  1. Yay~ More Dravanian Miqo'te. I made a Seeker clan that lives in the Sea of Clouds. They could be neighbors <3 http://aegir-ffxiv.tumblr.com/search/miqo%27te
  2. You probably get the side eye if you get a little TOO into researching primals and summoning too.
  3. I didn't know Balmung's population is what's been causing the aether data center crashes.
  4. What does "the RP community has grown too large to sustain itself in a healthy manner" mean? Is there something wrong with too much RP happening on one server?

  6. I have a group that sells Magitek. They're a little.... sketchy... but they might have what you're looking for. Message me in game~ Aegir Hlerson.
  7. I love dungeon RP. I just wish we could enter in bigger groups. I've done both ARR dungeons, where you can unsynch it and just clear everything in 3-5 mins, then RP at leisure, and HW dungeons where you have to actually worry about pulls. I've done a raid RP (Void Ark) where we used linkshell chat to banter while playing as normal. People are really down on dungeon RPs, huh? We did a 60 Dungeon raid and posted screenshots in our discord channel and this one guy came out of NOWHERE to go: "Just so you know I would NEVER do a dungeon RP. 90 mins isn't enough time. That isn't good enough for me. :x" When we do ARR dungeons, we unsynch them and clear the area we're going to RP in. Depending on the plot, the clears might be IC or we might just massacre everything then start our scene. I've done a few where the whole purpose was to RP a fight scene with a particular boss fight, so we'll just clear until that point then start RPing. It's really atmospheric. And when we run out of time, we just pause, re-enter and clear again. Back to the moody guy in my second paragraph. I pointed out that if we run out of time, we can just re-enter. And that seemed to piss them off more. Because I guess it takes too much time? I don't see how it's any different than taking a break because someone needs to afk for dinner or to answer the phone or something. In HW dungeons, you can't unsynch them yet and you have to make sure your party can handle the mobs - so like no all bard party. That's kind of shitty, but if you can work around it, it's pretty fun. Again, you can always re-enter. Most RP events I see on the calendar are slotted for 2-3 hours. A dungeon is 90 mins? The way I see it, two dungeon runs = the time of a normal RP event. For trials,you can set up dialogue macros that your character will probably use in their banter. I was surprised when I started that we use this game as more of a backdrop for text-based RPs with long paragraphs and little movement. I like to have my character gesture, move around. I like the visual medium. Dungeon RPs really let you focus on that rather than what's basically a forum RP inside a game box. But after playing on Balmung, I've come to like long paragraph RPs too <3
  8. I use the crayon brush~! The crayon brush in MSpaint really makes the colors spread across easier. I usually draw an outline with a blue color then I just color over everything with the crayon tool. You have to draw the background first, because MSpaint doesn't use layers. Even so, I think you can make some really detailed stuff if you try. Here's a serious picture of Halone I'm working on: [align=center][/align] =D...
  9. You need an outgoing wingman to help keep your character in the plot. Me and my roommate almost always RP together and we tend to trade off on how edgy our characters are. If I'm alone and being antisocial, I feel pretty awkward. But I can go for hours with a wingman, because I still feel like I'm a part of what's going on and I know he'll acknowledge me when I finally do speak up. If your wingman acknowledged your anti-social char, other peoples chars are inclined to do so too.
  10. "Day 260... Conditions inside the structure are becoming cramped and inhospitable..."
