Rinh Hallani

Loving your new character concept. Welcome aboard!

Hello and welcome from the UK! Certainly not strictly American; Europa is an LFRP linkshell for EU players with a large membership and The Travellers Guild is an RP free company with mostly EU players, hosting RP events at times friendly to us. We'd love to have you! If you're purely interested in PVE/PVP, there's also an EU raiding free company - check out Eorzean Union.

Welcome aboard! I'm not sure if the viking thing was a joke, but if not, you might want to join the EU players in Europa.

Oh god, I'm gonna be up so late...But I'll try my best to be there. ^^

Ehh I don't think making a /sleep emote is going to cause ERP to explode in the game. Personally, I've been involved in some RP with someone who was injured and having the injured person lie down would've been nice... That's why I'd appreciate the feature.

Yar, I'd pay too!

Don't know what time zone you're in but Europa is for EU time zones. We're big, chatty and we have plenty of events.

Seems like you'll be busy haha, but if you got time, I'd love it if you could draw Rinh. :3

Apparently I'm incapable of stopping myself from creating alts so I made a lovely femroe bard named Dancing Hawk.

Argh, I want to bring my bard, Dancing Hawk, but 8.30 EST is 1.30 am where I am! I could possibly come and get a few screenshots but I'd have to log off straight after.

Welcome aboard and hope you enjoy your stay!

More character customisation options, from faces to hair and everything in between. Barber shop. Name changes, paid or free. TRANSMOGGING gear! A /sleep emote particularly but more emotes in general. Ability to preview armour on your character. Dye options more like GW2 so you can dye each area of the armour separately, e.g. black on the trimming, red on the main, or whatever. Ability to dye more (most? all?) armour sets. Right-click, report for spamming, insta-blacklist button on chat.

Looks great, Nebbs. Come on folks, don't be shy!

Huh, I thought there would be a slightly higher percentage of us women playing. Not as many Europeans as I thought either! Oh well, interesting results.

Rinh faces Garuda.

Rinh is a black mamba snake. Solitary and secretive, they will attack viciously and even without provocation. "It can show an incredible amount of tenacity, fearlessness, and aggression when cornered." http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Dendroaspis_polylepis_by_Bill_Love.jpg/425px-Dendroaspis_polylepis_by_Bill_Love.jpg[/img] T'yareth is an airedale terrier. Active, strong, heroic and compactly built, they are loyal friends. "To his master he is an adoring pal. To marauders he is a destructive lightning bolt." http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Airedale.jpg/800px-Airedale.jpg[/img]

For me? Personally? If I don't like a character, I have to reroll. There's no question about it; I have to. Rinh originally looked different, with a different surname, but it got under my skin and I started over despite having most of my friends levelling way past me in the open beta. Same with alts. If I'm not feeling it, nope, they're gone. T'yareth is the only one to stick around after 4 or 5 alts and even she's been made over with fantasia. So if you're not happy and it really gets to you, just start over. Level 50 isn't that far away.

I know OP is on Gilgamesh but I just thought I'd point out for any Balmung players that Europa is not just for Europeans. Our evening/prime time would be US players' day time, and we already have quite a few Americans in our ranks, so please feel free to contact me if you'd like to join us.

Clarifying a few things here: After some discussion, it's become clear that many, if not most, people want to socialise and have an EU community of sorts. We've therefore decided that chat is fine but do move private conversations to party or whispers. We've removed a handful of infrequently played alts and inactive mains to make room for new people. If you log on and notice you're no longer in the linkshell, contact one of the leaders (names in the listing) and we can invite you to the overflow linkshell. At the moment, the overflow linkshell is quieter than the main one. If you prefer less chat but still want the LFRP/LFG then simply ask a leader and we'll move you there. On a side note, I'd like to mention how happy we are with the response to Europa. We never thought it would grow this big and were pleasantly surprised to see so many EU RPers on Balmung. I hope you're all enjoying your time with us and please don't hesitate to get in touch with any comments or concerns.

The blacklist one, oh thank god, I needed that.

No, I was just reading through the whole thread and happened to come after your post! Actually I hadn't even seen yours until after I posted mine. ^^

No, I'm surprised by this as well. I never saw it in WoW, but I was in raiding guilds and we all just did it ourselves so, guess I was a bit sheltered in that respect. I'm not sure how I feel about the concept of selling runs itself but certainly purposefully wiping so you can sell a successful run afterwards is pretty dodgy.

I strongly disagree with those who say being outgoing, friendly, talkative to strangers or whatever is 'abnormal'. Maybe you wouldn't personally behave that way but it doesn't mean almost everyone else is the same. As an example, I tend to keep to myself but my three sisters will strike up conversations with strangers wherever they go. If you don't want to RP openly with other people, well, fine. Just don't assume everyone else is like you and claim it's unrealistic or strange to be gregarious.

Yep, I've done that too. I whispered one and said, "Do you want to join us?" and he said no, he was trying to get a rise out of someone whilst he killed time queuing in the DF. I said nobody was angry and we were actually laughing amongst ourselves so he bowed to us and ran off. But honestly I've encountered very, very few trolls so I don't see it as a problem.

Me too. A voice like that shouldn't be wasted! Edit: Finally got to the end of the thread and people saying he was wooden and/or overused haha. Well, I've only heard him say a few lines, as mentioned by Liadan, so I can't really comment. I just love his voice.
