I actually role play this aspect of it - not nobility, but a wealthy merchant family who now have to learn with being dirt poor and homeless in Eorzea. It does bring its own troubles, as we dont know what arts and what activities the doman public enjoyed. However we know they kept at least part of their ancient language alive through naming convention.

More Roes! More roes! more roes! Also, welcome! I enjoyed GW2 and Swtor in my day too *old man voice* But FFXIv is a lovely place.

Welcome! game is a big change from Old Starwars! Hope you enjoy your stay.

Come with me, all the tank gear drops~

Aye, I do. I have certain expectations of all players, not just roleplayers. However I do admit I can lose my temper at times, especially when year and a half old content inst' clearable with a party of people in full poetics-rank gear or around. yes, I roleplay, but in moderation. I have a weekly static and progress through both PVE content and enjoy roleplay. This isn't about one particular instance it is about my two year observations. I've formed many statics only to have members drop out for roleplay scenes, to not know the full rotation of their classes. There is no need to insult me with memes or the kind when I'm just trying to offer helpful advice. I'm not speaking from just my perspective but - as part of a PVE guild - this is the perspective of /many/ players. Also if you will read, I did state that my post didn't apply to everyone, so don't take personal offense. ^^

Unfortunately for us, role players have a lot of stigma attached to them which makes participation in end game hard. What kind of stigma am I talking about? well... In the past and recently i've noticed many issues with forming an all roleplayer read group. This doesn't apply to every roleplayer, in fact it might not apply to most but they are trends i've encountered. These all relate to these three factors: 1. lack of PVE knowledge - This is a big one, it is easy to sign up for a group but it is hard to actually perform well. The rotation you may be used to may not be the best for optimal dps. Those shoes? despite being a higher ilevel could be the complete wrong stats for your class. Aside from that, lack of preparation for fights - not knowing exactly the full utility of your class. People often confuse Gear level with DPS output and this isn't the case, I've seen Monks in gear 10 points lower then others out dps monks in all bet in slot. 2. Raid Attendance - I hate to say this, but roleplayers aren't well known for their punctuality. Ever. As a raid leader, you want someone who will always put the raid first and not their lovey dovey chance roleplay scene. Dropping the group one day just to finish a roleplay is not acceptable in a PVE'rs eyes and can often lead to disruptions in the group as a whole. Raids need to operate on schedule with your dedicated group for a team to build, If you don't show up, how are you going to bond with your team mates? know instinctively their move patterns. you won't. Dont fret, though - if something drastic happens, like a real life issue - most groups are understanding. 3. Unrealistic Expectations & Receiving criticism - A lot of roleplayers i've met often have (when it comes to raids) strange expectations. You're not going to down it on your first attempt - if its new content, it might even take you a month to get past the first phase. This is normal - this is called progression raiding. However what comes with progression raiding is advice and council from your team members. Don't feel offended if someone tells you the parser has shown you to be doing low dps, go at a striking dummy and research what you need to do to change things so you and your raid group can continue. All in all, I think roleplay wise - It isn't important but if you wish to be serious about PVE too, please take int consideration the fact that others put a lot of time into PVE compared to other aspects of the game and will have at last minimal expectations of you. don't be -that guy- who cancels raid for roleplay. Show up, you can always continue rp on skype.

I a hundred percent agree. I've heard too many times about people being targetted or attacked on Tumblr because of their roleplay decisions or even OOC decisions which can be completely false. I know there are linkshells out there dedicated and used as a purpose of talking of how much you hate certain people or XYZ regardless of your knoweldge of them. Sometimes, the community feels like highschool again, and that isn't cool. We're (mostly) all adults here.

My whole Fc got 90k'd.

Spend an hour in queue, get 90k'd in three minutes. ._.

I'm from New Zealand, and I'm on balmung. There are people from all sorts of timezones here.

They go out randomly, just refresh the mail in the morning.

Costs me 79 too, New Zealand/Australia prices.

Now only is tomorrow official release. but there are going to be an influx of returning players due to the welcome back campaign. I suspect Aether server will be even harder to connect to. Please stay civil and calm.

Fun fact: "Shere Khan" from Jungle Book translates as, "King of Lions" in at least one language. [Admin Hardhat] Back on-topic we go, shall we? Tumet! [/Admin Hardhat] haha thank you, I didn't mind the derailing too much but thank you.

:3 change two of the ???'s in Tumet to: Qatah Tumet (sophie) Khujin Tumet (kurt)

;D and Ican help you do it in 10 minutes (well 30, but still)

If you're low level, I can power level you to 15 or so if required.

However, DRK has the benefit of being able to tank and pull 600+ dps. I don't.. I mean, its an amazing class. people jus havent figured out all the kinks to it. DRK is meant to be a tank though. Dps shouldn't really be its saving grace. Seeing as all new raids take into account Healer and rank DPS, yes, yes it is. And correct WAR can out dps a DRk, however, they cannot tank efficently while not in defiance stance, where as DRK can tank and deal near equal dps.

Certainly, that works. http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/baras-aghur/mongolian.html I'd recommend giving this a read, near the bottom is some helpful information to help make your name more lore proof if need be.

there is a 10 million gil cap on how much you can take with you. Odd... I heard it was a million plus 100k per retainer. Maybe it's linked to the sever your trying to transfer to. Well anyways I'm sure there are more then a fair number of players sit on 50 million plus. Also did they ever get to letting players from 1.0 transfer? I remember something about them not letting Legacy player transfer when they first starting to let players switch world. It is also the reason why the transfers didn't work.

We have a linkshell! for those who just want tumet-background links, feel free to join. we are also open to recruitment for any apperance/gender of Tumet Xaela! Maybe even a super special Raen with a Tumet name if your backstory works.

I have a Xaela - Tumet tribe who'd possibly talk to you. He's a small hunt leader, may not be the friendliest.

I have only leveled Scholar and summoner thus far but I must say...
