Garalona

Yay, French Canadians! I follow a few Let's Players from Quebec as well, I hear it's a great place. It's also nice to have more people over 30 around as well. I hope you enjoy Balmung!

Welcome to Balmung!

Ah, the double life. I tried doing that but my Excalibur character is now caked in dust. I may just delete her since I don't have time for alts. I'm not saying you too will end up on Balmung full time but... it's a pretty nice server.

The thing is that the Gem of Shattoto is a very specific item. Whether or not there are other BLM soulstones is not touched upon. Depending on how you interpret the lore that we have, it's likely that there are others, because you can't have a Wizarding War without multiple Wizards, but your mileage may vary. This definitely. I think that someone theoretically could have the soul stone of a different black mage from that time. You'd prolly have to make up some stuff/lore bend a bit but it's not impossible. Unlikely. But not impossible. Make stuff up? Bend lore? Oh my gosh, that's... that's... Reasonable.

Sounds like a blast! Also I gotta remember to get in on this LS.

The way I play soul crystals is they're a deeply personal connection that strengths over time. Gara doesn't talk about hers, and if others do, well... "Hmph. Damn kids, always showin' off." That's just me.

I laughed. And welcome back!

One of the most beautiful FC sites I've seen, and also looks well run. I get a little freaked out about application interviews and stuff, but appreciate the opportunity. (BTW nice tumblr) Thanks to both, though the credit to the site design goes to our GM. I totally understand how you feel about interviews, though, no worries! I still look forward to RPing with you now that you're on Balmung.

Dark Knights are kind of the flavor of the month for obvious reasons TBH, but hey, the glut may have died down by the time you're ready to make the scene. It's kind of a split between those who admit to being one IC and those who just play mercenaries with big ass swords a la Cloud Strife.

Welcome! I hope to see you around in game!

I do! Garalona is a healer and her curmudgeonly attitude about it reflect what years of playing a healer in MMOs have done to me. IC she prefers old fashioned bandages and stitches over magic, though.

Thanks! I put in the application about an hour ago. When I log in my character is missing and Balmung isn't on the server list. Is this normal. :bouncy: Uhhh, not in probably the 12 characters I've ever had transfer. But also keep in mind, transfers have been closed off the past week or 2, so it's possible they are swamped with transfer requests right now. I'd wait awhile before getting to worried. I had forgot to change the data centre lol. I'm in BALMUNG! Anyone here have recommendations for Free Companies that are recruiting? This is exciting. I guess I might as well promote my own FC (The Coral Sea) for once. We take all kinds! http://coralsea.enjin.com

Hello!

I hear patience is a virtue.

Still kinda early, so this is me with anyone right now...

What new character were you thinking of making?

Welcome back! Er... Who do you play?

Welcome! I look forward to seeing you when you get settled in and can play!

Love the presentation. Garalona might butt heads with any or all three, or they might get along famously, but this could be fun either way. She's a chirugeon/conjurer that runs around Ul'dah a lot even thought her FC is based in Limsa. She also gambles in Gold Saucer a lot. Perhaps too much.

Welcome!

I have a crush on everybody.:blush:

Phew, thanks! I can actually make that!

I'm also a bit confused here.

Sometimes I intentionally get lore wrong IC to see how people react (Gara claiming she always thought the Fists of Rhalgr were the senseless ravings of drunks, then was mildly surprised to meet someone claiming to be of the order), and sometimes I genuinely forget because... eh, I don't really care all that much. It's not like it's holy writ that must be obeyed lest ye be struck down by the almighty hand of our lord and savior Yoshi-P, anyway. I wasted too much time and mental energy in my younger days learning the lore of Vampire: the Masquerade front, back and sideways. It's totally useless now unless I want to get drunk and talk shop with other old timers, and it makes me wish I devoted all that time studying something at least relevant to the real world. So with that in mind I don't really bother digging too deep into FFXIV lore unless it becomes relevant to my characters. Like, for instance, Roegadyn words are fun to know, but I'm not gonna be learning dragon speak any time soon.

Here's the EU directory: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=9233 I think this is all Balmung btw, we have a pretty healthy EU community and even though I'm US I've been to some of their events and can attest to them being pretty nice folks.
