Hi there! Okay, I understand. So ... will it be difficult to RP in the case when one person is @ level 16 while another is @ 40? Or do you guys generally have no problem with it? When you say "run alongside the pacekeeper" ... does this mean a higher level character can participate/replay events that they have already gone through? I imagine it would only work for dungeons right? Not story events as well? Good to know about lower level characters too since that will be me in the beginning .... =P

@Blue Thanks for sharing the information about your guild! So it's a guild that is focused on the MSQ to make it seem like a group of heroes (instead of one hero) tackling the MSQ together huh ... yes I may be interested in it! I am thinking maybe I can follow your guild for MSQ RP and on the side create a slice of life styled personal story for other RP. Not sure how it would work but I guess I could try. For example, I imagine I can set my character as both an adventurer (for MSQ RP) and a monster researcher - since he is an animal/monster lover (for slice of life RP). This way when I am on MSQ, I can be an adventurer, while other times I can talk from the perspective of a monster researcher and say I went on a trip (MSQ) and collected information about such and such fascinating creatures - without giving away details of the MSQ. Something like that ..... Question, is your guild mainly stationed in Balmung though? Because I am actually a new player to FF14 so I plan to join Gilgamesh since Balmung is a legacy server - though I don't know if the legacy/non-legacy thing really matters? Also, what if one person progresses much faster or slower in the guild? Or does your guild basically encourage everyone to play at the same pace by setting a guild schedule?

Yeah, makes a lot of sense. Both of your posts are great. Thank you. I will go craft a personal story that is unrelated to the MSQ now.

I see~ So doesn't really work huh .... Besides using the main scenario as my character's personal story, how about just talking about current event then? When you RP, do you avoid talking about the main scenario story/events as current events?

Hi guys. I am wondering if it's possible to use the main scenario in the game as my character's personal story? One possible problem I imagine is that let's say I am 20% into the game ... and someone else is 80% into the game ... If I talk to the person about "current events" (for me), it will not be current events to them since they have already experienced the part of story that I am currently at (20%), is that correct? Does this mean you can't really use main scenario as your character's personal story? And I should probably come up with something else for my character's personal story? Thanks.

Wow ... this is some impressive character creation. Awesome graphics and the variations it produces .... sweet!! O__O

Same here. A few days ago I was able to create a character in Balmung. A day or two later, Balmung and Gilgamesh both stopped accepting new characters. Then yesterday, half of the servers were closed off. It's probably due to the PS4 beta phase 2 allowing everyone to play for free. Now that the beta just ended, I imagine the traffic will go down significantly so they should open up pretty soon again.

Got on the PS4 beta and played around with the character creation a bit ...... ----- Yic Zeiros Class: Arcanist/Summoner Info: My fictional self. Personality based on myself with exaggerated character traits. A talented and powerful spellsword who is both skilled in melee and magic. Most notable character trait is that he is an animal/monster lover. Will show mercy in sight of cute monsters and sob when he has no choice but to slay one in order to save lives .... T__T Most definitely will be my main. I've done some research on arcanist/summoner class and they sound like a lot of fun to play. Can't wait to start!!! Miola Zeiros Class: Gladiator/Conjurer combo Info: My fictional daughter from the future ..... :v And yes, she time travels!!! Aedan Cousland Class: Grey Warden Info: Does the name sound familiar? Yep, he is my character from Dragon Age: Origins hehe Zets Nerethi Class: Lancer Info: A dark knight cursed (or blessed) with a powerful demon prince inside him ..... Laeda Averia Class: Gladiator/Paladin Info: Warrior of the divine. She lives and fights to serve any benevolent God that exists for the good of humanity. She does not serve humans because she believes men eventually will become corrupted when given power.

It was a struggle choosing between ESO and FF14 since I can't afford to pay monthly fee for 2 games every month ..... so yeah, I ended up picking FF14!! But ONE DAY ... I will certainly find my way to Tamriel as well!! =P How are you enjoying the game btw? In comparison to FF14 maybe?

Saw this a few days ago and couldn't help to save it ... pretty badass eh? =P

@Varryn Okay, will do! And thanks!

@Zhavi I see I see ... so you've only played 2.0 since 2 weeks ago huh? Well, if you decide to create a new character in Gilgamesh maybe we can meet up there then. =D

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. =D @TheLastCandle Yeah, Nocturne is one of my fave RPG games!! Have yet to play SMT4 since I don't own a 3DS ... but one day definitely!! >_< @Zhavi I've checked out the Linkshell Hall. There sure are some interesting ones. How about specific areas in the game that RPers like to gather around? There sure are some? But then under your avatar it says "Server: Balmung", so I guess any area you know will probably be in Balmung huh ..... What are some of the major differences between a legacy server and a non-legacy server btw? @Magellan Thanks for offering to let me ask you questions. =) I've read through some introductory threads on RP and I still find it all a bit scary. Maybe the more I read the scarier actually haha. Yeah, I am pretty sure I will end up in Gilgamesh since I don't want to step in a legacy server. So I will be sure to check out United Blades. =D I read that you can only join one Free Company? So I guess one should take their time when choosing one huh. Or is it okay to join and leave as you please? But I imagine that's something frowned upon eh.

Hello everyone. My name is Ivan. I am completely new to FF14 and RP. I plan to get FF14 when it comes out on PS4 and that will be the first time I ever touch this game. I am interested in the idea of RP but probably just light RP instead of serious RP - because honestly the idea of creating a scene/plot makes me nervous since it sounds like I will need to be good at writing to be able to do it well. But I would love to go through the game (main scenario and side quests) while hanging out with people who are in character so the whole experience/journey will feel more immersive. Maybe join a casual/light RP linkshell/free company or just hang around/settle down in areas that are RP heavy. If someone can provide me with information or recommend me on light RP linkshells/free companies & places to hang around where it's RP heavy, that would be great! Nice to meet you all. =D EDIT: Btw, I will probably end up in Gilgamesh server since I am a new player.
