New to the RPC and FFXIV

[Stormlight]

Hi! I wouldn't describe myself as an avid roleplayer, but I enjoy some rp, and prefer to have a background and purpose for characters I play.  I won't usually get into RP chatting, probably because I'm not much of a talker IRL, but I'll sometimes participate, especially if I'm in the right mood.

 

The only MMOs I've played for more than a year are EQ (Firona Vie) and FFXI (Ramuh), the latter being my favorite MMO for gameplay, though I enjoyed EQ quite a bit as well.  Others include WoW, EQ2, and SW:TOR.

 

As an FFXI player, I looked forward to FFXIV, but never even tried it because of the universally bad reviews.  As I'm sure many are, I'm optimistic about ARR, even though the gameplay seems quite different than FFXI.  I'll probably join Balmung, but might opt for a new server if there is lots of interest.  I plan to veer myself toward more sociableness than usual -- it's not my natural tendency, so I'll put some effort into it. :cactuar:

 

...scary cactuars.

Thanks, all, for the welcomes, recommendations, pies, and southern accents.   I'm in the process of fleshing out my character's personality and background, and I'll be sure to ask for any help I might need.

Welcome welcome!

 

I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but if you prefer getting some one on one help, there's also a mentor thread set up where us newbies can get help from others who have been around and are more familiar with the setting.
