Hi there! - Primal Penguin - 09-14-2015
Hey! I'm new to the game but not to roleplay itself! I've been on forums and other games for the past six years and I'm excited to get into a new community. I am purchasing the game for my ps4 very soon so I have no character made up just yet and my friend has been telling me the RP server is pretty hard to get into. I do plan on getting started and actually playing the game by next week at the latest so I hope to see any and all of you soon! If there is any tips I should know please feel free to tell me I would appreciate it! Hope to meet you all soon x3

Hello new person!
Tips, tips, tips...
Getting into the server: Best way to do so is make a character on an open server, level it for a few levels (you have to wait 3 days regardless so you may as well!) and then pay $18 to transfer it over to Balmung or Gilgamesh. Â
You sound like you are familiar with roleplay so the only other tip I have for you is to have fun and immerse yourself in the lore! Â

A less certain (but free) alternative to transferring is looking up the server maintenance times (when the servers go down) and make a character template beforehand. Then a few minutes before/after the servers go down try and spam your way in.

Thanks for replying! I'll definitely give that maintenance tip a shot first thing. Which server is majority of the roleplay community? I heard balmung was where most end up.

Balmung is the place you're looking for. Gilgamesh has a roleplay community as well, but Balmung's simply bigger!
