Greetings. I'm not a new RPér, but I'm new to the FFXIV RP community. I set my old 1.0 character to transfer to Balmung, but being that she's only level 17, with a few other classes/jobs leveled up, I can understand some other people's arguments.
Many people here say that old players will be more than happy to help new players, but that's generally never the case. Sure, there are a few good souls, but if its your first time in an instance, most of the time if you do something wrong, you get, "OMG, wtf noob??" instead of helpful criticism or instruction. This worries me a little, as I've only been through the first 3 dungeons thus far on a beta char.
I can say, as someone already mentioned, but it seems like with all the old established RP characters, cliche are already formed, and it wonder if it will be hard for new players to get into the RP.
I joined in on Tera rather late, and its been near impossible for me to find RP there, because everyone has their groups already.
In any case, those are just my concerns, but I look forward to giving it a try. I hope to meet some of you in game in the future!
