Right. In that case I might spend those three days getting to a decent starting level, getting to the point I can travel around a bit. Is moving from EU servers to US servers allowed? I was thinking of going there for now. From what I've gathered there aren't really a lot of RP groups outside of Balmung, but I figured I'd check up again for good measure. @Virella: My plan wasn't to make the character trans. I just wanted to be upfront since I'm questioning myself and I didn't want to look like one of those creeps that pretends to be a girl online to trick people. ;;

Thanks for the supportive responses! Sadly I, um, didn't realise getting into Balmung would actually be such a struggle. So it might be a few days before I get in. >< In terms of a starting point, I might pop in to a few of the open mic events that are on the calendar? Just to lurk and watch for a while. We'll see.

So this is sort of a scary post to write, but from what I've seen so far this seems like a safe place to talk about it. So, uh, hi there. Potential newcomer wanting to test out the waters of roleplay. I may as well come out with it - I'm a guy currently questioning my gender identity, and I was considering playing out a female character as an experiment of sorts. I don't have a huge amount planned for it, but my first idea for her was 'Miqo'te merchant, snake oil saleswoman but ultimately good at heart'. With that in mind, I have a few questions: - Is there a trans RP community around Balmung [As in a community of trans players, not necessarily players whose characters are trans]? I'd be playing around European time. - What sort of level are people expected to reach in PvE? I don't think I could play this character without many things to sell but at the same time she's not really meant to be a world-saving heroine. I'm thinking I might pick up a month's subscription and see where that takes me before I go any further, but I wanted to clear a few things up first. Sorry for being so twitchy and anxious, I'm sort of wrestling with a lot of awkward feelings rn ><
