Heyo

[Bountilful Harvest]

Hello!  Myself and a friend of mine are new to the game and are interested in both playing and RPing.  We're still newbs with only a few levels under our belts, but we're having fun so far.  Now that we played a bit and have a few levels under our belt we're looking to check out the RP scene, but not sure exactly on how to go about it.  Any help in that regard would be appreciated, or just help in general, or even just conversation.  You can never have enough friends right?

 

Anyway I don't wanna make this too long and give y'all a wall of text to read through, so I'll end it by saying we're on the Balmung server, which is the RP server I believe?  And also a picture of my character, Bountiful Harvest.  Apologies if the name isn't great, but from what I saw on the lore of Roegadyn I think it fits?  Plus I thought it was kinda funny given the gothic look of the character. XD

 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day. =3

Hello there, welcome to the both of you!  You can check out the calendar here for public RP events you can visit or look for some pick up RP at Pearl Lane in Ul'dah! I also recommend looking for an RP FC (you can browse the linkshell hall here) and you can also find folks looking for RP on these forums or on tumblr and other social media!

Thank you for the reply, and for reminding me of the calendar.  I've used Enjin for years for RP stuff, but I always forget about the calendar. ^^; I'll be sure to check it out though.

 

Pearl Lane in Ul'dah?  I have no idea where that is but I'm sure I'll run across it going through the story.  I'll be sure to keep an eye out!

 

RP FC?  FC's are this games version of guilds right?  I'll be sure to check those out too, though I haven't completely figured out how linkshells work in the game.  They are like a public chatrooms anyone can enter, I think?

 

I don't use social media, but I have started looking on these forums in the RP connections section to see about RP.  I'll make my own post at some point when I feel a little more confident in my character, but I wanna go through more of the lore first and watch some peeps RP so I can get a better understanding of how things work here.

 

Thanks again!

Pearl Lane should be marked on the map in the Steps of Thal, right outside the Quicksand (Adventurer's Guild)! It's where most people go for random walk-up RP outside of events.

Free companies are guilds, correct! You can join one per character and they are tied to a server, so you have to be on the same server. Linkshells are just chat channels and you can join multiple per character, and like FC's they are tied to a specific server. Cross-world linkshells are the same thing, except anyone from the data center can join them, so server does not matter!

Thank you again for the reply.  Jah I've found Ul'dah on the map, thanks so much!  I believe me and my friend are gonna focus on leveling and refining our character ideas and whatnot until we naturally come across that location and we'll see what's what then.

 

Another thank you for your information on FC's and Linkshells, it's much appreciated.  Diolch yn fawr.
