Disglair

I appreciate the insight! It's the sort of thing I'd like to base my decision on, and the reassurance that people can (and do!) hop around freely is something I was hoping was the case. Based on what you've said and what I've read, I'll likely transfer to Mateus - if only to save myself the pains of competing for a home.

Hello again! I had a question pertaining to community and especially that of the roleplaying variety. I've considered transferring and, naturally, my sights are set on the storied Balmung, or the more approachable yet still esteemed Mateus. Truth be told, the restriction into Balmung is a deterrent for me even though I'd be paying for a transfer no matter what I do. It would make it difficult for friends to join me and if I wanted a new character, I assume I'd need to pay for the privilege of being with the rest of my herd. Of course the allure of such an exclusive and rich community is hard to bypass, but I digress. Is Mateus a server that's worth transferring to in 2020? Do you think there are major drawbacks to being on either sever? I'm sure there's a million threads on this exact topic, but I thought I might ask in the light of the new year.

Thank you so much for the welcome! I'll be quite honest, I didn't anticipate I'd ever return, but I'm glad I did tread beyond my inhibitions -- it's a beautiful game with such rich lore and the community has been uniquely approachable.

Good morning, afternoon, evening! I've never been particularly good at, or fond of, writing introductions but here I am nevertheless! Once upon a time, when the servers still smelled like fresh plastic and logging in took literally days, I wandered blindly around Eorzea at a menacing 6fps on what I considered to be a good day. I didn't stay overlong to enjoy the small pleasures of this fantastical place, and I do recall one of the last things I witnessed being a parade of male miqo'te in their newly released beachwear, endearingly referred to as 'bannana hammocks' by some of the more eccentric locals. I left shortly thereafter, coincidentally. At the time, I played on Balmung but upon my return I've chosen to make my home amongst the humble folk of Twintania. That may change hereafter, but for now, it is where my closest allies reside and so it is where I shall remain. It's a pleasure to meet all of you. On a more light-hearted note, the name on my profile proclaims me as Disglair, and I play the aloof Disglair Wynter! I couldn't help but write something in her tone. I'm basically new to all this, seeing as I've not played since launch and even then it was a rather brief affair. It's lovely to see you all! I've read through a few of the numerous profiles on the wiki, and it's inspiring to see such creativity here!

I think I'll start roleplaying from the start, honestly. The level system in this game isn't as cut and dry as previous games that I've roleplayed in so it's sorta new territory for me in this regard. I'll probably chase armor sets more than anything. I can see myself roleplaying in lowbie clothes for a while though. They look great and they fit my character!

Phae'ra's is done! Woohoo! As always, if you'd like changes just let me know. http://i.imgur.com/fmtSaZ8.png[/img] http://i.imgur.com/76Ap227.png[/img]

Hey guys! I'm temporarily closing up shop after I finish the current batch on the waiting list. I've got errands to run this afternoon and then after that, it's FFXIV night! I'll be getting ready for the launch like the rest of you. For those of you who didn't get to request one yet because of a lack of screenshots, fear not! I'll reopen probably next week sometime after the initial OMGOMGOMG has faded, heh. Thanks again to everyone who gave me something to do for the past couple of days!

Well. I know very little about these sorts of names but I'll give you my honest opinion as a random passerby in the game! I really like how it rolls off the tongue. Most Roegadyn names I see are mouthfuls and difficult to pronounce (maybe that's the norm?) but yours feels like a real name. It flows very well and the meaning is ridiculously neat. Big Meat! 10/10! This definitely isn't a pity vote or anything like that. I legitimately think there's zero wrong with the name. For my name...I just switched my character's name around recently and am interested in hearing what other people think. Evelaide Abenliedt! Highlander Hyur female. The last name is a mixture of German words that have been squished around. It was originally Eve Nightingale which...just didn't work for me. Her last name is meant to be a given name, not necessarily a family name. I found the word "Abend" for evening and then "Lied" for song/hymn/tune and the rest is history! So, tear away..

Oh my god. That is frikkin' hilarious. I'm going to go ahead and validate my using "hotter than a jalapeno's coochie" now.

Thank you! I really appreciate all the kind words from everyone. It makes me feel squishy inside. *Munches on burnt cookies*

Super glad you enjoy it, Alexis! Annnnd here's Corvikt's! Non-screenshot signatures are always somewhat of a challenge for me since I like for things to flow and artist styles differ so much! Anywho, as always if you want changes ust let me know! http://i.imgur.com/i1TcyxC.png[/img]

Aw thanks guys! That's very kind of you. I hate leaving people out because they're like me and always forget to take screenshots of their characters during betas. I'll definitely reopen it for you! Just as a tip/reminder: Character Creator screenshots work fabulously! Even if the lighting is wonky or imperfect in some way, I can work with it and try to make it do right. Otherwise, I think benchmark screenshots are perfectly acceptable!

I have no problems with it! I'd suggest making sure that it's okay with the original artist, since I'm essentially taking their artwork and chopping it up into something else. I think most people are fine with that, given the nature of the subject and whatnot but being courteous is never a bad thing.

I'll do any changes you want me to. I keep the .psd files on hand just for that reason! Either post them here or send me a PM with what you want changed and I'll fix 'er up! ^^

Glad that everyone's enjoying them! I'll keep this open until late Friday night. Once I get over my initial EEEEE of the game being out, I might reopen it! Also... *Dives into her pile of gratitude cookies!*
