I understand how it feels to join an older community and feel discouraged about "fitting in". Indeed, I have often tried to jump into mmo's at launch "just to be sure" I'd have a chance.I have learned since then that a community's age and history has nothing to do with how easy it is to fit in.
The only two real factors are:
1- How willing one is to put effort into finding/making their place in the community.
2- How willing the community is to welcome new members.
As far as the RPC goes, I believe 2 isn't a problem at all.
That leaves 1 for individuals to figure out.
As far as I'm concerned, I might have been around in FF XIV's firxt incarnation Beta, it's been so long since I played, only a handful of old timers have any idea who the hell I am so I kinda feel like I'll have a lot of work to do to fit in too!
But yeah... not worried.
