Kirakira

Heeeeey, BentiiBell! Welcome BACK to FFXIV and welcome TO the RPC! We’re happy to have you here and hope to hear some more good things as they develop

Welcome to the RPC, Atomictraveler! Sounds like Axah has a lot going on and you have some great ideas in the works! I visit over that way so maybe we’ll bump into each other.

Aw, that's a shame then. It'd be nice to have a friend who could tend to our gear.. or be the one(s) that could do it.

It’s not really that big of a deal for me, personally. I just go to a mender when I’m in a city and top off when I remem..need to. Is it possible for other people to repair your gear? I feel like that could make some good/fun interactions.

Right?! I love it. It's so refreshing. I can't speak for those other games (I don't even know what some are!), but there are good RPs that can be had in WoW, sure.. but I feel like there are a ton more that can even be had here. You have a stronger will than me, lol. I kept breaking away from it to talk/party and build some relationships The side stuff can get you some neat gear, so those are the ones that I went after. I did save the post 70 side stuff (most of it, anyway) for another job.. but I'm not sure what I want to bring up after AST

Welcome to the RPC, GoGoGlasses! It’s great to see FFXIV pull in another great RPer! The community is very, very kind. I’m sure you could find some folks on here to meet up with and get into your RP groove. The game looks absolutely gorgeous, and so do we! Have you bumped into any RP while out and about these past few weeks or have you just been sucked into the story and getting through that?

Welcome back, Cadhrion! I’m sure we’re all familiar with how real life can be at times, but we are all happy to hear you made your way back It sounds like you’ve got a lot of fun stuff going on. I’ve recently made a good friend that is a musician, and have discovered a few frat/sorority type FCs that party like the world is about to end. Maybe we’ll bump into each other!

Maybe some silly advice from me here, but you should 100% play what makes you happy. i made a Lala friend the other day, and he was super fun to RP with. He wasn’t a little cutesy character, and he was really nice. We’re friends now, and if I didn’t have some real life things to attend to, I would’ve gone on a little RP adventure with him and some friends we made for more interactions. The good people are out there. Sometimes you have to wade through a little mud, but you’ll get to where you wanna be with a little persistence. It’ll be 3x as worth it, because you’ll be happier. Those who matter don’t mind what race you are.

It sure does! That way, when people are creepin' on ya, they know that you're not gonna be too bothered by them (;

Welcome to the RPC (and FFXIV)! I'm a WoWfugee too! it's still kinda there, though. if i get bored.. which is rare.. but it's less and less every time I have had some great interactions here. I had some pretty okay interactions with people in WoW, but I've had m u c h more fun here. In my experience, the RP can happen anywhere. It's not limited to major cities. I have had random encounters while out in the world, unlike in WoW where the only thing that I knew for certain is I would get mediocre (no offense to anyone!) RP in Stormwind and/or sometimes Boralus. You'll get some.. interesting.. encounters sometimes, though! If you go to the Quicksand, it could be like a visit to Goldshire with some of the population there. But that's not all that's there. There's no TRP or MRP here, but there is the Search Info bubble that you can click that'd kind of give you an idea about a person. It's definitely limited in terms of space, but you should be given good little elevator pitches! Some even have a carrd written up, which is a one page website dedicated to their character. There are wikis, Tumblrs, and I'm sure a million other things I don't know about thrown together too! I don't do combat RP so I can't speak for sure here, but I've attended a few to support some people in the little big arena one (I can't remember it's name D:) and it was stuff typed in /em with a /roll afterwards. The defender would do a /roll to see if they could block against it and follow that up with an /em and pair them together. I could be super wrong about this, so don't believe me on this! You can get great RP going as soon as you start the game! We are not all the hero(ine) that is in the story. We are all just people doing what we can to get by. Some of us are mercenaries, some are traffickers, some are smithies and so on. I almost feel like a great time to begin to roleplay here would be in the early stages, because we're all such little balls of clay in the beginning. There are people you can meet along the way that can help mold you and figure out more about what you want to do and what you don't want to do. Heck, you may even find someone to partner and do things with! And we can visit other servers that are on the same data center, too.. so you're not just stuck with folks on Mateus. You're stuck with us all that are in the same data center~ That's not to say that you won't find anything later on, though. Things do open up as you progress, like Glamours (transmog). This is my endgame content. And, erm, minions. That I don't ever use. As far as the story goes, I would say take your time with it. If you're like me and I'm sure a lot of other people, and you're just sucked into the game and you want to just keep playing, play! ARR was tough for me to get in to, but I feel like it picks up a whole lot with HW content. Do what makes you happy. You're in a great place here with a wonderful community. There are some great finds here in the RPC as well, where you can get news on events and the people behind them! Hydaelyn is your oyster and there are 998989987989 pearls to be found. The beauty of it all, I think, is that you can pick out which ones you want. So, again, welcome to FFXIV! I know we're happy you're here and a part of the RPC<3

Yay! Welcome back!

I don't see why this would be a problem. Your server doesn't set any kind of rules or restrictions on you or say what you can and can't do. I think you should write up some stories and create Wikis for your characters!

Hey everyone! I’m so sorry if I’m not even in the right forum. I’m sorry if I sound like a broken record, but I’ve been doing fortune telling RP for a couple of years now. With some help from a poster I spoke with on here foreverrrr ago, paired with researching the cards astrologians have (and learning their meanings), and topping it all off with using actual tarot cards on my end of the screen, I believe I have something pretty neat! I’d do these readings on Numumu Numu, my little Lala. Then, I had to go back to being a Miqo.. As soon as I somewhat finally started to get out of my comfort zone and warm up to RP and being social, life got in the way and it pulled me away from everything. I’ve been back for a bit, but I’ve only had a few encounters. I’m back to just people watching and reading info because I don’t know where to go or who to interact with and it’s kinda making me sad “So, Kirakira, what’s the point of this thread?” I’m glad you asked, cuz I could just talk about nothing all day! I’m kinda doing an interest check and reaching out to everyone here! New or experienced, I’m looking for some people that may be interested in having their character’s cards read and also maybe helping me get comfortable roleplaying again!

Welcome back! A lot's changed, but there are still some wonderful people in game!

Welcome to the RPC! Super happy to hear you’re having a great time! I don’t know if it’s just cuz I’m on mobile and I can’t see it, but what server are you on? I haven’t RP’d in a bit but I’d be more than happy to practice with you and help you get into it if you ever find yourself on Balmung! i hope you continue to have a good time and have a bunch of fun c:

Welcome to the RPC! Please don't be sorry for giving RP a shot! RP can be intimidating a bit (it was for me, at first!) but it's super fun. I'm happy to hear that you're delving into it! I haven't done it in a while but if you ever find yourself giving Balmung a little visit, I'd be more than happy to do some RP with you - it's been a really long time for me, so the dialogue would be just fine. Plus, we could both learn some of the emotes together lol

I’m so sad I missed this. I hope it went well~

Welcome back to FFXIV! RP events here are a fun time, all ya gotta do is look for the one that snags your interest! If it's a topic/subject/focus of what you enjoy then you should have fun, right? Maybe after that, you'll just become absolutely hooked and just be a regular at every event! I hope that you continue to fall in love with the game and have a fantastic time!

Welcome to the RPC! I'm not familiar with the other games, but I hope the RP you find here keeps that interest of yours in RP going. It sounds like you have a lot of good stuff going with this character and it makes me want some good food ._. Also, there are a ton of us that are native English speakers and we make a ton of mistakes. Don't you worry about that, and just have a great time with lots of fun~

Welcome to the RPC! Maybe now all of your attention will be split between here and all the RP you're finding on Mateus!

Welcome back! The aesthetics may have changed here, but the people are even more warm and welcoming! If Mitsuba ever gets super curious as to what direction her life is going, I do tarot readings and Remi! I just bought a new deck on my way home today and I could totally put them to good use~

Welcome to the RPC! Don’t be nervous! We don’t bite.. that hard, anyway~

I know absolutely nothing, but anytime! I just found this thread and ran with it: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/386585-Hrothgar-naming-conventions. Maybe you can find something else in here that may help! (what I quoted was on Page 3)

I had to Google it and I found this on the forms: As far as people frowning at you, let them. This is roleplaying and if you’re not being insanely overpowered and stepping on absolutely everyone’s toes, just do what you find fun that makes you happy.

Hey there, and welcome to the RPC! Congratulations on taking the first steps to getting into the RP world. These are like, the most difficult, so it's all smooth sailing from here! I played WoW off and on for a bit, swapping between this and that.. but I spend more and more time in XIV. I promise you, RP in XIV isn't super tough! If you get a group together, or heck even one person makes all the difference and can help get the ball rolling so you're more confident. In terms of like, where to find it? Well, there is Forum RP here. The community on here is super kind and warm. Rusty or not, I'm sure plenty of folks would happily hop in and RP with you. It's like riding a bike, right? There are sections for that, and even a section that has in game events. There seems to always be something happening somewhere. Inns/taverns, or even just around the ones in major cities are always bustling. You're guaranteed to bump into someone or two and make some memories. Here's the Linkshell Hall, for Linkshells! https://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/forum/203-linkshell-hall/ The Free Company Hall has Free Companies! https://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/forum/196-free-company-hall/ Here are roleplay events! https://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/forum/12-roleplay-events/ There is a Discord! Actually I think there are a couple. I bet you could find some folks on there too!
