  1. I'm glad folks are enjoying this. Gharen is... Streams and music. And a couple of alts... Raih'a Nelhah... Logs and emotion.. alrighty. Jajaraji Nanaraji... Wine and stamina. :blush:
  2. [align=center]SMELL LIKE?[/align] http://herosmellslike.com/ ...Enjoy. *Op is not responsible for what hilarity may or may not ensue.
  3. Not a problem, use the time to whip up those alts, refine your character's story, perhaps start a wiki page? Or use the RPC to make some contacts so that you can jump right in when you transfer over. :thumbsup:
  4. Transfers are $18, I don't think that you can use the steam wallet, purchases like that have to go through the Mog station just like your sub.
  5. You're more than welcome to ask questions, Gilgamesh And Balmung are sometimes open very briefly after maintenance, getting onto the servers these days normally is extremely difficult as a result. One method that people have been using has been to create a full slate of characters on an open server, then pay for a character transfer. This will allow you to bypass the server lock and you'll be able to move all of your characters over as a whole. It's not a perfect solution, but the only one we really have at the moment.

    This really isn't unfamiliar territory and you wouldn't be the first person to want to play a character that has crossed from one world to another. It has been confirmed lore that the Final Fantasy worlds are connected, though separated by the void, Gilgamesh for instance as he's appeared in multiple titles since his introduction in Final Fantasy V is literally the same character across all of them. After having been banished to the void by Exdeath, he now has the ability to visit these other worlds, the the majority of these being simply cameos. He is quite literally the Deadpool of Final Fantasy. If we wanted to look at promotional side quests as lore, Eorzea has been visited by the likes of characters from Final fantasy XI and XIII. Though I would defer to our resident lore maven Sounsyy. That said, he is an extreme example. Playing as someone from lets say Warcraft, Everquest, The Lost World or something really silly like World of Darkness is likely going to illicit a negative response from most people. I think the further removed you make this character from the lore the larger the hurdles you'll make for yourself regarding the majority of RP on the server. Not that I'm saying I know what your concept is going to be. In essence if you're going to do it, don't be terribly outlandish with it. Though you don't need a whole lot of lore background to create a character to begin with It's very easy to create an extremely basic bare bones backstory and fill in the blanks as you learn about the game. Regardless of your decision, feel free to ask questions, lore or otherwise. And just cause it's Gilgamesh... 2XsQIHGSNhs
  7. So I recently answered a similar question for another individual over >Here< The examples still apply in whether you're new, returning, or a light Rp'er the issue is contacts and connections. Hopefully this post will assist all of you in your search.
  8. So, couple of things definitely worth giving a try. - Walk up RP - Walking up to a total stranger in an RP hub while effective, could be hit or miss, you don't know if you're going to get quality RP, or something unwanted entirely. - The RPC - Some of the best, and lasting friendships I have made ingame started right here on the RPC. You can see what kind of person folks are by the posts they make, along with the fact that a good portion of folks here have a wiki for their characters. The stories they may write in the Town hall can also give you insight into their RP style and whether you could learn a thing or two from them. The RPC is an excellent resource if want to make a mental list of folks you want to stalk... err.. RP with! Follow that up with a PM to someone on that mental list asking if they'd like "meet" For instance... ---------------------------- To: Steel Wolf Subject: I was wondering if you'd like to RP sometime. Hey, I really like your character, and the (concept/story/wiki) behind them. I was wondering if you'd like to RP sometime in the near future? That cool guy, Gharen ---------------------------- Now I used Steel Wolf as an example here but you get the Idea. (Seriously though Steel, we need to RP, hit me up sometime.) - Linkshells - I'm sure you know all about these, and that they are a good way to gauge an individual. The RPC has an actively kept list of LS's that you might want to look into right... >Here!< Or you can click the Linkshells tab at the top of the page. - Events - Every Saturday evening (depending on timezone) there's an event right outside of Ul'dah at Fesca's Wash called the Grindstone. Despite changing hands and here and there it's been going on since since right after release. I couldn't tell you how many Rp'ers attend anymore lets just say it's alot, but whether as a participant in RP combat or as a spectator it's worth taking a look. All jokes aside. Those are some of the best things you can do to get started.
  9. I'll take a spot on the waiting list as well if there are any free.
  10. Gharen would be Brian Bloom doing William "B.J." Blazkowicz with a slight Scottish accent. ZC0vUS7i9JA
  11. The Complete series as presented by the late Gametrailers. Perhaps this belongs in the lore section since XIV takes so much influence from it's predecessors. But I thought this would be fun for folks to look back upon to see how things have evolved over the years. (( Still have my NES copy of Final Fantasy in a box somewhere in my house. )) daCW46zW13A
  12. Was working from home and afk'd for a bit. while I did I took some Icam snaps just because some of them were cool, others, well, just plain weird.
  13. Awkward Steel? Yes. Yes. YES. ...you, sound like you might need one of these. http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/files/2015/09/towelette.jpg[/img]
  14. I feel guilty, because every now and then I feel the need to scratch a photoshop itch, and so very often the people of this forum are the victims of that itch. Here are the latest victims.
  15. [align=center](Several Moons ago)[/align] He’d watched the patrols for suns, patiently stalking his prey and observing the behaviors of Gridania’s Wood Wailers. They never once suspected that they were being hunted, eventually an individual had caught his eye. One of the Wailers briefly broke away from his partners during the patrol, slipping through the brush unseen. He met with an Elezen that seemed to be affiliated with the bandits known as the Redbellies, words were traded along with a scroll and a pouch of gil. A sinister smile crossed his lips, The Viper had been correct in her assertion of the Wailers, corruption had even taken root here within Gridania. It mattered little to him now though, he’d found his prey, and all he needed to do was wait. A week passed, and each sun since he stalked his intended mark, learning about him. Wailer Stephannot Gerson was his name, he was no rookie; having joined just after Dalamud’s fall, he was careful and methodical, abilities apt for the life of a traitor. Today was the next intended meeting with the bandit contact, and it was this day that his luck was about to run out. Bells later, Wailer Gerson separated from his patrol as expected; he carried with him the details and routes of the next week’s patrols. This arrangement had allowed him to live a more comfortable lifestyle, certainly more so than the average wailer of his rank. He pushed away the brush and expected to see his contact waiting for him at the tree they’d designated, what he found was something much more horrifying. The body of whom he could only presume was his contact lie crumpled in the brush, reduced to a pile of gore amidst the foliage painted in hues of red. Wailer Gerson’s jaw dropped, and his heart rate quickened as he tried to take a step back and return to his patrol. He’d hoped to escape whatever had done this, but it was too late. He was grabbed from behind and shoved forward, his face slammed into the tree, a trickle of blood ran freely from a fresh cut upon his cheek mixing with that of his accomplice. He tried to resist, tried to cry out, but he was quickly beset upon again. A metal clad hand constricted around his mouth reducing his voice to little more than muffled screams. Searing pain promptly followed as a blade found its way into his back, puncturing his diaphragm and lungs. Void energy flowed down the arm of the armored figure and through the blade into his victim. It would not take long for the voidlings carried by the energy to establish themselves within the new host and begin to feed upon his aether. They would halt his ability to be healed via conjury, and in turn spread via aether to any conjuror that made an attempt to heal the infected man. The attacker leaned in as he pulled the blade out and stabbed the man again in the liver. The muffled cries of the man reduced to whimpers. “Prey, if you are fast, and your patrol manages to get you a conjuror before you bleed out, they might just be able to save you.” When the attacker pulled the blade out and released his grip, Gerson dropped to his knees amidst the carnage, crippled by his own agonizing pain. Turning slowly, as his assailant disappeared into the wilderness behind him like a ghost, he could feel the warmth of the blood that ran down his back. A tingling numbness had begun to take hold, as he pushed himself to his feet and staggered back to his patrol as quickly as he could shouting for them along the way. The assailant moved through the brush with the practiced steps of a hunter leaving little trace of his passing. Gerson would be dead soon, Gridania’s conjurors would attempt to heal him and fail, becoming infected in the process themselves. They would spread the voidlings to others and soon, it would be too late. His passing would mark the beginning of the outbreak of the infection in Gridania. The assailant reached within his coat and removed a spherical device, he noted the message on its glassy surface "Them finding me will not bode well... for anyone. Otherwise, do as you will." He smiled wickedly beneath his helm and made his way to his steed. It seemed he would be returning to Ishgard sooner than expected.
