I've actually seen this happen a few times before, though I'm not a bit closer to understanding people who do things like this. :dazed: The thing is though, most people who I see doing this kind of thing aren't actually trolling, they're just (in the nicest way possible) stupid. It's rude, even moreso given the fact that this was at an event. Strolling in and waving your weapon at everyone is generally gonna be met with the same IC, and expecting all present to drop whatever they're doing to get killed or maimed by your op-super-sayain-teleporting-invincible character is just not cool. If it's an RPC circlejerk because people here understand that being rude isn't gonna get you anywhere then, well, I guess that's that.:angel:

Hey there! Welcome to the game and the RPC. Getting on to Balmung or Gilgamesh is pretty damn hard at the moment. Your best bet would be to transfer over, as that bypasses the character restriction, if you're willing to pay it. There are lots of super helpful people here if you have any questions, and feel free to PM for anything /wave Enjoy your stay!

Hey there - welcome back to the game. Feel free to give me a /poke in game if you see me around.

Welcome back! I'm also just returning from a long hiatus (man, there is just so much new stuff!) Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions (I'll try to help!) or if you simply fancy some RP.

Isabela's handling it... Pretty well, actually, considering she's never even heard of the Au Ra. She's more intrigued by them than anything else, and perhaps slightly nervous around them. Mostly, she'll just stare at them from afar because apparently nobody taught her that's rude. :bouncy:

Isabela thinks that the glass should be half-full with wine (or full-full.) Isabela also thinks that a glass sitting around is likely dirty, and would say something groundbreaking like, "Somebody should clean that."

Congratulations! Autumn is a beautiful name. And welcome back.

Isabela's stomach dropped to her boots, her palms began to sweat, her heart picked up speed. "No," she said, face screwed up like a sulking girl's , and she was surprised by the steady steel in her voice. "I am not marrying anyone, least of all- I'm not." Her parents stood before her. Isabela's mother was a woman of fourty-something summers with an elegant and graceful demeanour. She was dressed impeccably as always - black heeled shoes and a crimson dress that flowed just below the knees, adorned with beautiful gems which glittered in the sunlight pouring in through the window. Her father, on the other hand, was a man a decade older, with a harsh face and a large gut. His hands, which were stuffed in the pockets of his doublet, came to his sides in tight fists. One hand lifted to jab a stubby forefinger at Isabela's chest. "You'll do as we say, girl. We raised you, paid for you tutors, your clothes, your food. I'll not tolerate your ungratefulness." Isabela narrowed her eyes at her father. "Oh, stop pretending you've given me everything. You've spoiled Arthur rotten since he was born, and he only wastes the coin on gambling and whoring." Isabela's mother gasped, covering her mouth with a dainty, jewelled hand. "Isabela Rutherford, don't you dare talk about your brother like that! Arthur is responsible with his coin and time. Indeed, you could learn from his example. We no longer give you money because you waste it all on your foolish endeavours. Dusty relics and musty books? Pah!" Isabela scowled fiercely at her mother, tersely stating, "You weren't so dismissive when my findings paid off your dressmaker's debts, were you, mother dear?" Before another comment could be made, however, Isabela's father cut in. "Enough. You will be getting married, wether you like it or not. His family is extremely wealthy, and that's to say nothing of their ties to the Syndicate. Do you know what this will mean for us?" "Yes. It means you'll be able to prance around and pretend you're more important than you are while kissing the arses of your betters." Her father's face contorted in anger and he raised his hand. Isabela flinched, waiting for the blow, but her mother's voice rang out. "Alexander! Don't hit her," she shrilled at her husband, placing her hand over his. The man relented, glaring daggers at his daughter. "No less than the ungrateful brat deserves, Sarah," he spits. She ignored the comment, instead turning to face Isabela with a wet sheen to her eyes. "Please, darling, won't you do this for us? He is very handsome, you know, and he's interested in you. Won't you at least meet him at dinner tonight?" Isabela opened her mouth to reply, to tell them both she'd rather dive from a canyon than marry someone for their gain, but, as always, the fake tears welling in her mother's eyes filled her with guilt. "You know I can't. I told you both - I'm already court-" "You're young and foolish, girl. You're a Rutherford; I'll not have you sully our name with your... dalliance with that 'adventurer,'" her father spat the last word as though it were a rotten fruit, his ugly face twisting in disgust; at her, she knew, as much as Aldric. Isabela knew arguing with her parents was futile at best, and she could see her father's hair-thin restraint already fraying. She sighed tiredly. "Fine," she said in a small voice, "I'll meet him." Her mother embraced her, spouting things like 'thank you,' and 'I'm so proud of you, darling,' while she stood stiffly, feeling as though she were a doll suspended by strings; absolutely powerless to control her own life.

Welcome back! If you see Bela around feel free to gimme a poke!

Hey. Welcome! I'm just back from a long break and feeling super nervous to jump back in myself There are lots of EU players on Balmung - myself included. Feel free to hit me up on here or in-game for some RP or whatever else. Enjoy your stay

To be honest, I'm not sure I know a community where these things don't happen, be it in games, RP, forums, real life. It sucks, but people are people. All anyone can truly do is move on.

Thanks! Hope to see you around. :-)

hey there! I'm Tanner, or Shay, but you can actually call me whatever you like (Godzilla totally works for me.) I'm actually not new to the forums; I used to RP quite frequently until I had to take a break for a good long while. Unfortunately I forgot my log in details, so here I am trying to get back in to the swing of things (a LOT has changed woah):dazed: --MMORPG background Hmm I played a lot of WoW before FF, a little Runescape, ect ect. --RP experience I've been Roleplaying for a few years now! I believe I started with a few of my WoW friends, though that was only forum and IM stuff. FF was my first time Roleplaying in an MMO, so I'm still very new to it (about a year??) --Character ideas/info Mm, o lord. I've had so many different ideas it's pretty hard to get anything cemented, I'm super indecisive at best. But I very much like the idea of RPing a character from a wealthy family. An Ul'dahn noble perhaps? Noble rivalries and underhanded politicking really appeal to me. I'm totally open to some ideas, if fact I'd appreciate them. --How did you learn about the coalition? hmm, I honestly can't remember. I think a player told me about it. --What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? My time spent RPing in-game will be very sporadic at first, what with HW and actually getting my butt to finish the MSQ, but once I'm back in the groove of things I'll be medium-heavy. I'm also always up for some forum/IM stuff. --Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) sure! I'm a 19 year old student from London studying art at college, to my immense regret. Among my greatest passions are games, stories (surprise!) and art, and I've been known to ramble. I'm a total scatterbrain too, but hey, what do you expect, I'm a student. Whew! Introductory posts are always so hard. So yeah, that's it. As I've already said, I'd be super appreciative of any ideas - perhaps even some help fleshing out a character, or to brush up on the lore. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm buying the PS4 version, the beta was a blast. PSN's AtomicShay for anyone else who's getting it. :chocobo:

Awesome idea. Thanks for doing this! I'm sure Vivenne will need something like this at some point.
