            Welcome Adventurers!            Â
So. You joined FFXIV looking for RP, Maybe was hoping to join Balmung but learned the server was locked down. Maybe you want a fresh start, want somewhere to go to start a new life of RP and just get a chance to be a part of a smaller community again. Maybe you're new to RP and looking to get into it.
Well, look no further.
Mateus is a low-populated server in the Aether data center, the active community housing about 2500 members (i.e. data census site) Plenty of housing open, friendly small community that is rapidly expanding, and there IS that lovely free transfer bonus...
                                    Â
Question:Â Well the sound of a new RP community is nice and all, but I have seen RP communities try this before and fail. Why should I give this a shot?
A: Well, as I tell everyone, the reason why RP communities die in other servers, is becauseÂ
there isn't enough of a community to sustain it. With Mateus, and with the growing need to construct a new RP community for players, we can utilize the urgency to establish a new community by giving RPers a designated place for new and old players alike to go to! Consider it the Plymouth Rock of servers. As long as we have the demand for RP, the more people will come to Mateus!
Question:Â But I already have my established friends/FC! What about them?!
A: There are a couple of fun things about this. Since transfers will be free come Friday, you can have your friends come with you to make this fresh start a reality, and if they don't come? you can still chat and play with them via cross-party platforming. You'll never truly lose your friends, except not being able to stare at their avatar. FCs get an especially nice bonus, considering you can keep the money for your estate and the money you used to furnish it if you transfer over. (per what square deems refundable in terms of furnishing) So bring your friends! Bring your FC! Bring your goldfish and your chocobo too!Â
Question:Â Well what about my house! My gil! I spent a good amount of time and money on those things I'll have you know!
A: As mentioned in the previous question, FC estates are reimbursed if you move. That being said, this also applies to anyone who owns an estate or apartment in the game. From what Square has stated, you will get reimbursed the full amount for both furnishings and the estate itself so you can buy another one come your transfer. As far as Mateus goes, the housing still has plots open so you shouldn't have too much of a problem getting a new plot! Large housing is the only housing not really available, but once stormblood housing is released, GO GET IT. Also, gil transfer is at 99,999,999 sooo you won't be losing ANY money for transferring!
Question: What's the MB like there? The people?
A:Â I am a new transfer over here myself, and I can tell you a good majority I have encountered here are friendly and willing to help you out if need be. I haven't seen anything that promotes negativity, everyone is nice and friendly, and YOU CAN MAKE MONEY HERE. The MB here is actually do-able for making gil, so have at it!Â
                                                  Â
So!
Still not convinced?Â
Go make an alt, see the world for yourself! I joined an LS that was made only a day ago and already has 60+ people in it for RP connects. Without you and your support, we can't make Mateus a reality. It's already gaining a ton of footing, and I can already see this dream becoming a reality.Â
So please...
Give Mateus the RP love it deserves!~
