Hello, hello.
Been playing for a couple days now, wanting to get a class to level 20 for my personal 'RP-able Threshold' comfort zone. Dunno why I do it, just makes me feel comfortable again.
Now I'm eager to try and get myself into the RP Community for FFXIV, obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be here!
But I have a couple of hangups still.
I think I'm having a lot of trouble picking up on Lore for this game, the usual stuff really, like race mannerisms, common terms used in conversation, that sort of stuff. I've already read up that chilling in the Quicksand is a good way to get a feel for things, just I suppose I should just sit back and find a well written wiki on everything, huh?
My other big hangup really, is that while I can chat for hours on end OOC, when I try to slip In Character I lock up in 'meeting new people' situations. Which for this game would include just about everyone.
So kind of curious how anyone else who might have that problem sort of.. deals with it? I'm not sure how to word it, how to get around just nervousnessly locking up and just not being able to get involved.
Other than that, I do hope to make some friends and get myself involved in this Community, see you all around in game.
...
Oh right, my Main is a Miqo'te named Technic Foxtale, which I'm pretty sure doesn't follow any of the normal naming mechanics so I hope no one jumps down my throat about that.
