye's backstory, any of her close family is dead. Friends/acquaintances it is it is then How old is your character IC, Mine is 17. He's the youngest of seven and the only son, and he likes to dress up as a common worker and go wander around outside his families home. Gotta work on a proper backstory, he is a relatively new character.

Thats quite intresting, gotta look more into it. I'm just glad there are other people who RP as rich and prospective, noble ect, Just gotta find the right People I guess

yes, I am on Balmung, and if more people were interested we could sort something out. and if you want a good Idea on how they act, watch downton abbey :3

(Not sure if this is the correct forum to ask, but meh) Does any nobility, or wealthy family, lords/ladies Rp ever go on, I know in coerthas they have the "Houses" which is in lore, but what about in RP? If not, why? Is it possible to work with it, while still being Lore-friendly, if so, does anyone wanna help me arrange some noble houses of our own in some quiet corner of Eorzea, (Perhaps different houses/families of different races). That would bring some Politics to Rp since you would marry of your eldest daughter to the heir of another noble house, or you would forbid your Miqo'te daughter from fraternizing and seeing that darn son of those Rogedyns. I think it would bring people together and make more realistic RP. I would try and arrange it all myself, but i'm bad at trying to fit things within the boundaries of lore. What do you lot think?:?

Some people are too dumb to realise that MMO is short for MMORPG which means Massive multiplayer online role playing game:D

hehe, this would probably be my characters theme when I make him, Just waiting for maintenance to end I46VKOE1mEU

so the sixth umbral moon would correspond to our December?

I'mm slightly confused about deciding birth dates for characters because I could not get my head around the eras. How would one go about it?

Yeah, I got the game a few days ago and have a main on Lich(eu), but I decided to finally get around to an RP character... But unfortunately I havent the foggiest where to begin So I was thinking, If anyone wanted to family RP.. They might consider me and show me a thing or two about RP. I Will happily play an Elezen, Miqo'te or Hyur. Bearing in mind.. Id probably play a younger and shy/nervouse sibling... Any takers :3 I need to know before I even make a character so I can get the last name right first name will probably be Bobby or Wraithor Oh, I'm also in the GMT timezone

Hey, I'm WraithorBobby (That isnt my real name fyi) And I havent bought FFXIV yet, but plan to in the next 2 weeks, So I decided to make an account now, and possibly find one or two people willing to Rp with me for when I do get the game. I'm not new to RP so dont worry
