Hi Kibu! I know what you mean - there always seems to be that extra difficulty between talking to someone on a forum and actually getting something started in game. From my interactions with my other US friends I think you're right, my mornings usually coincide with American evenings. I'll definitely keep an eye out, and send you a /tell if I see you online! :thumbsup:

Hi Raeje! I'm pretty sure I'm not you, but I can double-check. *pats self* Nope, still me. But it's good to know that I haven't been alone in my experiences :thumbsup: I can definitely agree that this community is great - and I've only been here two days! While I appreciate the heads up, I am quite adept at getting myself out of what is obviously a solicitous attempt to sign my character up for ERP. I have absolutely no problem with those who choose to do it, but it's definitely not what I'm here for. That said, I have no problems with a fade-to-black sort of thing if characters being intimate with one another serves some sort of developmental purpose rather than just, you know. Sex. I will definitely check out the linkshells and free companies once I find my bearings, so thanks! You have been a big help! If you see Mai'kou Alka around, don't hesitate to let me know it's you! -- Leggerless, that CAKE idea is amazing. So far the Quicksand has helped me road-test my clumsy miqo'te and give me an idea of what I actually want him to be like - but I do hope to start checking out bigger things, events, and finding more people to interact with. Maybe even -groups- of people! :dazed: -- I might make a thread in the town square myself, where newbies (or experienced folk!) can come and say hey, since my timezone makes me play at odd hours. Anyway, thanks for the replies, everyone! Making me feel very welcome and I love chatting to new people. 8-)

Hello fellow newbies! Thanks for the warm welcome! I got a chance to wander around Ul'dah last night and had a really good time - even made a new friend. Shivvers, you're more than welcome to send me a /tell when you get over. Us newbies gotta stick together, right? I'll shoot you a line when I can, Noxtis, and maybe we can get something interesting going. Brainstorming, like you said And yes, I agree. Transferring might be a little extra, but it's certainly better waiting around for the servers to free up - though I did hear that the best time to make a new character is right after server resets or maintenance end.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I just had a chance to log in after work and I was completely blown away by how many people were in the tavern in Ul'Dah alone. So happy to see a huge crowd, makes me look forward to joining in very, very much.

8-) Hi Everyone! 8-) I'm a relatively new player to FFXIV: A Realm Reborn. I played on release for a few months, but never got a chance to RP with anyone during that time. I've been playing MMO's for over a decade and am no stranger to both in-game and forum-based RP. I love RP. :love: I love writing, too, often filling the time between RP'ing with others by writing short stories about my characters. Until recently my focus has been almost exclusively on Star Wars: The Old Republic, but before that I've had adventures in Wildstar, World of Warcraft, Tera and a few others. I've always considered myself a solo player, but I've never enjoyed a game more than I have when I find a wonderful community to become a part of. At the moment I'm a little hazy on the lore of FFXIV, but I plan to do some heavy reading over the next few days to learn as much as I can. To that end, I plan to become heavily involved in RP'ing on Balmung (once my character transfer goes through). I play from Australia, so timezones might conflict a little, but I'm certainly gonna try my best! :thumbsup: My character's name is Mai'kou Alka, a Miqo'te Pugilist - maybe a monk later, who knows? If any new or experienced players want to get together, let me know! And if you see a lost Miqo'te wandering around, don't hesitate to say hi! Also, if anyone can give me a heads up as to popular locations (taverns and the like) where people gather, that would help me a lot!
