Hi All! I am interested in RP. Â I know many of you are from Excalibur(Legacy). Â I don't think I can bring myself to leave yet, does anyone know if anyone at all RPs on Excalibur? Â I really don't know where to start with RP either. Â I have never RP before and wanted to get my feet wet! Â Should I just make a new character on a server and see how I like it and move main later? Thoughts? Suggestions? Â Thank you look forward to chatting with you all!

Hi!
I think you mean Balmung (which is one of the legacy servers)? I know a few friends who play over there, but I'm not sure what the RP scene looks like. (It probably exists, but may be very quiet/secluded, depending on the players). One quick way to find out is to go to a central hub area (On Balmung, it's typically the quicksand in Ul'dah that gets the most packed) and to do a /shout or /yell looking for RPers. If it's quiet, or maybe you're more comfortable, there is nothing that could stop you from RPing on the forums as well! I know we've attempted a couple Balmung/Gilgamesh crossovers, but sometimes the differing communities of the servers can make that a little....interesting. -- To answer your question, do what seems like the most fun for you! If you've got a bunch of friends on Excalibur, leaving just for RP would be kinda sad. Typically, Balmung opens its gates to transfers/new characters around the 2AM-6AM PST mark. If you happen to be awake then, you could try making a low level alt to browse the community to see if you like it, thne transfer over if so? |

Hey there! Figured I'd throw my two cents in, being an Excalibur ex-pat myself!
As far as Excal's RP scene, it's practically non-existent. Sure, there are likely some small scale RP linkshells / FCs somewhere, but they're not openly advertised and probably very closed off / hard to find and join. RP is just not something you'll see a lot of on that server, especially not open world RP. In fact, while I was there, I even avoided telling people about my RP hobby because the attitude towards it from a lot of the players was mocking, and sometimes antagonistic. ("Ohhhh, you roleplay? So you just want to ERP, then." kind of stuff. All the time. Even from my FC mates / friends who only did PVE.) What I'd suggest is doing exactly what you said: Â make an alt character on Balmung or Gilgamesh, try out RP for a while, and move over your main later if you decide you like it here. That's exactly what I did, and I don't regret it a bit! c: |

Thanks guys! I tried to make on there last night. Â But the servers were locked and were not accepting any new people . Â Any one know when they actually open up? Â How do I start RPing on the Forms?
