Great, hope to see you! The early event time was to try and make it easier for international timezones, who often don't get thought of when events are planned :c I'm in the UK and usually miss so many events so this sort of consideration is really, really appreciated - thank you:) Love the sound of this so I'll go out of my way to sidle into the stalls on Sunday to see what's going on if that's ok?

There's a saying that goes something like if one wants to be taken seriously one must first learn to laugh at oneself. If another character doesn't take your lalafell seriously that says a lot about them whether it's IC or OOC. My lalafell would always use this underestimation to his advantage in any case. And in a fight being underestimated is a decided advantage^^

I feel sad - nothing in my mailbox yet *sob* Soooo, IC Vespino likes to travel and is keen to write about the sights and sounds he's been seeing on his travels. So if anyone wants to exchange mails on this basis feel free to send me a pm via this site and I'll send a friend request in-game (Balmung). There! Done!

Option 1 fits the bill from my perspective - D'Artagnan lives again! Though I'm a huge fan of lalafell so that little chap would be good too.

Eh, can't argue with most of those. Assassin? Mortician? >.> These do not go well with the others. But I clearly missed my calling. 'Slacker' is a valid career option? Damn, time for a career change!

Vespino Pino - Lalafell (Dunesfolk) What's to lose?

I'm also relatively new to this community but it is one of the most cohesive, welcoming and inclusive RP communities I've come across and that must be in part down to those who set it up and ensure that it remains vibrant. So kudos to you and I wish you well and hope you find a worthy replacement.

The BBC were quoting The Red Cross in an interview with The Guardian - these were not the opinions of the BBC. How dare any news organisation report something that people don't want to hear. Tsk, tsk But from a serious perspective this article refers to realistic conflict and it makes absolute sense that people, especially young impressionable people are made to realise that actions in the real world have consequences. Seriously, including this sort of responsible realism isn't going to spoil anyone's fun.

Character Name: Vespino Pino Character Gender: Male Dunesfolk or Plainsfolk: Dunesfolk Time Zone: GMT What Rp are you seeking? Any - but no dramas http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vespino_Pino Additional - I'm on the Balmung server currently

I think you did a really brilliant job guys - well done. I'm glad I rolled an alt for the event and I'll definitely attend future events if I may. Was a great feeling there and the event actually somehow breathed life into Gridania actually making it feel like a bustling hub.

Hettipot Peppipo will be there in the crowd to watch:)

This sounds awesome - if it's possible I think I'll roll a character on Gilgamesh just to be able to attend.

Count me in - happy to contribute in any way is most useful:)

Well if we're both around at some stage over the weekend please feel free to send me a friend request and we'll take it from there:)

I'd be happy to to come up with a storyline with you. However, like in all these things equally as important as RP preferences is your time zone - I'm in the EU. Quite a lot of people I'd like to RP with come online when I'm off to bed>.

Feel free to send Vespino a tell if you fancy chatting to a Lalafell apothecary sometime:)

I've not had much luck finding anyone to RP with so far either so I'll look out for you the next time I log in.

IC my character concentrates on alchemy, carpentry and fishing because those are what Vespino is interested in. OOC I dabble in all the DoL/DoH crafts because like you I really enjoy crafting.

So just another DPS needed - I'm glad I posted now. I'll look out for Xaria Xin too then! May well take you up on that^^

I certainly will - I'll send you a friend invite next time we're both online:)

I really don't agree with this at all, especially if you're into crafting! Yes, you do need to do the dungeons once to get through the story, but that's really a piece of cake with a nice group that'll help you though. Our group would be happy to take you along in a lighthearted, slow-played, and IC manner for the entire way! Once you do the story, there's plenty of content besides dungeons including FATEs, a ton of sidequests, crafting, housing, the up-and-coming Golden Saucer—and, of course, role-playing! There's absolutely no reason you need to run dungeons to get the very, very best gear if that's not what you're into. You can still get very respectable stuff entirely via crafting, which it itself a ton of fun. In short, I think you'll be just fine so long as you find a friendly group to help you though! Don't give up until you've given it a fair shot! Could I take you up on your kind offer to take me through sometime? I'm levelling CNJ because I actually prefer healing in a party and I figure if I macro everything I can (I'm playing on a PS3 so I'm taking no chances!) and remember the cardinal rules to keep the tank alive, not to draw aggro and keep an eye on everyone's HP even I can't muck it up:P I'm playing on GMT time but can make myself available whenever suits you guys. @Vinrael - glad I'm not the only wuss:P

Many thanks for the encouragement guys - I guess I should'nt base my reluctance to do the dungeons on a few bad experiences in games like WoW. I already know there is a hell of a lot I like about the game so maybe I'll give those first three a shot and see where I go from there. Thanks all for alaying some of my fears:)

It's like this. I hate dungeons - I find them a stressful experience which in the past have ended up giving me a headache. Dungeons with strangers are even worse, particularly if those strangers are rude idiots. In the past this hasn't been an issue; I've just stayed away from dungeons. Yet now I find that it seems you cannot progress the main story without doing 3 dungeons! Worse still you can't get even something basic like storage and the ability to sell, ie via a retainer, until you've progressed the story. Now I appreciate to most of you the dungeoneering experience is one of the things you enjoy most and you probably find my distress a little odd to say the least but there it is. Is there any way around the problem or should I just pack up my virtual bags now and be on my way?

I don't mind the high price - nothing worth having ever came easy. Excited about the possibility of chocobo farming but if you can also farm and/or garden I'll be over the moon.

I'm possibly the only one but I really enjoyed playing a beastmaster in FFXI so I'd like to se something like that at some stage.
