MMORPG background - Horizons, WoW
RP experience: Lots. Â AD&D 2nd Ed to 4e, WoD, ezBoards, Horizons, WoW
Character ideas/info:  Would like to try and mold the core concepts/traits of one of my old chars into Highlander who will end up going Paladin.  Will probably definitely bring in other characters as the inspiration strikes me, or the desire to play another class comes up
How did you learn about the coalition? Â googled "ffxiv role play" lol
What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? Â
Oh heavy for sure...  gotta get dat absurd immersion!
Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing?  Nah, don't worry about me
We shall get to the questions, but first I must "UGH" at your luck with just falling onto the Balmung server. I myself had to play this out like it was Black Friday Survival Camp and camp out the timers. Then again, I did choose to start playing on a weekend - not by choice, simply that was when I finished my new gaming rig.
1. If the accounts are IC, then we're all in trouble. So much foruth wall breakage. But seriously, no, it is not required. Honestly I do it simply because I remember seeing Warren Castille here on the forums and then I saw him in-game and thought it fascinating to be able to identify individuals from here so easily. Plus I have no intention of alts, so it works for me. However, you're perfectly fine doing it this way as well.
2. I'm certainly not the greatest individual when it comes to this... I know some names, let me dig up some people. Also, just playing the game is great for explaining things as they come up. I've never felt clueless. Minus flying in a light as a naked man and handing some dude a pair of glasses. But I just kind of suppress that awful detail. EDIT: Actually, Sounsyy was the name I was thinking of, and it seems she is already posting here so let the lore questions be free!
3. See now! I was in Alpha Company on SWTOR, and I did so enjoy the RP-PvP. I don't know of any group avidly seeking it myself, but we have a link at the top in a tab marked LINKSHELLS that has information on linkshells and free companies alike. Be sure to sort by Balmung and just have a browse through. The categories are regularly cleaned of the inactive free companies so if you find it, chances are it is still around.
4. Guildhest... those silly training mission things that I have yet to get past 30? No idea actually, when it comes to FCs/Guilds my knowledge is regrettably lacking.
Regardless, I hope this may have cleared up at least one question... while giving you about three more to ask. I hope to see you online, and best of luck finding the other answers!
