Kestrael

I am currently bored as I wait for a flight and had a random FFXIV thought that made me giggle at inappropriate levels. As I didn't see a relevant thread I thought I would start one. Random Thought: A chocobo built for two I have seen the two person chocobo you can get through the bonding ceremonies and wondered what a Roegadyn couple would look like doubled up on such. How big would that bird have to be? And if it were two Roe males? That poor, poor bird. I just imagine it giving up the will to live. PS: I adore chocobos and many of my random thoughts involve them in some capacity.

Sweet! A fellow Floridian! I used to work at a place like that, but only as customer service, which was why I quit. I too am a Floridian! I work for The Mouse and deal with "interesting" and entitled people all day.

This chap just posted looking for a female character to work out a storyline with. Good luck!

I just made the cutest Lala. *squees*

Balmung is currently up and open currently if you are still awake.

Open at 2:50am est.

I would suggest making both just so you have an alt already in place on Blamung (if you are able to do so when the servers come back up). That is what I am doing. I get bored easily and like to play around on other races so its nice to have them already waiting instead of having to do another maintenance vigil.

It is a pain to get on but your patiences will be rewarded! Last maintenance there was a good hour or so window to create new characters after it came back up. Balmung is one of the highest population servers due to its Legacy status and its appeal to role players seems to keep it in high demand. Good luck!

Last time it came up almost an entire hour early if I recall correctly. I intend to stay up and will post when the servers are listed as back up.

Open!

Posted my support.

I was so excited when I found out there was crafting in this game. Now I am sad because it all sounds like gibberish to me. Everyone is giving such useful advice, I wondered if there is an introductory crafting guide somewhere that explains everything in detail? EDIT: Found one!

Truth. It does sound like fun! Kestrael will try to stop by, she is becoming good at crashing events!

Kestrael is a level 24 marauder at the moment and I need the tank practice. I'd be happy to help if you need someone!

Desu, you are a fount of wisdom. Kestrael needs more Ququki in her life. Sounsyy, it is a great help! Thank you so much!

Hi, everyone! I have been on Balmung for a few days and am now trying to flesh out my character's back story and needed some input. I will preface this by stating that while I have searched for information it is totally plausible that I missed a thread or page that will have answered all my queries and apologize if that is the case. I welcome any and all suggestions for further reading! My character is a Roegadyn lass of the Sea Wolf persuasion roughly in her late teens to early twenties (the easier to explain why she is unknown and relatively unskilled). She was born in Limsa Lominsa to a lower mercantile class couple with at least one known sibling. Family: My first inquiry is about familial structuring in the Roegadyn culture. How many children would an average couple have? Would their affluence directly effect this decision? Is it feasible that a family would maintain strong bonds with extended family? How important IS family to the average Roegadyn given their history as a seafaring and martial race? Would such an extensive family perhaps take a clan name for themselves to identify that they are one blood since surnames reflect the sire's personal name? Pride and Prejudice: Based on the game content I have experienced I would estimate that the Roegadyn are a proud people who still respect their roots. Are there any races or cultures that they do no not get along with stereotypically? Also, I am a little confused on the lore for how Limsa Lominsa was founded. I know that a ship or a fleet of ships ran aground in the bay and the city was built around the remains of the Galadion but was it crewed by Roegadyn? Sea Wolves? A mix of races? I am sure I will have more questions to pester your lovely brains with soon. Thanks for taking the time to read and for any and all input!

I waited for the recent maintenance down time and made my main moments before the servers were taken down then made a couple potential alts when it came back up a couple hours later. I have heard Tues-Weds between 5am-9am est are usually your best chance otherwise but I never got lucky. Keep an eye on this thread and be sure to post if you find an opening! Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Kudos to Shashato, Ququki, N'velhi and Ramona! The adventure was a lot of fun. Thanks for including me.

I'd love to come play with you guys but I'd be more of a hindrance than a help at the moment (if I could even participate due to level, probably not). One day! Have fun and good luck.

So much this. I loved talking to the party in camp and giving them gifts which sometimes lead to special cut scenes in DA:O. I like DA:I and have really enjoyed watching the evolution of Cullen but Alistair will always have my heart. I have enjoyed the multiplayer aspect though I got bored after unlocking the classes I was interested in.

Kudos to Brynhilde Wulf, Daghbheri Himalspyr, Travanaire Levesque and Kala the Miqo'te (I forgot her last name!). Many thanks to Bryn and Dagh for inviting me into their rp and being very forgiving of my random jumping and standing on chairs ( I totally didn't realize you could stand BESIDE a chair to sit and didn't have to stand on it :blush: ), to Trav for letting Kestrael follow him around like a lost puppy and Kala for being a cool cat, almost literally. I hope to get to interact with you all again soon. :love:

Hi, fellow newbie! We are in the same boat so don't feel alone.

Open at 4:15am est!

Good luck, Cylin!

That is...perfect! Thanks. I have been trying for a few days and really couldn't believe that the server seems to ALWAYS be closed! I was trying to go so fast I hope I spelled the name correctly. *blushes*
