Aysun

Darn. Too late. Cute idea.

Gravity Mage cuz I like to mess with people.

I would volunteer to be a sort of.. contributor (news, informative posts, feedback), but not a moderator! Looking forward to seeing this transition.

This is not the first time she has done this (specifically, too--quoting someone without asking them first, as well as using their words out of context to support her or her LS in some way), and won't be the last. I'm sorry that she did that, Eva. I understand why you felt the need to post this here.

THIS. Oh god, I'd have no idea how to code something like that though to make it like an actual blog that users can access instead of a forum thread/wiki. Hmmm. I guess the bottom line is I support the idea, even if I'm not quite sure how we'd do it. Easiest thing would probably be what Eva suggested, a frequently updated sticky that lists links to our journals in other places.

Will be in Mor Dhona, fighting, expecting to die. :3 Fun, no? Should be with Selene at the time.

Love where this is going.

Welcome! Glad you'll be joining us. You'll be one of many male miqo'te bursting into the community, lol. ARR can't come soon enough (for reasons other than male miqo'te)! Are you going to try to sign up for the beta?

Nah, they'll let us buy starting gear.

Check out the Lodestone for the latest information. A lot has happened since you left and stuff. Unfortunately it's only going to free to play til the servers go down on November 11th if you get in and pay now (if I understand it correct). I also know time is running out for anyone who wants to join the current version of the game. The new version of the game, A Realm Reborn (2.0), will not be free to play either. You could apply for the alpha (applications are open now I think) and beta though.

An attempt would be made to contact the distributor of these fliers, to query as to why they would choose this sacred place for such a meeting.

Updated to new format. I don't expect any major changes in this from here on out.

Nahaara, chill, lol. Your character sheet/wiki is right here. I was doing transfers yesterday to the new wiki and did not transfer yours because we were asked to transfer people we know are active personally. You can do that yourself if you're still actively RPing on the other server, or I can do it for you if you prefer.

Figured I'd post a log of the stories and whatnot from last night, since I know a lot of people had to AFK or DC'd at some point or another and their characters were technically still there. Also, fun stories and poems and junk for OOC reading! Enjoy!!

I, on the other hand, think you should keep it as is. Minimal images. I remember we used to have the little "book" thing going on and it was extremely cumbersome. The more professional the site looks, the better! As I offered before, I'd gladly help you go through profiles and copy/paste/save the information pre-reinstall.. Just let me know.

Gerik isn't bald, he has a shaved head! There's a huuuge difference. :3 ..I think.. I love that kid pic. I want one of Aysun now.

Hello and welcome! I know you're a new player, do you RP as well? If so, look in to getting the out of character link pearl called Backstage. Just /tell any of us in game and we will get you hooked up. It's a good way to find RP! Getting started is always tough, but we're here to help you through it! Gerik answered most things but here's my two cents too: 2. By slots I think they mean accumulated leves. When you don't do your leves every day (about 8 per day as Gerik said) they'll accumulate up to 99 (which is usually where I sit at, though I'm in the 50s at the moment from grinding Miner leves!). Likely the reason for the discrepancy between you and your partner was that they started the game slightly before you did. 3. Oh, there's a lot to do! If you feel like leveling your DoM/DoW (that's magic and melee battle classes) you can use the Search function to seek a party. Ul'dah is currently the most common place for people to shout for assistance on quests/raids and experience/leveling, so hanging out there can help you find people to party with (or shouting and forming a party yourself!) Quests! NPC's will appear with an ! over their head (also appears on the minimap) when they have a sidequest available to you. There is a main scenario line that follows the Echo story (Hear, Feel, Think--will be continued/restarted after A Realm Reborn launches), a Grand Company storyline which follows the Dalamud/Garlean empire threat (this is ending soon!), class quests (every class including DoM-magic/DoW-war/DoH-crafters/DoL-gatherers has a questline that becomes available at certain levels), job quests (unlocking jobs, abilities, and artifact armor for JOBs such as White mage, Monk, Paladin, become available when you are level 30 of a main class and level 15 of a sub class), and assorted side quests that appear at different levels with the NPCs around Eorzea. If you ever accept a quest and don't know what to do, check your Journal. There's often a description and a map (lower left corner) to show you were to go next! Explore!~ There's a lot of Eorzea that you won't be able to see after A Realm Reborn launches! Enjoy the scenery, find the hidden caves, start working to get into dungeons. Shposhae is a non-instanced dungeon that provides a challenge and fun gear for level 15s. The lowest instanced raid is level 25 and is called Toto-rak. Higher instanced raids for level 50s are Darkhold, Aurum Vale, Cutters Cry, and Castrum Novum. They're used in quests, missions, relic weapons, and getting rare gear. There's also Skirmish, an NM-fight island with weapon rewards, and primal fights (Garuda, Ifirt, Moogle) that you will see people shout for that also give weapon awards. Achievements- there are a lot of achievements available to try to complete. Some won't be available anymore after A Realm Reborn (or will be replaced). Especially the exploration aetheryte/behest/levelquest achievements. Try to get to every aether point sometime! It's good fun. Take up a trade!- Gatherers find items out in Eorzea at points using specific tools (weathered tools are sold by an NPC in the middle of the Fieldcraft ward) and crafters make the gear from these materials! It's great to feel self-sufficient. Crafting and gathering take a lot more work, in a sense that it takes more time to level, but they are very rewarding and can be a good source of gil! RP!- this is a hub for RPers on Balmung. We like to RP! Join us. 4. Leves occasionally will give gear as a reward, but it's rare sometimes. Usually you will get gil and shards/food. Definitely check out the Market wards in your city. Most gear is crafted and sold by players in the wards, but lower level gear is low-demand so is sometimes hard to find or is overpriced! That's another reason to join a linkshell, a lot of us are crafters and are able to make some low leveled gear for nothing if you tell us what you want (google: mooglebox to browse gear). Some gear slots you won't bother filling until teens+ levels (jewelry, waist, etc) anyway. Woo. That was fun. Hope you see you in game soon!

I think the only reason I'm okay with it myself is that it doesn't look as hokey as what I think of when I think time travel. I totally understand people wanting to take the other route, but I figured since I already had bits of the storyline in Aysun's story (the Echo, for example), that I might as well go with this too!

Interesting: According to Camate, Community Rep, on the Lodestone forums. Hmm~ I'm kinda curious since I'm opting to let w/e SE decides happen to Aysun. I bet it's that funny little tattoo that NPCs like Thancred share.

Carbuncle now = Eevee I'm okay with this.

First, welcome! My first suggestion would be to join the OOC LS Backstage. You can meet other RPers there and get a feel for some of the active RPLS's. There aren't very many at the moment, unfortunately, but with A Realm Reborn there will be some new ones emerging. You're joining us at a rather odd time ICly, what with the world ending and all! There are tons of miqo'te. Easily over half of the XIV community (including the RP community) are miqo'te. It's insane.

Leanna I think the problem you are having might be more to do with just.. people not wanting to RP about other characters than their own. That's a common theme in the community. It's hard to get together big things for your own storyline if people don't see an obvious opportunity for their character to get something out of it (eg: character growth, hardship, dramz) other than playing a part in your stuff.

I think that those who are held for timewarp will be basically all "adventurers", like those who have the Echo. There will be NPCs that are from that time period I'm sure, just like there are NPCs that don't have the Echo. But, just like now where all PC adventurers--us!--are afflicted with the Echo in-game, there are those who roleplay with it and and those who chose to not have their character have it. I just wish we knew how long it was going to be! I know some people want to age their characters instead of warping them, and others who want to start new ones (non-warped). But without the period of time, it's hard for anyone to make any choices..

I find that offensive! No, really, thanks for updating this. Needed to be done. It's good that it's super clear now.
