Hello

I am a female gamer who find herself after years of playing with the same group of people, alone in the mmorpg universe. I bought this game after reading the forums, watching "lets play" videos and coming to the conclusion that the community in all seems very friendly.
I tried joining one of those "We're friendly and love chatting" FC's, but it's big and there is a ton of people talking about things I don't understand.
Being as new to FFXIV as I am - I suppose I am either looking for a smaller community that don't mind taking me in and answer my newbie questions, or someone to play with.
My time zones are east coast, US and I'll play a good bit in the afternoons and tons on the weekend.
Willing to start on any server for the chance of making lasting friendships and have fun.
