I just came to FF14 from SWTOR. I RPed there for over two years, but drama and egos finally sent me looking for a new game. I ended up here and so far I feel totally overwhelmed, with no idea where to start looking for RP!Â
I haven't done much work fleshing out my character yet; a lot of it comes to light for me through RP. Her name is Jaya Alasho and she is a Keeper Miqo'te and a lancer. I'm only level 11 so far.Â

I'm looking for people who want to do long-term RP together, and right now what I'd like is a few partners rather than a big group, because I'm new and just sussing out the game and RP in general. Plus, I think that small one-on-one situations can be better for storytelling. So I'm looking for people who might have a place in their character's story for a feisty Miqo'te girl!Â

I'm also willing to roll up characters for stories that people have in progress. Being a girly girl, I do like my romance storylines~ So if you want to do that I'll definitely be down. Hit me up here or in game...I'd love to hear from someone!

Welcome to FFXIV, the RPC, and Balmung in specific! I have two characters on Balmung, both involved in ongoing RP. It sounds like you'd be a fit with Nykkus though - she likes the feisty physical types to have around. Either way feel free to look me up anytime for general questions or RP in general.

Welcome, it's nice to meet you! Big Grin

Â I'm always happy to RP, so feel free to say hello if you see me around!

Welcome to the RPC!

I too came from SWTOR because of similar reasons after being there for about a year and a half. In my opinion, this community is sooooo much nicer. If you're looking for a smaller group to join up with feel free to take a look at Equilibrium FC either on the RPC here or you can check out or Enjin.

If you just need to say hey you can probably catch me in game. Just search for Evelyn Strider.

And again ALLLL the welcomes!

Greetings and welcome to the RPC Meenah,

I hope you've had the chance to poke around a bit. While I didn't spend much time in SWTOR, I can't think of a comparable community thats as centralized. Though that could have been my own lack of investment and I was involved fairly early.. but any~who~! I have a few links for you that will hopefully be of some use. As Faye said, if you have any questions feel free to ask! Please make sure to take your time if you do feel a bit hesitant, twelve knows I took an age to wade into the deep end.

Is a good starting off post to read through. A fairly generic "Welcome" it outlines a few of the features here at the RPC, the wiki, the Lantern, the linkshell hall, as well as listing a few of the support staff at the bottom of the post.

If you'd like to brush up on some RP, or read about some Hydaelyn specific scenarios there are few better guides out there than this roleplaying handbook from EVA

It is quite comprehensive, and while you might be familiar with a lot of the concepts put forward I think an effort has been made to lay things out as clearly and openly as possible providing information for people to work with, instead of picking something people "should" be doing.

As far as communities.. I very much understand the desire to find a core group of people to interact with, particularly as you bounce ideas off of and really "grow" your knowledge and character. How ever I think there is some merit in looking into a few of the larger communities, not that you have to dive right in, but i'll go into that-

"Intermission" is a good place to get an idea of who might be where and what they might be up to. Given a bit of initiative i'm sure you'd be more than able to find people to strike up conversation with here about all manner of things from what dyes look flattering on the face mask plate helms [I favor kobold brown] to pretty much anything... Or you can lurk silently, as many do and just keep it as a sort of "RSS" feed of goings on.

"Balmungs Finest" is a PVE oriented group, if you like to do dungeons, or even if you only want to do them when you need to, this is a handy group. BF focuses on getting people of Balmung together before resorting to PUGs, you'll find lots of different players here, some like me are farming a dungeon for exp or gear and will do a few runs. Others want a top tier healer for some Coil.

I hope that helps give you an idea of whats out there. As always, feel free to jump into the forums and get to know people, maybe throw up a wiki page with some ideas. Drop me a line if you have any questions and all that,

Good luck in Eorzea! Cactuar

Welcome to Balmung and the RPC! Olo seems to have taken care of all the helpful links like he usually does, so really I guess I just have to say if you ever see me in game I'd be happy to RP with you and offer any advice or tips that I've picked up should you want them or need them. I'm not sure I can offer a steady arc but I do have a small close knit group that I RP with quite regularly and we're always happy to have another person thrown into the fray!

Zhauric · **02-03-2014, 06:21 PM**

Greetings and welcome aboard. It's probably about time I got involved in some RP myself. Been spending all the time on figuring out what class I want to put most of my attention on and figuring the personality. So now that I stopped being so indecisive I'm ready to roll as well. If you end up needing something to get engaged in I am always available as such as Zhauric Bloodsworn.

She's a Moon-keeper lancer who is feisty?

If you want to RP with a character -just- like yours, look me up Laugh

Welcome to the site!

Just an FYI, I moved this thread from the directory over to the Welcome Desk so it'd be easier for people to find. When you feel more comfortable, please feel free to post in the directory a thread following the template so it's easily searched.

And hey, if you want to meet a hyperactive and generally excitable ball of magical power, feel free to look me up in game. Smile

New and overwhelmed!
