Aww... that's a shame. I'm in the meeting spot right now with a character named Rico Rothburg and I was hoping to meet more of you.

I'm Virgil Manentyv on Balmung. Feel free to drop me a line or something when the server comes back up!

Neither can I. I'll monitor the twitter stream for updates. In the meantime, I'd say it's time for some lunch. https://twitter.com/FF_XIV_EN

I found a solution to the lobby error and managed to get into Balmung! http://pastebin.com/jzj6FYgq

Same here. I get Error 2002, something about losing connection with the lobby server.

Hello everyone. I recently posted some poetry to the Lantern and will continue to do so. But I thought I would post a thread here to both get feedback and perhaps some requests for certain pieces. This is a piece I wrote, originally as a tribute to Limsa Lominsa, but have since expanded it to the entirety of the sea.

I've made my contribution, for now. I hope to see more contributions as time goes on!

Wanted to clarify real quick that you cannot cross-class Job abilities. Only very specific class abilities. Job abilities are Job specific. Most cross-classable abilities are utility abilities as well. Like buffs and heals and such. But not every class ability can be cross-classed and absolutely no Job abilities can be cross-classed. Aww... well that's most unfortunate. Ah well, I'm sure I can work something out.

I've used Spotify to find a lot of the music that I'm into now. Here's a sampler of the stuff I've really gotten into:

Not to mention that Disciples of War classes seldom even use MP, so Cure spells would be absolutely crucial AND cost-efficient ways to heal.

There was a video in the last Letter From the Producer where Arcanist, Scholar, and Summoner were showcased. I love the idea of the AoE traps of the Summoner (an area where enemies suffer a debilitating effect) and the AoE boons of the Scholar (an area where allies heal damage over time while in the area). I am very excited to train up Summoner to get some of these AoE traps so that I can use them for my Scholar!

Really the position, like any position at XI:7, is whatever you want it to be. We'll do our best to facilitate everyone's chosen roles in storylines and events, but in the end its whatever you put into it. RP is interesting that way. Sometimes you have ideas that you try out and are like, "Well... that didn't go as planned..." And other times, "That was friggin' awesome!" So the best thing I can say is to just try it out. If you have fun with it, stick with it. If its not, try something else. I just thought you had something in mind, is all. I'd still like the position, I just want to know if there's anything you expect from me while being in the position. I'll still play it however I want, but for the most part, I need some kind of a direction.

This will likely be my first RP get-together, but I can assure you it won't be my last.

Depending on what the position would entail, I may or may not be interested in a position as a Lawyer / Administrator. I like to think of myself as being good with that sort of thing. My only concern would be in how such a position would be filled in-game. ...and the whole "gil salary" thing isn't on my radar whatsoever. I'd be perfectly content with just working for the good of the guild and "pretending" that I get paid.

I. Basic Info Characters:Virgil Manentyv Primary character:Virgil Manentyv Linkshells:None Currently Primary RP linkshell:None Currently II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Light or medium RP is usually best for me in terms of post length. In terms of plot and character development, however, I'm more on the medium/heavy side. I like to RP and I do take it very seriously, but paragraph-long post length is something I have trouble dealing with right now. 2-3 sentences is my min/max limit for elaborate emotes. Views on RP combat and injuries: RP Combat should be performed in PVP. One's own experiences and training are reflected in the gameplay and, thus, using PVP for RP sparring or actual fighting amongst players is recommended. In terms of PVE combat, it should be much the same. Realistically, folks are more focused on the battle at hand rather than actual talking and conversation, and the gameplay reflects that as it doesn't quite give time for one-liners. As for RP injuries, as long as they are not permanent and/or disfiguring, I don't mind RPing an injury. However, I will not consent to an injury that is either permanent or disfiguring without really REALLY good reason. Views on IC romance: I think IC romance is good and, as long as it is between consenting adults (regardless of race), then IC romance is perfectly fine. However, any RPs focused on romance should stick to private chat unless there's a really good reason. However, minor romance inserts like a kiss before battle or something isn't a big deal. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): I don't care, as long as all parties consent. As for my characters, their families are all lined out. Virgil is an only child of two parents and two godparents. Each parent / godparent has their own names, personalities, and backstories. Want to be a family friend? I would hugely appreciate it if I were contacted before any assumptions are made. But it's not entirely out of the question. As for friend RPs, that's fine as long as my character regards your character as his friend. He's very closed-off from the social aspects of the world despite his passions to protect Limsa from the oncoming threat. For enemy RPs, you'd have to actually be my character's enemy to qualify. And that's even harder to achieve than a friend would be. Propose something OOC, and we'll see what happens. Views on lore: Lore is everything. If it contradicts the lore without a very very good explanation, I will completely ignore its existence. If there is no basis in lore prior to its creation, then lore is amended in a way that the fan creation would then contradict the creation, I will still acknowledge the creation and will even help work on a solution to retcon the creation so it does work with the lore. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I think it goes without saying. /say for local speech (unless in a crowded area where it may be difficult to use /say), /linkshell for a respective linkshell conversation, /whisper for private RPs, /party for private group RPs, /company for Free Company RPs, etc. III. Other Info Country:United States of America Timezone:Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5:00) Contact info: If I am online, I can be contacted by one of the following methods: Skype: hakuro.de.killer Steam: HakuroDK If I am offline, I can be contacted either by one of the above methods or, for a lengthy post, I can be contacted by e-mail: hakurodekiller(at)gmail(dot)com. Other Information: I just feel that I should mention here that my character represents my personality and, in some cases, even my own aspirations. There are some parts that clash with my own viewpoints (such as violence vs. non-violence, as this is an MMORPG and such things cannot be helped. Well, that and the obvious fact that I am RPing a catboy from a land of magic and wonders.) That being said, this character is, essentially, who I am. However, that is not to say that, if I love or hate your character in-character that I reciprocate those feelings out-of-character. Not at all. In fact, a character I hate in-character may be one I love to hate out-of-character because they are so good at pressing my character's buttons. On the other hand, there may be times where I find a character, IC, that I fall in love with, and it may be that I hate to love that character because the character has less-than-admirable qualities that would matter to me IRL, but wouldn't IC. I should also mention that I am an old man at heart, but I like to think I'm intelligent, wise, and just a teensy bit clever. With this comes an extremely open mind. If you have ANY RP ideas whatsoever, please do not hesitate to contact me when you can in order to try and set something up, no matter how short or how long it may be. You want my character to be your character's sworn enemy? Let's try to make it work! His best friend? Let's try to make it work! His lover? Let's try to make it work! Planning in RP is key to its success. If we can iron out a plan beforehand, then the quality of the RP will increase substantially. It doesn't have to be a convoluted plan or anything like that and I'm not looking for a script either. Just a general idea in which we both want the plot to progress and a vague idea of how to get there. Doesn't need to be any more detailed than that unless there are technical snags to work out with lore. [align=center][glow=blue]~Special announcements can be found in the posts below~[/glow][/align]

Maybe we should start a recruitment thread for people who have important people in their stories.

I'm happy to be corrected on that point. If it is eight per world, then it seems like it would be doable to extend a helping hand to a fellow Rp'er sometime! That would be pretty nice. And I might even oblige someone else similarly. It's only good karma.

"Meeting" relatives would certainly require a LOT of imagination. Not sure how I'd do it yet, other than asking for everyone to use the power of suspension of disbelief and pretend she's there.

You know, it wouldn't be all that hard to change the genders of the parents in the story entirely to correct this misconception, having the mother be the headstrong, chivalrous thief and the father be the one who cares for the child. It'd also serve to promote headstrong women in my backstory moreso than Virgil's Roegadyn godmother. I kinda like that idea. Thanks!

HELLO! =D Aww, you flatter me so much! Thank you! HELLO! =D

Thank you very much! OOC, I didn't want to use the traditional Miqo'te naming conventions because they left very very little to the imagination due to being so strict. So I weaseled out a way to at least borrow the naming conventions of other races' cultures. Virgil could have certainly met your character in the past! Though he never really liked being around the other kids all that much and preferred to stay indoors (his dislike of the sunlight comes from his Keeper side). So unless you character liked hanging around libraries and other areas with indoor activities within Limsa, it might not be too likely. I hope to play out the future arcs a bit while also taking things slow and even participating in others' arcs while they would participate in mine. Thanks a bunch! I'll do my best to get them finished ASAP!

My character is a proverbial melting pot of cultures. He was born a Keeper Miqo'te from a Seeker mother (and a Keeper father, hence), and was raised by three different "parents": His Seeker mother, his Hyur Godfather, and his Roegadyn Godmother. He hasn't truly adopted many of the traditions of his people, but he has a great pride in Limsa Lominsa and follows its traditions.

Heya! So Xenedra suggested I start up a thread asking for character critiques in this board. So here's what I have thus far. I appreciate any critiques I get! Thank you very much! I should note that I plan on working on that "100 Questions" list as well to further flesh this out. But this is a rough idea.

24 currently, I've been roleplaying since I was 12.
