Oh, hellooo

[Bearry]

Hi nice to meet you all! I know there is a world visit feature coming out soon which I'm hoping to take advantage of in order to drop into Mateus or Balmung, but as of right now my character exists only on Zalera (for the 'preferred server' bonus). If the world visiting ends up proving difficult I may try to use my free world transfer to get on one of them.

 

MMORPG background:

Roughly 11 years familiar with MMORPGs and relatively new to FFXIV in that I don't have a character at lvl 70 in any job/class yet. I'm not finished with the main scenario either but I'm working on getting through only story quests right now so I can be caught up with the lore history before I start to seriously roleplay with others.

RP experience:

I've been roleplaying and writing characters for 14 years now- on forums, instant messenger, blogging websites, and in personal situations. I'm brand new to roleplaying on an MMO though despite wanting to for a few years. Finally trying to get over my anxieties about it.

Character ideas/info:

Bearry is a clan-mixed Lalafell who fits into the lifestyle description of "simple farmboy". He is generally new to Aldenard experiences as a whole at this time considering he spent the majority of his life with his father on the southern islands in the Rhotano Sea. Despite actually being born in Gridania he has only lived there for the last two years, however he's made the travel to visit a few times in the past due to his mother living in the city-state. If you want to learn more details about him I suggest clicking the wiki link in my signature but keep in mind I'm still working on writing out his history summary. He is a fairly fleshed out character in history and personality already so you could say I've got ideas going forward.

How did you learn about the coalition?

A close friend of mine showed the wikipedia/this website to me after I started sharing character ideas with him. We're gonna do some roleplaying together as well so all these resources have been a great help and inspiration.

What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be?

Probably medium to heavy, although OOC chatter is usually welcome especially if it involves roleplay or character related things! Sentences and paragraphs are both okay as I'll tend to copy whatever style my roleplay partners use, for convenience sake. As an extra note I would prefer to be as immersed as possible when not having OOC discussions, therefore I'm not likely to do anything that goes against Bearry's wishes.

 

Maybe I'll get to interact with the bigger roleplay community in the future when world visiting opens up, granted that everything goes well with population load and all.

Welcome!  Hopefully the world visit feature will go in fairly quickly.

Hey thanks I appreciate it! I sure hope it will go off without a hitch or otherwise I'll have to kiss goodbye to Zalera haha.

They said recently that the server changes aren't happening in 4.5 (January 8th) and won't be happening until, I believe, 4.55. I believe March was thrown out there for when to expect it but I don't have a source for that on hand. Pretty sure it was all in the recent Live Letter/Letter from the Producer.

 

So, uh, hopefully OP is fine with taking a few months to level before he/she gets to use the World Visit.

Thanks for the heads up! I was expecting March to be about the time I'd get in, as I also think I overheard "late March" being the release for that patch sometime ago. If the wait ends up terrible or I finish what I'm doing long before it comes out I maaay get a world transfer prior to the patch. |D
