Kitra I'rahz Posted August 17, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2013 This may be in the wrong place, if it is I am sorry but as the title suggests I am interested in knowing if any RP groups are actually on behemoth? This sticky here... http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=310 ...indicated that Behemoth does have an RP community on it, so this was the server we rolled with. However, there is no sub-forum for this server located on these forums... I would like to know if there are any RP communities rolling on this server and if so, could my friend and I get an invite to your linkshell? We are previously Guild Wars 2 RPers who are are very excited about Final Fantasy XIV and the opportunities it presents for RPing! (I was blown-away last night by how much RP fluff is in the game, specifically how many emotes this game has! WOWZERS) Before I go any further, you may asking right now "If you planned on RPing why didn't you just join Balmung or Gilgamesh?" Several reasons: 1.) Economy/Elitism - Balmung is a legacy server and we don't want to deal with the influx of GIL on the market essentially pushing us out of it since we won't be bringing legacy characters. Also, we are both still relatively new to RP and the fact legacy players have 1.0 experience/lore on their side is a bit intimidating to begin with. Youthrow in the fact we experienced elitism having to do with this exact kind of thing in GW2 and we really don't want to deal with that a second time. 2.) Reddit/4Chan - I've read posts on these forums (including a very lengthy one about making Behemoth the non-legacy server) about how Reddit and 4Chan are headed to Gilgamesh. Reddit from my experience in GW2 was an elite bunch and 4chan is something my friend and I have both had the unpleasant experience of dealing with on Tarnished Coast (GW2 RP server) since guesting was implemented. We would rather not deal with that either. 3.) Some non-RP friends play on Behemoth - We both have a handful of non-rp friends who decided to head to Behemoth and we would like to play with them. In closing, I really hope we can find some RP community that is willing to pick us up on Behemoth. It would make the transfer from GW2 complete and perfectly painless.

Nel Celestine Posted August 17, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2013 I'm sorry to say that I personally do not know of any groups on behemoth. there was a group on the beta forums but refused to come talk with us because of the fact many here are legacy. -sigh- I still don't understand the stigmata towards us due to a few idiots of the beta and official forums. legacy does not mean every job capped and Mac Gil. I addressed those concerns in the sticky posted in the rp section. I wish you the best of luck on behemoth and you will always be welcome on balmung and Gilgamesh if you do choose down the road. just remember. all the anti legacy complaints will be moot before aug 27th Link to comment
Aysun Posted August 17, 2013 Share #3 Posted August 17, 2013 I'd love to change your mind about Balmung, but it seems you are set on your choice. There is a RP group on Behemoth, or was, last time we checked. If you go under Linkshells under "Other" they are listed there still. Link to comment
Kitra I'rahz Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted August 17, 2013 We actually are NOT dead set on it. My friend and I discussed it about a week ago, if it turns out Behemoth has no RP to speak of, or at least no group we can join up with we may end up having to jump ship to Gilgamesh/Balmung.

My friend and I discussed it about a week ago, if it turns out Behemoth has no RP to speak of, or at least no group we can join up with we may end up having to jump ship to Gilgamesh/Balmung. I understand. There is just that one group that I know of and I'm not sure how focused on RP they are. They want nothing to do with the RPC so you will likely have to sign up on their forums if you want to ask any questions of them. If worst comes to worst for you and you do wish to come to one of the other servers, we'll welcome ya wherever you go. Just do some research! Link to comment

Asyria Posted August 18, 2013 Share #9 Posted August 18, 2013 The whole economy thing is a myth. There's been massive changes in how crafting works and vendors sell moko grass for 2gil apiece so it's just not possible for gatherers to put crazy high prices for mats and crafters can make a profit without crazy prices too. As for 4chan and reddit... 4chan is on Ultro and Redditors are no worse than your average gamer with no special affiliation. The only Reddit-specific thing I've seen on Gilgamesh was a friendly guy advertising for a FC-to-be called Reddit Reborn and that's it. That said, the reason Behemoth doesn't have its own subsection.. is there hasn't been a demand for it. It's my understanding that to have its own subsection there has to be a significant portion of our community playing there. I believe there are RPers on Behemoth... but not many are here. Some suggested going there instead of Giglamesh, but it was 50/50 and they didn't move in the end. You might have more luck asking on the official forums, since that's where the idea to RP on Behemoth originated. Also, this is totally the right section. I think. Link to comment

Trickery Posted August 18, 2013 Share #12 Posted August 18, 2013 I'm actually part of an RP Linkshell (soon to be FC) that's on Behemoth. I'm probably one of the few that actually stalk around these forums 'cause I split time playing on Balmung as well. www.fatesedge.org if you want to check it out. In the interest of being completely frank, though, the non-Legacy RP communities are a little sparse and spread out at the moment. It might get better in time, but right now your best bet is to find an FC on either Gilgamesh, Behemoth, Leviathan etc. and just roll with them 'cause you're not as likely to just run into random RPers there. So, consider this a plug for switching over to Balmung. I actually just started a new character there and I'm enjoying myself immensely so far. Just make sure to steer clear of Limsa Lominsa at the moment unless you want to drown in a sea of carbuncles. Link to comment

Asyria Posted August 19, 2013 Share #14 Posted August 19, 2013 On the topic of economy... You know that story quest where the guy asks that you equip a level 5 item in a bunch of equipment slots? You know how quests reward with everything except pants? On Balmung, I bought lvl 5 pants for 10 gil au the merchant board (auction house). If that's not cool newbie-friendly economy, I don't know what is. Of course on Gilgamesh you can get the Silver Anvil brand of lvl 5 pants, though. (I really wish we could put a brand name on our crafted stuff, that would rock. o_o ) Anyways, give us some news about how things are on Behemoth, if I suffer from alticism, I might have a little alt there. I still don't have a Lala character. Link to comment
Lush The Grey Posted August 19, 2013 Share #15 Posted August 19, 2013 A lot of my friends wanted to roll on Behemoth so I followed suit. However, now that I'm interested in RPing and after searching the forums, I am regretting my decision as it appears there aren't any Free Companies or Link Shells on Behemoth. Even so, I don't want to switch to another server as I've already made some progress on my current character. That being said, if there are any strays on Behemoth that would like to work towards building an RP community on Behemoth, I would love to do just that. Perhaps I should start a new post regarding this? Either way, feel free to contact me here or in-game upon release (my ign is Bleu Grey.) If I only hear from one or two people, I'd still be happy to figure something out! Link to comment

Vid Posted August 19, 2013 Share #18 Posted August 19, 2013 Ok, so here is the thing. Balmung and Gilgamesh already have pretty established RP going on, from what i have heard. That is really great! The thing is, I am very greedy. I want to play this game with my RL friends that don't rp, because we play everything together, AND at the same time play with an awesome group of RP'rs. Instead of forcing everyone i know that doesn't RP to switch servers to an RP server (Which will not happen), Kit and I thought it would be fab to try and take on the challenge of starting/strengthening the rp community on Behemoth, since there was already some talk of rp happening there. If you want to recruit for different RP servers, have a ball, but please do it on a different thread. i think Kit started this thread to try and drum up rp folks on Behemoth. So! In summation: If you want to RP on another server, kudos to you. If you are on Behemoth and are looking for RP, hit Kit or I up. Let's start a community! Vidra I'rahz and Kitra I'rahz. (i am not an altoholic, so i usually only make and play one character, especially in a game with a class system as awesomely flexible as this.) Link to comment

If you don't like that, I apologize, but I'm not going to stop letting people know their choices just because you wish to establish yet another new community. My friends from IRL/other games started on Balmung because they knew I had reason to be there. I'm sorry that your friends won't do that to play with you here, but there is no reason to make this into a recruitment competition because of that. Link to comment

Havoc Snow Posted August 19, 2013 Share #21 Posted August 19, 2013 Considering the Gilgamesh RP Community brand spanking new it's hard to think of them as being established in any way. They're dedicated, and they're organized, but they're hardly established yet. Even Balmung is going through a whole new renewal with a massive influx of new members, in fact there are probably more new RPers than old at this point. It's not that we're trying to steal people away, it's just that many of us would rather not see an already small community of roleplayers split three ways. This is in no way meant to persuade people away from Behemoth, after all it was my server of choice through most of the beta, but I wouldn't exactly call them beleaguered either. Bahamut is under represented on the RPC merely because there are very few people RPing there compared to Gilgamesh and Balmung, so Behemoth isn't so much beset by difficulties as it is unpopular by comparison.

Vee Posted August 19, 2013 Share #22 Posted August 19, 2013 Not to really derail your topic, I just wanted to say that Gilgamesh isn't really established at all. We have a few events planned, but there hasn't been any talk of chronicles or serious alliances and bonds made yet. We just had our first impromptu get together in OB that consisted of about 10 people or so (the low number is also due to the errors that occurred). All in all, we need all the help we can get honestly. There's only a handful of us really trying to push out community-wide events for everyone but there's only a few so far. At first we were pretty unorganized so I got the idea to make an event planning committee to at least get the gears going in people to really try to start thinking about how we want to shape our time in Eorzea. I'm sorry you won't be joining Balmung or Gilgamesh, but I do hope you find people to play with on Behemoth if you decide to stay there. Good luck. ^^ Link to comment

Crimmera Vahn Posted August 27, 2013 Share #24 Posted August 27, 2013 Hello! Just wanted to pop into the thread to say that I am interested in RP and I am oon Behemoth, character name A'nari Tao. I am not new to MMOs, or RPing in MMOs, but I am new to FFXIV so if you ever find your self interacting with me, then be prepared for my newbness! Other than that, I am having wicked fun playing this game but would like to meet some people in-game to chat and to occasionally bug with newb questions. Thanks!! Link to comment
Gideon Aryeh Posted August 27, 2013 Share #25 Posted August 27, 2013 You all should maybe post something on the Behemoth forum on the lodestone. Most of the guys heading there stayed on the beta forums. Also do a google search for Behemoth rp guilds. I know there is one from what I remember on the beta forums but I don't remember their name. They may also be on the other servers forum for linkshells here. Link to comment
