balmung Roleplaying Areas

[YesGood]

Due to several people posting about how they can't find RP on their server and they just don't know where to go, I hope that this can be of some help. What I implore you existing RP groups, Linkshells, and Free Companies of Balmung to do, is please post an area where you frequently meet up and might be available for walk-up RP as well as what your group does, if applicable. If there are set times that your group's activity is highest, you can add those too. Also, if you know of a place where you see roleplay regularly, feel free to add that area as well. Try to be as specific as possible.

 

I'll update this post with all other contributions. This isn't a thread that's meant to be here for debates and arguments, it's here to help anyone who is new and looking around for RP.

 

*If you have a really secretive group of some sort that doesn't take kindly to strangers walking up to you, please don't post your secret hide out. It's kinda... counter productive...

 

---

 

Celestial Forge: West Hawker's Alley Last stall. Contact Nel Celestine, IsilmeTuruphant, Miya Sha, Rhio Aldul for RP. This is a business group.

 

Corvus Cinis: The Bobbing Cork at Fallgourd Float. Throughout the week.

*Current storyline has C.C. in Ishgard.

 

Europa:  Drowning Wench or Bismarck in Limsa Lominsa. Lately we've been moving to the circular area across from the docks. (Map Below) Also meet at the Quicksand and Gold Court in Ul'dah and Apkulla Falls in Gridania.

The Grindstone: Central Thanalan outside Ul'dah on the bridge north of the city gates. Wednesdays and Saturdays after 10pm EST/7pm PST. Fighters' Coalition.

Heart of Coeurl: HyrstMill in the Black Shroud (Gridania). Found more often in the Roost (Gridania), Quicksand (Ul'dah), Drowning Wench (Limsa). Hyrstmill is used more for a general meeting area for tasks, missions and the odd job.

 

Misericorde: Most of our IC meetings have happened around Limsa Lominsa, and While we always welcome outside RP, we don't exactly partake in Happy Hour.

 

Mysterium: The Bismarck in Limsa Lominsa. Often ad hoc meet-ups. Usually discussing elements of magic and magical training.

Corvus Cinis frequents the Bobbing Cork at Fallgourd Float throughout the week, and our current storyline has us out in Ishgard.

[FreelanceWizard]

Mysterium often meets ad hoc at the Bismarck in Limsa Lominsa. We usually discuss elements of magic and magical training.

[Natya Rudh]

The Skyguard Corsairs have established their base of operations and staging ground in the fishing port; Crescent Cove with the villagers' consent in exchange for protection.

[Rinh Hallani]

Europa often has impromptu meet ups at the Drowning Wench or Bismarck in Limsa although lately we've been moving to the circular area across from the docks. I don't know how else to describe it, so behold my amazing Paint skills!

 

 

We also meet at the Quicksand and Gold Court in Ul'dah and Apkulla Falls in Gridania.

[ShoggMommy]

Heart of Coeurl; works out of HyrstMill in the Black Shroud (Gridania). However, we found more often in found at the Roost (Gridania), Quicksand (Ul'dah), Drowning Wench (Limsa). Hyrstmill is used more for a general meeting area for tasks, missions and the odd job.

I'd love to post here with a definite location, but right now Misericorde is sort of at war with itself... again. Most of the time you can find us in the wild or in random towns across Eorzea. We're busy folk, and we don't really have "usual haunts". I will say that most of our IC meetings have happened around Limsa Lominsa, and we're always popping up at scheduled RPC-wide events, both big and small. Keep in mind though that while we always welcome outside RP, we don't exactly partake in Happy Hour. 

 

I encourage anyone who can find us to do so. We're a bit rough around the edges, but we're an interesting bunch.

 

To give some actual answers to the question: there's a lot of general RP that has nothing to do with us at Wineport, Costa del Sol, all around Limsa Lominsa, Fallgourd Float and Camp Bronze Lake. I personally spend a great deal of my time between the Observatorium and Camp Dragonhead.

[YesGood]

Thank you guys for all the contributions thus far!

[TheLastCandle]

The Drowning Wench, Gridania's Amphitheatre, and the Bobbing Cork are the places where I've had the most success finding impromptu RP.

 

On another note, I really ought to get around to finding an LS/FC to join.

[Nel Celestine]

The Celestial Forge (not a linkshell it is a store)

 

location: west hawkers alley. last stall closest to the ferry

 

times: any just send on of the store members a /tell to see if we are free to rp

 

Nel Celestine

Isilme Turuphant

Miya Sha

Rhio Aldul

[Xenedra]

Soliloquy Performing Arts Tavern often gathers in Wine Port (though it's a temporary location and we claim that out location is in Limsa) for, you'd never guess it, performance and tavern rp : P.

 

Xenedra Ambreaus (that's me !) and Abaigeal Causland would be your contacts .

[Gerik]

The Spectrum Lounge is at Bronze Lake.

 

You'd contact Corin Winterborne or Avenio Naemig for that

[YesGood]

Thank you for more contributions. I am pretty sure that my OP is being edited by more than just me-- if this is the case and there's a moderator editing that post, you can feel free to take over now that this is started.

[KitKat]

The Salts of Rhotano have been using Red Rooster Stead and Wineport for RP. The Stead is sort of a company base for now while Wineport is where we're set up for our tavern.

[Kylin]

Stickied. Saw a Gilgamesh one as well but it seemed more of a question rather than an OP that was being updated (unless I missed another one). If someone on Gilgamesh wishes to make and update a similar thread, I will sticky that one as well.

[Yloise]

Coffer and the Coffin has some RP at times.

 

Also, Camp Overlook was thought of a good spot as well, even tho it is remote for lower levels.

[Rosekitten]

As a fyi you might want to remove SkyGuard from the list as the company is no longer. As a heads up.

[Eva]

This is all kind of moot now. See the post further below.

 

 

Crystalline has assembled a number of different places so far.  What we're using temporarily as a sort of "home base" is an abandoned training facility the Everwatch company ran dubbed Camp Solitude in the Eastern Shroud, a short bit south of Little Solace.

 

We also find ourselves RPing often at the Sanctum Church of Saint Adama Landama, the Sanctum of the Twelve, and some of the various other places, depending on the nature of the events.

[ArmachiA]

The Night Blades run around EVERYWHERE because I think we're trying to just rp in all the places at least once, BUT We've taken over Moraby Drydocks as our Temp HQ till 2.1.

 

You'll also find us a lot at the Bar in Bronze Lake, the Bismark (generally with the Grim Echo as they have their meetings there), The Silver Bazaar, the Coffer and Coffin, the bar in Drybone, and the Grindstone meetings on Wednesday and Saturday.

eh its been hard for me to find people to hand with on Balmung, I can;t find anyone currently in a RP and my current guild has no idea of RP groups

[Olofantur]

Might I suggest taking a look at the Linkshell hall in the above bar? It lists a few groups that are RP or coordination focused.

 

You could also make an entry on the "Wiki" which would allow people to get a rough idea of your character before making contact. People are often surprised by just how many unique page views the wiki can get (twelve knows I was).

 

If nothing else feel free to send me a tell in game and i'll see if I can't point you in a direction or two.

[Miakoda]

The 'Linkshells' thing on here isn't entirely accurate, since there's no way to see if they're active.  I'd love to see a linkshells/guild advertising forum, and if they're updating it regularly then people have a better idea of what is available and active.

 

I think also a good idea would be just a LFRP linkshell.  I was thinking of making one if no one else has.  I know that there are people on Gilgamesh that have them.

I suggest messaging the leaders, posting on the entry or contacting one of the members. That will usually give you an insight into activity.

 

You can also check them on the lodestone in the case of free companies. If you're looking for an OOC Linkshell that does a lot of connecting among RPC members I would suggest intermission (also listed in the LS Hall) which I believe is on its 3rd pearl iteration due to the number of people, but you'd have to message them to get specifics.

 

There is of course the

http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=4812

 

Thread about "Rping right now" as well as other entries in the events area for a given server advertising given events/groups and narratives that are at various points of creation/implementation.

 

If you do intend to make a Linkshell, best of luck with your endeavor. You can of course message me in game if you prefer contact that way.

Hallo!

 

The BLC does like to make use of the building in Vesper Bay that...isn't the tavern or the Waking Sands.  It's actual name is utterly escaping me at the moment- it has a couple of beds, a desk, and a couple of NPCs.

 

We're typically out in the world, however, so if someone else uses the same building it shouldn't be tough to share.

[Shizuno]

Hey there!

 

The Hungry Wolf has made their base of operations in the North Shroud at 22,21. It's reachable for low levels, if you're careful. We'll be here periodically to just do open RP, and if people want to hire us for a job (since we're a mercenary unit) you can get in contact with us here too.

 

If you want to have some spontaneous RP with us, just send me (Shizu Ayana) a tell in game. You could also try contacting Jack Swift to get some RP going too.

 

Hope to see you around!
