Oh tell me about it lol! On top of FC and LS chats, I don't know how anyone keeps up! I guess making one of the chat logs with only say as chat would help that.. but I'll remember that, thank you

This is all great advice, thanks guys! It's daunting b/c I'm so bad at cold starts...I never know what to say lol. Probably a universal thing... I'm too used to discussing a setup beforehand, knowing what to go off of. Improv isn't my strongest suite...but I will give it a shot! I saw there's a forum for events so that's def something I'll try to take advantage of, seems like a good way to dip a toe in.

SO I have a query for the FFXIV roleplayers: I'd like to join the ranks of the RPers, I have a chara on Balmung (and many on another server that doesn't have as active a community unfortunately but there's SOME Rping there...) but I have yet to do anything with them RP wise b/c I am a longtime forum RPer and am finding the transition to real-time chat-based RP very...difficult. It's definitely not intuitive haha. So my question is, how did people that were perhaps more like me, used to long form paragraph RP in a static setting like a forum or email, start the kind of RPing that's common in the game? And what kind of RP IS common? I see many conversations walking around, is it just dialogue? Use emotes for action? Write action? I'm so eager to give it a shot but I'm stymied on how to start exactly... Although it doesn't help my female roe has a male Hyur type of name since I fantasia'd her but don't have the money to change her name lol. That might put people off... EDIT: How rude, I should also say hi, haha, this is the welcome forum. Hey! Hope to make some nice connections here
