Welcome to the RPC and FFXIV Observant. Everyone here is very nice and helpful so don't be nervous to stick your neck out. And yeah, I can sympathize. The first time I put in FFXIV during 1.0 I think my computer of the time started crying.

This sounds like a very fun and (wonderfully) convoluted idea. You would need quite a few members though, due to the multiple tiers, but overall completely worth it. I am extremely interested in how this will evolve from idea to practice and I'd love to help out if you felt you needed it; wishing you the best of luck.

Fantastic news. I honestly didn't expect something like this to be added considering how rare it is.

Welcome to the RPC Cornet! And don't worry, everyone is really nice here and there are a few fellow new guys around here (including myself).

Zaeira- wandering river I suppose it is a tentative title, but I like the sound of it and the symbolism applies to the character as of now.

Welcome to the RPC :moogle: I am new as well, and I wish you the best of luck. In regards to an idea for your Hyur I can't easily give you and ideas (since I don't know what kind of character you'd be more comfortable rp-ing as), but I can suggest sitting down and thinking about base traits you would enjoy roleplaying and then factor in more traits connected to those traits and what in said character's history could have instilled these traits into her. Or you could even do the reverse and come up with a back story and then mold your character from that. More than likely you will end up tweaking your character quite a bit and perhaps find things that seem a little iffy when it comes to meshing together logically but that is all part of the process. You have plenty of time, so just find something fun :thumbsup:

Ah, there is no need to be sorry. Your work is impressive and it shows me what I might one day be able to acheive! Thank you for the reassurances, and it was my pleasure reading your entries.

This census is quite fascinating, and I adore seeing all of these different perspectives that will come alive during actual roleplay. Great work :thumbsup:

Your style is so beautiful and the detail you use makes your art even more impressive

Oh wow! I absolutely adore your art and all of these cool scenes you've drawn. Your skill in anatomy is particularly wonderous. Specifically on this newest piece I really like their contrasting expressions and the frustration on P'axi's face is incredibly adorable :3

This post actually saved me a couple of dollars :thumbsup: Despite having bought the original CE I was planning on purchasing the new PC Collector's Edition as well as a standard PS3 edition, but now I can order just the PS3 CE. Honestly if I had the money I would have bought CEs of both versions, but I'm kind of poor.

Instead of "conducting" it per say, Bhav could always hire someone to guide him, the way scientists may host an expedition but, not having the skill or will to lead a "team", will have someone else do it for them. That way OOCly you can schedule it and maybe even plan a route, but ICly your character remains out of the lead-spot On topic: I just about flipped out of my chair in excitement when I saw that there was finally a release date, the waiting finally coming to an end. On top of exploring I am very curious about housing, minions, and all of the other little things that make this game so big.

Thank you everyone for your warm welcomes they are much appreciated. @Yahdo Thank you, this post is very reassuring. I usually try to see how other beginners fair when I try new things and I'm glad I wasn't the only one shaking in their skin. @Eva I was reading some of your handbook earlier before I signed up actually, it is very extensive and helpful (I fixed my character's name thanks to it) and I believe I will get much use out of it now and in the future. @Aysun Thanks, I actually remember seeing you around IG during 1.0 when the server was still Besaid, and I read quite a few of your lodestone entries. Honestly I was initially intimidated by how firm a grasp you seemed to have on everything haha.

Hi, I've been lurking the forums for a little while now and finally decided to join now that A Realm Reborn is so close (and yet so far...) to release. I'm a complete newb when it comes to roleplay but I'm very excited to get into it with FFXIV and it is wonderful to have such a helpful site to come to for help and advice. --MMORPG background I've been playing MMOs for about 7 years, starting off with the classic Runescape. The number of mmos I've tried is high, but the more notable ones were Mabinogi, Aion, Tera, and Guild Wars 2 (only for a short time). I first played FFXIV during 1.0 about two months after release (purchased the CE) for literally 10 minutes... My poor computer at the time was just not up to running FFXIV so I waited until I could afford something that could run it. After I finally was able to run FFXIV I played it quite a bit, left for a while, and then played awhile again up until a few weeks before it was shut down. Sadly, despite being on Besaid from the beginning I never actually got into RP due to being much too nervous to try it out. Now I've built up the courage to try, finally. --RP experience I have absolutely no in-game RP experience. In my earlier days I never saw anyone rp-ing, and then later on when/if I did see it I was too nervous to get into it and ask for help learning the ropes since everyone seemed to know what they were doing and I didn't. While having never roleplayed in-game I have roleplayed on forums many times in the past, picking it up not too long after I began to play mmos. Forum RPs seem to fizzle out faster than in-game RPs though. --Character ideas/info While I have many ideas for a variety of characters money and time constraints will keep me glued to just one main RP character for at least the first few months of ARR. I came up with a Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon who was born into a traditional tribe (nothing big, just some pulled together family members) deep within the Black Shroud and because of a burning call to adventure left to become more than just the "next healer in line". Though she may not seem very fleshed out or interesting right now I've actually been working on her for quite a bit and, while I still need to finish writing parts of her past and "perfecting" tiny details elsewhere, I am very happy with her as of now. --How did you learn about the coalition? I first heard about the coalition back during 1.0 on the lodestone since I liked to read the IC journals of the players. Luckily the Coalition site was always so big for RPers, because a couple weeks ago I was thinking about it (unable to grasp the name) and preformed a search, wanting to see what had become of the site. I was most definitely not dissapointed. --What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? I aim to become a medium role-player since I absolutely love delving into the official lore and the stories and characters players have created, but don't believe I have the energy to to be IC constantly while playing. Perhaps once I've gained more experience I may lean a bit more towards the heavy side of rp-ing, but for now I am content with a happy in-between. --Anything from real life you âre comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) Simply put I am a young person who enjoys video games, mmos, and reading. :chocobo:
