Hello! Â I'm very new to the game (just started playing last week) and was able to roll up a char on Balmung this morning, which my research told me is the unofficial RP server! Â I'm not new RP by any means though: started with AD&D 2nd ed, and have played all editions cept 5e, joined and ran a couple of RP ezBoards, even played a fair bit of WoW, currently playing a few games of PbP D&D at Myth Weavers.
There, with obligatory introduction over, I've got a couple of questionsÂ
1. Â I didn't see anything in the forum rules (written or unwritten) about your forum account being IC or not. Â I'm hoping that's not the case, as I've always had a serious case of altitis and would feel weird if I joined any RP here as my current main.
2. Â Could you share any links towards some of the world lore, both canon from SE and also generally accepted/established lore that has been created by the RP community? Â It's hard to fully flesh out my character ideas when I know so little about the world...
I'm making my way through http://ffxiv.gamepedia.com/Lore, and when I'm done it I'll look for more, but would prefer to get to the 'recommended' reading ASAP.
3. Â I love me some RP-PvP. Â It was hard to find dedicated RP-PvP guilds in WoW, and I'm suspecting it might be even harder here? Â I don't just mean FCs that RP and also do PVP, but like, FCs that exist/pursue the PvP, for their IC purpose (looks like there's an arena/fun/sport mode, so no hard feelings - but then frontlines, serving the GCs?)
4. Â Just curious here, but why do so many FCs not 'focus' on Guildhests? Â I played on another server till today and noticed that almost all of the FCs profile pages say they didn't focus on RP or PVP (understandable) but also the Guildhests. Â That confused me, couldn't understand why. Â Is there something lame/not worth it about them?
Thanks for your time! Â Looking forward to some good ol' RP with y'all!
