Hello and welcome to zee RPC! That sounds like my experience with WoW, too. Fun at first, but petered off... Luckily FFXIV hasn't done that for me yet~! Hopefully it'll be the same for you . If you're looking for some help guides and what not, you can find a few here and scattered elsewhere on the forum. Or~ if you have a more direct question, please feel free to ask us! We love to help!

Hey! Welcome to the RPC, we are here to help! You have some guides you might want to check out, but we also have a mentor program you may be interested in. You could snatch up a mentor for some one on one help with your character and RP in general.

Hey there! Glad you have you join us . As previously stated, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. We're here to help! We even have so pre-prepared guides and what not~ Welcome again!

Hey there! I have a soft sport for ex-pirates, lemme tell ya >.>. That's always a fun accent to try and translate into text, too : P! Lots of choices as far as Linkshells here, huh? If you haven't already looked, you can find all we have listing in the Linkshell Hall! We also have some handy-dandy guides to help you out. Welcome~ !

Commission for Deirdre. Her and her brood of kiddies: Falke, Crane and Cygnus, in that order, left to right. [spoil][/spoil]

Hello, Anna! Happy to have you . If you have any questions as far as the lore of the game, we are more than happy to answer them for you or~ we have a few threads to cover this sort of thing. You can find a few of them here. We also have a little mentor program if you're interested in some one on one time with a "veteran" rper : P. Again, welcome!

Hell yeah, ginger Miqo'te /high five. Welcome to the site, my brethren : P Let us know if we can help you with any lore questions or what have you~ Meanwhile we have some li'l help posts that might be of interest to you :3.

Also, as maaany people have pointed out, there's no reason you can't roll a character on both servers. One may be a dinky level one without awesome gear, but it does open you up to an entirely different set of people if that's what you're afraid of missing out on.

AHMG YES

Monsters and place names have always been recycled and reused in FFs, reuse of characters is much more rare (though definitely done before, as a few people have pointed out). To me seeing monsters and places from other Final Fantasies does not indicate there was already dimensional hopping, it's just reuse like we've seen in so many predecessors. ARE there indicators of dimensional hopping in the game already? Yes, I can think of at least one in the Cavernous Maws/Atomos. They look juuust like they did in XI, but if you'll recall, it took a special snowflake character with a mystically obtained "pure white feather" to be able to hop through and save the past and/or Abyssea. As far as I recall, this prestige was limited to you and a few others only (including storyline NPCs) according to the storyline (obviously everyone actually got to do it : P). Of course, that's XI and methods of use may be different in XIV, but the point of all that was to demonstrate the limited nature of these things. I haven't seen any pure white feathers yet~ All that in mind, my personal gripe with this is that I don't want a million dimensional hopping RPers coming in claiming they're from Vana'diel, or the Firefly universe or New York, Earth. Crossovers are a cute amusement, I admit, but they always feel very non-canonical to me. Yes, just to me, it's just my opinion : P. I'll also admit that seeing characters from other Final Fantasies doesn't really bother me TERRIBLY because supposedly it all in the same universe anyway. I'm just worried this is going to be a gateway drug for over the top, unbelievable characters from ridiculousville. Honestly, if people can avoid this, my worries are pretty much moot. I also don't mind this event/quest line and I plan to enjoy it. I just consider it more for fan-service and fun than something that ought to be considered main storyline. Like I said earlier, I hope to see costumes from other games; ones I actually enjoyed : P. I am not going to pass terrible judgement D:! on anyone who chooses to consider the event canon or dimension hop, though. I realize plenty of people have a different viewpoint than I do and none is necessarily more right than the other. Ultimately, a quality character is a quality character and even if I think one aspect of your character is strange, it doesn't mean I can't enjoy RP with you.

Yo you~ Welcome to the RPC, glad you tripped over us

Yo you! Welcome to the RPC! In the tradition of linking hopefully helpful this, i giev you this. May it provide whatever you might need. If not, though, ask us questions! We like to answer!

I keep seeing this comment that the vote made the servers equal, but I never saw when that became the official policy. Can anyone link me to that? We've been kicking this around in the mod forum, trying to figure out how we'd like it presented, as well as gearing up for the subforum.

Well! ... I'm of two minds, where-in I'd love to see outfits from other games, but I do NOOOT want to see the characters in Eorzea. A Beatrix or a Quistis outfit would be kick ass.. Or Celes' gown or Yuna's wedding dress! With the exception of Yuna, though, they're not the leading ladies of their games, so I won't get my hopes up. Maybe it's time to start a request thread on the Beta/Official Forums~

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/blog/post/447 Two in one day!? _______________________________________________ Seek and Ye Shall Find (Duty) July 04, 2013 Greetings all! Fernehalwes popping in again to remind everyone that the newest installment in the Developers' Commentary series has gone live. This time, Yoshi-P and Foxclon dive into a giant, steaming pile of duty...uh...finder...er...CHECK IT OUT! [video=youtube] Yearning to sink your mighty axe into a fiery primal's lower thigh? Dreaming of plucking each and every silky plume from Garuda's backside? But just can't be bothered with the hassle of rounding up that 'perfect' party? Then let the duty finder do the dirty work, and spend the time you save engaging in the finer things... ...like macking on single Lalafells... For those of you who just can't get enough of these fandangled 'moving pictures' all the kids are talking about, GOOD NEWS! We'll have a second video up later this week, just in time for the Beta Test. Huzzah! Fernehalwes

It really was sooo bad... those shots already look better, though.

Let's not make this a debate, eh? This just a request that people be a little bit more mindful of what they say in server threads. If it's a thread directed at the members going to Gilga, there's no need to remind them that the "main server" (using the term loosely) is Balmung. If someone asks about it, let 'em know. If not? They probably already know . Check the topic titles and threads themselves again if you have any doubts on who's being addressed. We're all going to love and be proud of our servers (we hope), but remember to be respectful of the others :3.

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/blog/post/454 __________________________________________________ Le Cinema July 04, 2013 Hello all! Fernehalwes here in muggy Tokyo dreaming of holding hands with a chestnut-eyed Parisian under the Arc de Triomphe while eating slices of ripe brie to the soothing sounds of chanson. Yoshi-P, on the other hand, is LIVING the dream at Japan Expo. Why, just this morning, I found this picture of him on Twitter: That's OBVIOUSLY the producer/director illicitly using our project's funds to catch some tasteless cabaret act. OR... It could be that he's attending the premiere for the new live-action FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn television commercial! The following COULD be stills from that commercial... My sources at Square Enix Europe tell me that from concept to completion, the commercial has been a year-and-a-half in the making, and it will be debuting in PAL regions in the weeks before ARR launches (which is why we cannot post the actual video here yet). My sources also tell me that the costumes used in the filming will be on display at this year's Gamescom in Germany, complete with Miqo'te models and all! I know where I'll be this August! (in Tokyo, translating patch notes... /cry) Fernehalwes

Oh. Man. Totally worth missing out on the pie. Her cupcakes are to die for <3 Welcome!

Hey again! Freelancing could work quite well to help you decide, but a number of those shells don't require you to have only one linkpearl. You could see if you can get pearls from multiple?

Hello~ Why don't you give each of the characters a try in a little RP session or two and see which you enjoy playing the most? Also no reason you can't have some alts, like you mentioned, you may want to go that route. Either way, welome to the RPC

He sounds absolutely adorable~! Welcome to the RPC! I hope we can bring back that MMO love you're missing See you in game soon !

I should hope, in the spirit of fostering RP fun for everyone, regardless of server, that other hubs might consider linking to our website as well. Wait, what's our beef with behemoth? How is server beef even a thing? I was actually just getting at the first part of the paragraph, that all servers are welcome and referred to as valid places to RP here. Edited!

Last time the game was released (lawl) Besaid(oldBalmung), the original server we picked, DID fill up, BUT! It only took a few days for it to open again after only 2 days. Server settling is a thing that just happens, you know? IF Balmung does fill up, I wouldn't think it would take to long to open again. I was definitely locked out for a couple days back then, myself, but it was worth the wait to dink around on another server and join Besaid later Also, this:

Sounds fun :>
