Looking for lasting rp connections.

[Haruka]

I would definitely be interested in that! I'm all about immersion in Role-Playing, though I am still a bit green when it comes to RP.

Until I can get my renewal fee to freaking work, I won't be able to come on the game right now (Haven't for several days now >.> ), BUT I do have a thread somewhere in RP thread list about what I'm currently on the lookout for. I have a friend of mine who's looking for other inspiring or active doctors/alchemists, and personally I am too because being a lone Alchemist can be tiring for one little lalafell! And if that doesn't strike you up, I have...3-4 other active alts I play IC, all with their own little stories. Like  I said I have a thread up somewhere that describes them fairly decently enough, but if you want a more comprehensive study of Emiiresa I have her wiki in my signature...currently working on Lydahn's Wiki since I will be using her more now since my stories with Emii and Lyda have progressed enough for me to use her IC now. =] But yeah, normally (When I'm NOT Having renewal problems) I'm usually on at least once a day, so you can count on me always being around unless something better than FFXIV comes or all my friends like, disappear on me, lol. But yeah, after I solve this renewing issue, I'm always up for RP!  And just to let you know, you can tell Emii's IC if she has glasses on. =]

Hey, I'm totally up for that, friend!  I try to stay IC all the time as well.

You're in Gilgamesh though... D:

It appears the interest in this topic has died out, and I left my FC last night so am currently entirely unconnected.  So I'll ask this.  Are there any rp linkshells that are actually used to find rp?  I've been through so many of them at this point, I can't remember them anymore, but they all have had the same problems for me.  They are one or all of the following:

 

 

 

Just another general chat channel where anyone who isn'ta big name is ignored, and said big names use channel to broadcast ic drama.

 

They're used only as a means for broadcasting when scheduled events are starting.

 

They are borderline inactive, offering only silence, or going silent when someone states they're seeking rp.

 

 

Basically, I'd like an environment where people can log in and check if anyone wants to rp, as opposed to a general chat that just broadcasts events starting.

I read the first few posts and the last one, so I apologize if there was more in this thread that I'm not addressing... or something.

 

But I sympathize with your plight. For whatever reasons, it can be hard to find good, solid RP in the community. I don't think its really anyone's fault, just a circumstance.

 

I'm not 100% sure if my LS is what you are looking for, but I will offer it. My FC is a small RP group, and we're currently on the upswing of RPing more and having more IC stuff happening. Our OOC LS has us and a few friends and allies, and is used to find RP and dungeon buddies.

 

You're more than welcome to come RP with us and have fun. I'd love to have some more dedicated RPers around. But in either case, I do hope you find some people to connect with. They are out there, I promise, the search can just be a little work.

Ifn you're still looking for interested parties, give me a shout! Screaming Fist is my main, but she's kinda got a lot on her plate recently. Maybe you can help my alt Rosalie Mondeux search for her roses? Lemme know!

I tend to stay in character all of the time, and I've finally made it onto the Balmung server! (It's been closed out for awhile...)

I'll be on quite often, on Eudalie N'aal, and I'm looking for RP connections too. Ihave to admit, I'm a bit disappointed that thus far, I haven't seen any open world roleplaying. I know there are linkshells floating around out there and free companies, but I can't seem to find anyone just... roleplaying. ;  ;

[Eva]

I know I'm late to the party here too, and probably echoing similar sentiments already expressed, but I think it varies depending on the day and what's going on. Open world RP most certainly happens often on Balmung - usually I seem to see it when I'm stuck on my way to some other RP or event or otherwise caught up in something. I haven't actively sought it out yet, but one of these days I'll just be ambling along and find a way to participate.

 

Like most things there will be times when it's not happening for whatever reasons. The problem may be that you can't be everywhere at once, and it's possible the RP may be happening elsewhere. This is where having a network of linkpearls (even something OOC for RPers like Intermission) can be valuable in at least being able to pinpoint where something is happening so you can find an excuse for your character to be there.

 

The hotspots seem to be the taverns (I seldom see silence at the Quicksands), but the other day I ran by some group RPing out in Thanalan in /say - though they did all have the same FC tag so it might have been a company thing, which still shouldn't detract anyone from getting involved or at least asking OOC.

 

Without tooting our own horn too much (and since this thread kind of begets it and others are doing the same thing anyway), our company is also endeavoring to "get out there" more and interact outside of our headquarters, and I think many of us feel we've made lasting RP connections with each other - and are slowly and steadily recruiting new members. We have sort of repurposed ourselves once again (in large part due to the RP that has taken us to this point, so it's an in-character repurposing) and will be updating our post here soon to reflect these changes. But we generally RP with most anyone who will RP with us, not just those amongst our own ranks, and are looking to get involved with other companies and individuals as well.

 

I think it's fair to say that most everyone is looking for these same sort of lasting connections and folks they can RP with. Many among us have been involved with characters who have just sort of upped and vanished (often when another MMO comes along) and it's always tricky dealing with those voids when they come about, so I certainly sympathize.

Hey! I'm interested in building lasting RP connections! I made a similar thread earlier lol. Find me in game or send me a message and we can work something out x3

[Gray]

Glad there still seems to be some interest here.  Still looking for folks who are serious about rp and looking for reliable contacts.

[E'lario]

I'm open for RP whenever I'm online, and I always love to have more people to RP with. I'll try and add you next time I'm on and hopefully we can get together!

 

Of course, you can always PM me here too. And anyone else that wants to feel free.

[Medipack]

Hope I'm not too late for the party, but I find that's a similar issue I've been having as well. Though, then again, I've only just recently begun trying to RP on an MMO, so I might not be looking in the right places...and I do feel a bit apprehensive about simply jumping into someone else's IC conversations.

[Gray]

You and me both, Medi.  Even if I know them.  Let's see if we can rp sometime.

 

 

Now, I have to sound like a jerk for a minute here, so I apologize.  It seems some people are not getting the point to this topic.  When I originally posted it, I got a lot of contacts and we friended eachother, but then I would never hear from them, and when I mentioned trying to rp, they never really seemed interested in actually trying.  Dodging the question in some cases as if they felt like it was a bother. 

 

I got some more of the same this time as well.  Folks tell me they're interested, but they are showing methe exact opposite.  So I am going to have to just put my foot down about this right now. 

 

This topic is meant for people who place high value on rp.  Not people who only rp when they get bored of crafting and leveling, or who are just looking to collect people for their list so they can move down the ladder when their preferred contacts aren't around.

 

I don't care if I don't cap soldiery for the week.  RP comes first.  I don't care that I still don't have all the ATMA for one weapon.  I will gladly put that aside for rp.  RP is my main thing, and if you're going to contact me through this topic, it should be yours, as that i swhat I am looking for.  There are plenty of buffet style rpers out there for you to pick from if you're just looking for a few new names to look at for when the mood strikes you.

 

So please.  If you're not looking for reliable rp, do not contact me.  I am not saying people need to stop playing the game, or that I expect them to set aside a certain amount of time every day, but I need to know I can count on people for some level of meaningful interaction, and when 2 weeks go by with nothing, that's showing me you're not interested.

 

Thanks for those who really -are- interested.  This was not meant as any sort of attack.  I just really need people to understand the point here, and it seems I did't convey it very well before.
