Greetings and Welcome to the RPC Hammer,
Good to hear you've had the chance to jump into the game and are enjoying it so far, it certainly is on a different level that 1.0, and even more so, pre-yoshida 1.0.
Its good to see that you've already taken a look at the Calendar and might be joining in the
http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/calendar.ph...ent&eid=56 Speed meet.
As a note there is also
http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/calendar.ph...ent&eid=55 The Coffer and Coffin event, a little more "fly by your pants" maybe you can drop in, not time requirment or duration.
Both great opportunities to get to know some of the people you might meet out in the world, or maybe connect with some one you have already seen but haven't had the chance to talk to much.
Here are a few more links that may (or may not.) help you along.

That welcome post outlines a few of tools here at the RPC, like the calendar, the wiki, the lantern (my favorite.). As well as telling you a bit about us as a whole.

This RP Handbook might seem a bit of a retread of what you might already know, but I think Eva makes a good point in outlining topics, providing examples and leaving the conclusion open to a personal interpretation.
But on to the communities! since you've been here for a week maybe you haven't had the chance to see them running about. I'll recommend two for now, unless you have something more specific in mind you're looking for.

"Intermission" Is an OOC hub for Roleplayers on Balmung, This can be used to find where people are, what they might be up to, if they're open for another participant and all that jazz.

"Balmungs Finest" Focuses on the PVE. From dungeons, to Primals 'BF' is an attempt to group people on server before relying on cross server through the duty finder. You'll find all types here doing all sorts of content, from Sastasha to Titan.
Phew, well with the deluge of formality out of the way, thats very interesting that you're studying armored combat, do they focus on a particular weapon set or does it cover a wider array of weapon types vs armor types. I'm familiar (to a certain extent) with the Blunt vs Plate, etc ideals but most of my history for medieval Europe is centered around the politics, language and arts. Mostly on the Carolingian dynasty, the Capets/Valois to a lesser extent and a few other major families. (Henry the 8ths holy water sprinkler has to be one of my favorite weapons though that was on the Tail end of the time period.)
And "Resting bitch face" that goes along with the "Stick-up-arse" face a lot of Elezens have, though many of us are jerks, so perhaps there's a correlation.
Any who, feel free to ask any question you might have, sleuth around the forums for a bit to find a conversation you might be interested in. Hope to see you in Eorzea!
