I was looking to RP but sorta level together, yes. And no, ffxiv has so far not been great for storylines with others, but I have done a little so far and it hasn't been that bad. Just like you said, you have to disband the group during cutscenes. And thanks, I have been trying to check out Siren. I havn't found anyone yet though. Hopefully soon.

Hello all! So I am new and just joined ffxiv. I have RP before, but just bought the game (installing the expansion right now actually) ANYWAY I having trouble finding others who would like to create a new RP character with me in a NA server other then Balmung or Galigmesh. I will probably transfer them in the future, however I would like to create characters worth moving over first if I ever do. I am asking if anyone else would like to join me? If so, please post on here or PM me. I will also being posting the details on the character I would like to create for this. Thanks all!

Hello there! I am new to ffxiv and am looking to RP on a server other then Balmung as it is locked right now. Please let me know if I can join the linkshell! Thanks!

This is where we get into server design speculation about how SE implemented the server closings. We know that the server closes for character creation once a certain threshold of logged-in characters are present. But we also know that the number of logged in characters to close creation is nowhere near the maximum amount of characters who can be logged in and running around on the server.

I would love to have your company on my journey! I am not looking to be Power leveled but rather someone to show me the ropes of RP. What server are you on? I would love to start a new adventure with new friends! Awesome! I like to soak it in while I level up as well. I can definitely show you the basics at least for sure. I have been trying out Siren and Jenova, so far they are both pretty equal. I will be creating a new one anyway. Just let me know when you want to start. Tonight maybe? I am in the Eastern time zone so for me right now it is 9:17am. WHat is your timezone?

Actually... I don't think they are 'crowded' but simply locked... and this is a good thing. Have you been on a regular server and started getting spam tells for gold sellers? ads in say, shout, etc? Random friend and FC invites? If not, just wait, because you will. On the locked servers? Nope. We are FREE from spam!! (Aside from the occasional person/fc) Frankly, to me that's worth $18. I can use my tells, don't have to be in /busy for some peace and quiet. I wish there was a free way to keep out the goldsellers, but alas.. there is not. THIS^^^ I started on Jenova and was getting tells from goldsellers approximately every five minutes (I actually timed it once because I was so irritated). The random friend/FC invites were a pain too. I have only gotten one tell from a goldseller since I transferred to Balmung, and that happened right after the server went down recently. So trust me, it's a good thing that Balmung is always locked. It seems that Jenova in particular is pretty bad. It used to be the server I'd roll alts before transferring them over, but the amount of goldsellers over there, it's not worth it. I, for one, will be happy if it is never unlocked. In the news thread regarding being able to add characters it says "Due to congestion..." so that is why I am lead to believe it is due to well, congestion. However, your points are valid and make sense. Maybe they are dealing with soliciting issues at the same time they have this going. Either way, I do believe in outsourcing people that hinder the game play with ads. I guess I will have to just level up in Siren until I have the money to switch to Balmung like everyone else. If there are no solicitors that makes it more worth it anyway. How bad are the quene lines though if I do switch over, and how good should my internet be to run smooth in it?

I think I am going to start a character and build as a I go to get a feel for RP. I think I am going to start on Balmung and just feel things out and if I feel like things are going well/good fit I will build a back story for my main and transfer her over from Adamantoise. What I am really looking for is a group that doesn't mind helping out a noob get her feet wet. Myst When I first joined WOW, all my friends who persuaded me to join were like all awesome to chat with and they gave me all this gear to give me a head start and that, but they were all maxed out and going on raids and that. They wanted to help me out, but they didn't want to be bored killing level 10 monsters all day. My point being, I decided to make new friends online as well that were new and my level, and we helped each other level together and progress through the quests together and were much more helpful then any seasoned player could have been. And most of them ended up becoming the core friends I played with till I stopped playing wow. So I would love to accompany you with your new character if you will have me. And hopefully, we can acquire a few others to join us on our journey's. However, I am not transferring any characters to Balmung unless by the time my character is well leveled the server isn't open still I will.

Hey there! I am new to ffxiv, but I have RP in different mmorpg's before. I agree with Swashbuckler, you need to ask yourself what your into. I created a character and starting playing just to get a feel for the game before I came up with a RP character first, and it feels like there are a lot of different way's to RP on here. In terms of starting, there seem to be 2 different takes on it, depending on how you like to do it. There is 1. Planning a character and backstory before you start to play, and 2. Going in and developing your story as you go. I personally LOVE creating a character and backstory first.

I am new to ffxiv, but I love your character! Sounds like someone really fun to RP with However, the server you joinned is not the temporary one I chose until Balmung is open again, but I hope to see you on the forums! I will be posting a character idea to for a 'seal of approval' soon as well.

Awesome! Let me know when you plan to start and your character!

Hello there! I am also new to ffxiv and want to RP on a server that is not packed as well. I was also told that Siren and Jenova had some RP players right now. I was thinking about Siren. Would love to start the journey with some nice company If you do let me accompany you and your friend, let me know. And welcome as well! :moogle:

Hello and thanks for the welcomes everyone! :love: I did know that you could pay to switch servers, but if you can pay to get into over crowded servers, that actually makes me a little mad.... ANYWAY I will do as you suggested trying to get online early morning, but for now I will probably start playing on one of the suggested servers you said. (Siren or Jenova) Post here if your a new RP to ffxiv waiting to get into one of the RP servers later on and which server your on right now. Would love more feedback. :thumbsup:

Hello all! Before I get into my welcome information, I first off wanted to talk about my main concern about joining this community, which is ever since I became interested in joining the ffxiv RP community, the main RP servers have been closed and I have not been able to join any of them. (IE. Balmung, Gilgamesh, and even Behemoth) I was hoping someone could shed some light on WHEN they open up if they ever do, and WHERE are all the new players wanting to join like me going right now? I just don't want to start on one server and then once the mains open up again I have to pay to switch servers. Now the welcome information about me... My name is Missy, in a 21 year old female Canadian gamer who casually roleplays week nights and weekends when I can. I have played WOW in the past as my main mmorpg background. I have loosely played other ones a tad, but never as committed as I was to WOW. However, I feel there is an intense movement in the mmorpg community right now, and FFXIV is IT. This game has so many reasons I want to switch over, and I have fallen in love, there is no going back for me. lolz So please let me know what you know in regards to the server predicament, and if you're in my situation what are you doing right now. Thanks! :moogle::love:
