Where in skype will this be taking place? I know Soliloquy has its own 'room', will we be making one for this event?

Weird title, I know but I think it's fitting. I'm having a problem that's growing by the day. I have an established character, Uruvion. He's a bit of a depressing Elezen WHM. I have Aki'to, a healing professor in Grinadia, and a Hyur Midlander named Vance, who I have rough ideas on right now but I like where they are going. I dont know if it's because Uruvion is a depressing character(doesn't get along well with others, especially Hyur) or what but I keep thinking of new characters and I dont want to completely clean Uruvion's slate and start over with a new personality. What do I do? Uruvion: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=1890 Here is Aki'to: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=1805 And Vance: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=2116 I only want one main character but I can't decide! I also don't know what they will look like or what class I will enjoy most. This is driving me crazy! Help!

When the dreaded king Bahamut emerged from his prison and started his relentless attack on Eorzea, fire filled the skies and soon it seemed that the world itself was ablaze with his arrival. That was true, at least as far as could be seen from the battlefield where soldiers were fighting Garlean forces. In the short amount of time it took for Bahamut to rain down fire and death upon the world, time seemed to stop. The fighting stopped as people were disintegrated, injured or killed by the dragon king’s attack. A blue haired Midlander Hyur Paladin stood, frozen, along with the Garlean soldier who he was battling as they watched the carnage around them unfold. Vance used this opportunity to shield bash the soldier in the head, knocking him backwards into the air. An echoing ‘clang’ could be heard when the shield made contact with the soldier’s helmet, which Vance found entertaining and couldn’t keep a grin from forming on his face as he watched his opponent fall to the ground. The grin didn’t last long due to a blast from a Magitek cannon landing on the ground near him and blowing him several meters away, causing him to lose his shield and some of his armor as he skid on his stomach. The force caused his body to fly across the ground before he slammed into a boulder, knocking the wind out of him. When he caught his breath, it was nothing but ash and burned like fire in his lungs. As soon as he looked up he was blinded by the light of Bahamut’s mega flare attack. He closed his eyes quickly but the damage was done. With his eyes closed, he could only see a dim blue light which appeared and disappeared in two seconds. The heat of the battlefield was replaced by the heat of the sun on his body and he could feel grass on his partially bare legs. Most of his armor had been torn off, leaving exposed skin and the black shirt and long pants that he was wearing. He still had his broadsword in his hand, but the blade was broken, almost in half. He tried to open his eyes, which began to water. He found out, painfully, that this wasn’t possible. He wasn’t sure if they would ever heal, but he reached down and tore off a piece of his shirt, wrapping it around his head to save what was left of his eyes until he could find help. He still had no idea where he was or what happened on the battlefield. Had he died? Was this the afterlife? He wasn’t sure. He started to walk slowly with weakened legs and stumbled a few times, nearly falling over. For days he wandered the land in search of help. He kept his hands reaching outwards, occasionally following a rock wall wherever it led. After three days of exhaustion and starvation, he used what little magic he had left to keep himself going for a little while longer. He would occasionally try to sing a song from his days as a bard, but the ash in his lungs from the battle burned when he would simply breathe. He heard a low growl behind him and stumbled over something on the ground. He walked a few more feet and stumbled again, this time falling to the ground. He slowly made his way to his feet, using a rock wall for support. Again, he heard the low growl but it was closer this time. Something was starting to nudge his back, causing him to nearly fall again but he caught his balance and steadied himself. He could feel a fur covered head pressing against the small of his back, trying to guide him. Vance gripped the sword handle and was ready to try and defend himself, but he didn’t sense that he was in any danger and by this point in his exhausted state, it wouldn’t do much good. He started to walk again, being guided by a beast. After nearly tripping again he felt the beast’s head move away from his back and heard it walk in front of him. As soon as he reached out his hands again, he felt the whiskers of a Coeurl. The beast was trying to help him. He took a few steps forward and ran into the body of the Coeurl, which was standing sideways in front of the Hyur. By moving its two huge whiskers in Vance’s hands, the beast guided him closer to her, lowering her body so he could mount her back. Vance climbed onto her back, keeping his hands on her whiskers and laying his head sideways against her back. She took off running with him hanging onto her and for the first time in a long time, he felt safe. She cared for him as if she were one of her wounded young.

58ms from Arkansas. Not bad.

I'll be there. I dont know if I will be RPing with Uruvion or a new character that Im working on.

I would love to have an RP coach in game. I have extensive experience with forum roleplaying but much less with RP while playing the game. I am eager to learn and, as was said, I will be passing my knowledge onto others.

The SE forum site wont load on my phone >.>

Very impressive work!

Is anyone else concerned with the fact that the legacy servers will already have the 1.0 players plus the influx of new players. What if we get lucky and balmung is designated an RP server and it gets full too quickly after launch? Make a character on another server and transfer when the option is available?

Uuvion will be a spectator in Soliloquy, when he isn't picking the lock after hours, of course.

Wait what.. so like, talent trees? What time is this discussed in the video? I think he means three action bars where abilities can be placed.

Amazing, as always Xene!

I also ordered from Se's site and got an e-mail confirmation with a product code.

Very impressive!

I'm happy that my CNA certification classes are half way over! Only 1 more week of 16 hour days for me!(8 in class, then 8 at work)

I'm playing Diablo 3 and Doom 3 BFG edition casually until FFXIV. I haven't been really hooked on an MMO since XI. I've tried many others and TERA was supposed to be my next home but... yeah. Good game but personal issues got in the way of my enjoyment of that or really dedicating myself to it. Let's go XIV! C'mon!

Show us what your character looks like..... as a PONY! (WARNING, If you resize the window the creator gets reset! Be careful!) Pony Creator Full Version Here's Uru(Duskwight Elezen WHM):

I feel the same way. I should have stuck with it for longer. I played in the 1.0 beta and into release. I put it down after a few classes to level 10 and picked it back up when it went free to play. Still not impressed, I stopped playing again and now I wish I hadn't.

Uruvion approached the child and realized that he had perished. He didn't have time to start healing the child's wounds or cast a spell of resurrection on him before he was surrounded by the robed men. He quickly started to cast Aeroga on the group of men, shielding his eyes from the wind that was surrounding him, attempting to knock them back far enough so he would have time to do something to save the child in front of him.

Very nice work!

Good stuff, Xene!

Ok, I just got off the phone with customer support and they told me that I can simply add the registration code to my existing account when the service becomes available and it should work just fine.
