Hi folks,
I'm pretty new on FFXIV. I am a - somewhat relatively - experienced RPer with more than a decade of various tabletops and MMOs behind (8 years of Eve, among others, hello Inspiracy folks if there are any here), and it's definitely RP that I enjoy the most in MMO, even though i'm certainly not closed to all the content they can offer.
I guess I am pretty much immersionist in my approach - which doesn't prevent me to share OOC channels with others RPers, quite the contrary. From experience I usually have the tendency to get more involved in things than I usually foresaw... Maybe i'm just very dedicated, we will see!
I have migrated recently on Balmung after 2 weeks in the game, and i'm currently trying to get in touch with the community, also looking at linkshells and FCs..
Of course, I am not as active as I was before - a job to tend to, etc. Speaking of RL, I play on the EU TZ, and I heard that the community is active enough that you don't really have dead times, which is a big plus?
I have also noticed very alarming latencies at intervals on Balmung compared to where I started (Hyperion). Connection is often labeled as "poor" when I connect, and I am not sure what to think of that... I only played 2 evenings on Balmung for now, and i'm a bit annoyed at that. I already faced a few instances on Hyperion where the lag was so terrible that I was barely able to do one action out of two properly... Rather crippling since I play heal.
Is it normal, or just tied to my being in Europe?Â
In any case, really glad to meet you all and looking forward to it, just the time to get accustomed a bit to everything!
