Stranger in a strange land.

[Rei'a Rinjiri]

I suppose it's somewhat hard to introduce oneself when you don't have a name or a face, but here I am.

 

Let me begin by saying that I do not currently play Final Fantasy XIV, but I intend to begin doing so upon the launch of ARR. To that end I went about the business of making preparations in the way of FC, LS and server perusing. I stumbled across your website just yesterday and it didn't take me but a night to decide this was the right sort of place to start.

 

I have little to no prior experience in Final Fantasy games. I do however have a vast array of gaming experience(.) and a fair share of mmorpg experience. I was an 8 year veteran of WoW, and have also dabbled in SWTOR as well as Guild Wars 2.

 

As for role-playing... I've gotten my feet wet, but little more. I rp'd during my extended period in WoW, for about a year or so, about 5 years back. I had a great time until a few of my acquaintances fell silent and things sort of unraveled for me.

 

I'm eagerly awaiting ARR's release... or re-release in a manner of speaking, and hope to rekindle my affair with rp while hopefully finding a new mmo to call home. Only signed up for beta about a week ago, so doubtful I'll get in. In the meantime I don't really have a name or a face, but I wanted to introduce myself during the interim. I'll be spending the next month attempting to learn what I can of the lore while planning out a main character.

 

Oh, and any sort of advice or direction to any FC(s) or LS(s) oriented around newcomers to this worlds' rp or perhaps to a slower pace in general would be just fantastic!

This is a great place to get your feet wet, and learn some things about the game before you give it a try ! Take a walk around the forums, and I'm sure you'll find something to get your creative juices flowing and possibly point you in a direction you'd like your future character to go.

 

The Linkshell Hall has a listing of the various linkshell and free companies looking for members here. Take a look at what they have to offer, see if any of them appeal to you.

 

Good luck with your travels in Eorzea :thumbsup:!

greeting and welcome!! 

 

There are plenty of people about willing to help you find your niche here! There are actually several threads that cater to helping you pink a LS of FC. Plenty of people that move at a pave that you set. And there is a mentor thread floating about if you would like someone to take you under their wing. I would link it but my smart phone is making me feel dumb and not do as I want it too!!!

 

 

any how welcome once agian♥

[Xenedra]

Hiii! There are a buuuunch of shells to choose from, many of which would probably be more than willing to help out a fresh player. From my experience I do happen to know Corvus Cinis is super welcoming to completely new people. You might also find this lore post useful in your journey of FFXIVness and maybe this how-to post as well for things like linkshells (guilds) and the wiki (where we keep our character profiles and some other good lore bits)! Anyhoo, welcome to the RPC!

Hey there!

 

Welcome to the community, and like the others have shown, there's plenty to see and lots to learn. Take your time getting a feel for the place, I'm sure you'll find a LS that fits you as the forum is full of really great ones.

 

Above all, have fun both here and ingame!

[Dogberry]

I grok you, water brother.

 

Welcome to the community. There's a ton of groups and people to play with across two servers, which is pretty sweet. I hope you make yourself comfortable and have a ton of fun here.

 

Aquafraternally yours.
