Cheating, or tactical reconnaissance? :thumbsup: Jk I know what you mean.

YAY! You put me on the draw list~ Let me know if you need a description or reference pictures and what-not. No rush, though!

I know how you feel. I would never be able to pull off writing a song that didn't sound corny or something. My bard is going to play a pan-pipe, and I decided to use reference songs to explain what song he might be playing at the time. For examples, check out my wiki. At the bottom there is a few youtube links of songs he plays. Maybe that would help? Maybe not, though it might help give ideas. It would be much harder to find a reference song that has lyrics, I tried to find one myself x.x so i am definitely watching this thread to see people's ideas/input

Oh yeah, OOC communication basically kills the idea. But what if someone offered your character a reading, having no contact with you OOCly or ICly before hand, and told you exactly how your character felt, or whatever else for that matter, and was right? That's when the RP would be fun and interesting. Meta-gaming and God-moding is a no no for me, as it is most people. In fact, I prefer to let things play out ICly instead of doing a lot of OOC organizing/planning unless it is for something like a guild/Free company.

In my mind, all psychics are fakes. Should be easy to fake faking it. I've actually lost friends in real life over this type of argument, so I'll just provide you with this link to an article about Cold Reading if you'd like to look behind the curtain. If you'd rather remain blissful about the mystical idea of psychics and reading the future, I don't suggest looking further. Ignorance is most definitely bliss when it comes to real world "psychic powers." Well, some believe and some don't. I'm in the middle. I think some people do have a higher perception than others though, which can greatly aid in the reading of people. It is such a small niche for role play but I think it would be really fun to do for the community.

What was amazing is what the guy on WoW did. He played a Warlock, and hanged out in a dark and gloomy zone, Duskwood. Players would have to go see him, and when they arrive they would just sit and he'd do a reading, but you didn't have to make appointments so there was no way he could research your character. As I said before, he claimed to be a psychic/fortune teller in real life as well, and he gave creepily accurate results about people's characters despite them not giving any information to him what-so-ever. I was one of those people. As I said I'm not entirely sold and all that stuff and I take it with a grain of salt, but from a story telling/role playing perspective, it was -really- cool to see/experience. I think it would be awesome to do a similar kind of thing, but I'm not psychic.. So how would I fake it? Heck I'd be willing to look at legitimate stuff psychics do to give readings if it means I'd be able to role play something unique and interesting. But hey, who knows. I don't really know what I am talking about so that's why I am here asking for ideas/opinions.

Thanks!

So I thought about this idea when I saw some cards sitting on a table in game on the ARR beta 3. How would one RP a fortune teller/seer? I mean you could do the whole cliche vague descriptions and predictions, but to -really- role play a good fortune teller, that people would enjoy coming to/paying ICly/etc. There was a person on WoW who was a fortune teller/psychic OOCly who also role played as a seer ICly and would actually give decently accurate readings/descriptions for your character. It was pretty interesting, although I take that stuff with a grain of salt and I'm not super into that whole thing but I think it would be neat to see. I'd do it myself as a side thing my character does just for fun if I knew how I could do it well enough. So.. Any ideas? Some of you are probably a lot more educated than I am with this.

I guess we should just wait a few more days to see what happens. We cant activate till the 20th anyway.

Yeah..I noticed that, but when do we get the pre-order code?

I purchased the Collector's edition Digital download from the square enix online store. I received no pre-order confirmation code or early access registration thing in my email about it. Has anyone else received these emails or codes? Or can someone explain this all to me and how it works? I'm kinda worried that I might not have received the email for some reason.

Welcome! So many new faces these last few days! http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=3371&pid=42189#pid42189 Here is a link to a collection of guides/useful sites that I have set up for new arrivals. It should help you with character development and hopefully answer any questions you might have! Enjoy!

I used to be a heavy Role Player/PvPer on WoW, and did a fair bit of arenas. So you are not alone. A few friends of mine will dabble in PvP of some kind as well. Although I don't imagine the competition will be what it was on WoW. In fact. I -pray- that the competition doesn't turn into what it was on WoW. -shivers-

Hello! http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=3371&pid=42189#pid42189 Here is a thread link to my guide on useful threads/links that you might find helpful! Some niffty stuff on character development in there, so take a look! If you need anything, let us know.

Looks interesting! Nice job. :thumbsup:

o_o.... I totally didn't realize I did that. :blush:

I'm with this guy! I've known Blaze here for like seven years, since we met in role play on WoW. Bounced around similar games and now we've come to haunt the RPC and Ezorea. So you all will have to put up with us :thumbsup: And I, too, am glad to be a part of the community and look forward to contributing as much as I can!

Welcome, ShadowRyuu! Looking forward to seeing you around the forums and community, as well as in Ezorea. Here is a guide I put together that might help with navigating around in your search for useful things. It contains a nice amount of information about character development, lore and other various topics. Enjoy!

Similar to WC3.. Except without the luxury of the OOC chat option. You'd use "/*/-/to do emotes/talk/ect.. Build your little base or home or what-not and go at it. It took an imagination, that's for sure. People would customize the maps and such and rename different unites. For example, the Zealot in one map was renamed "Swordsman". I wanted to link you this guide I recently put together as well. I think it might help you out with your character development and such. The guide itself is more of a..Guide to guides. So anything you need should(hopefully, anyway!) be able to be found there. http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=3371

Accidentally double posted.. Somehow. :Blush:

^ My life. What's worse is that my mom's side of the family is all artists. Mostly oil paintings. Q.Q For some reason I can't build up the ambition to try drawing. I never like annnyyyytthhinnnngg I draw. :frustrated: My face: :surprise: Koren is a babe. Just saying. You should totally draw Felix

>_> You should totally do one of Felix for me. <_<.. I can give some descriptions if that would be possible. I dunno if you are taking names for drawings ;O

Welcome~ I'm not new to role play.. I've been role playing since Star Craft I. Buuuuttt.. I am new to FFXIV! Never played 1.0, not even the betas, and I only joined the RPC last month. So you aren't alone on that one! Looking forward to running into you in some RP! I always like meeting new people, and their characters!

Every time I see your name, Alothia, I will forever think "peanut butter pickles". It is branded into my mind. Congratulations.

If you go to the website, highlight/select the table on that website (It will only highlight/select the words in the table but dont worry thats fine) and then paste it into your word software it should come up with the table for you.
