Marriage Partner Hookup Megathread!

[RayneLittlewinkle]

@ Siena Vedana I also play on Balmung, if you ever want to chat sometime when the server comes back up. I usually main Elezen but did some playing around with fantasias been thinking about Au ra. I can shoot you a /tell in game sometime if you want?

Hello! Sure thing haha it seems you have caught the fantasia bug as well. But sure I'm up for a chat whenever.

Oh hey, suddenly a bunch of Odin people pop up. I guess I should bump my post then!

Server: Odin
Willing to transfer?: Mayhaps, if we click well. I also rather like the current peaks on my datacenter (timezones and all ;_; )
Personal Interests: Games (obviously!), cats, anime, cats, music. Did I mention cats?
Play schedule: Usually in the evening CEST.
What kind of gamer are you: Midcore, I guess? I don't mind doing raids or savages, but don't expect me to clear them perfectly with the best gear.
Character Gender: Female (male irl)
Do you care if the player in real life is not the same gender as their character?: Not at all, as I'm guilty of this myself! Besides, does it really matter when we click?
Character Race: Miqo'te
Preferred Race: Miqo'te and Au Ra are in danger of continual glomping from me. Really though, any race are welcome. I'm not going to pick on people playing their preferred race.
Main class?: White Mage (aka be nice, or no heals for you :P)
Dislikes: People giving up after a few wipes, elitists, or just jerks in general.
Goals for the game: Getting ready for Stormblood! Otherwise generally just clearing content and finishing my Anima weapon.
Goals for the marriage union: Firstly meeting someone I can talk with and enjoy the game together. And who knows, perhaps more irl if things work out?

Hiya!

I'm on Balmung at the moment, but since the NA data centre relocation I've been contemplating a move over to an EU server. How is the community on Odin? I have heard mixed things and though the ping I am playing on is making the game very difficult to play well, I'm anxious about moving because I can be a bit socially anxious :/

I moved from Balmung to Phoenix quite a while ago, and met some nice people there. They're all more into taking things slow and not caring about messing up and ping and all that. I actually met quite a few of them outside the game by now as well. Obviously, not all of the community is like that, so now that some people are taking a (forced) break, I haven't done many dungeons on my main, but I've started levelling an alt. Fun going through the story again.

I can vouch for this. Odin is the unofficial "raiding" server of Chaos, and has the sort of playerbase you'd expect from that. Phoenix is a lot more casual and laid back, and it's generally a friendly community. It's one of the higher population servers to boot, and I often see RPers around (if that's what you're interested in.)

Well, many of those things are true as Odin is a bit of a mixed bag. :P

As Lunaxia mentioned, Odin is usually considered as the unofficial EU raid server. And that's certainly not wrong; there's always a lot of end-game raiding and farming going on, and those people expect you to know the fights.

That doesn't mean they're uptight or anything though. I've often found them very friendly and patient, even when some new guy screws up and needs pointers.
Of course you'll find some bad apples here, kind of to be expected from a server as big as Odin, but those are (thankfully) still in the minority.

However, I'd personally say a "raid server" is not an accurate label for Odin, as you'll still find many people who do little or no raiding.
You may not find a very casual player often, but there are still many, many people who are laid back and playing at their own pace. And they're all just as friendly as the rest.

Honestly, I'd recommend to at least make an alt here to feel out the community yourself. We're such a mixed mess that we're generating mixed opinions, as you mentioned yourself. :P

Thanks to everyone who gave me a bit of insight on the EU server community! I made a few alts on various servers and did some poking around, but I didn't get the friendliest vibe anywhere...but then again, they were low-level alts in the main "vanilla" ARR cities. Maybe I'm just being weird and letting my social anxiety get the best of me, heh.

Not much talking going on in the starter cities really. Quite a few people there are alts or people AFK'ing or something. Feel free to look me up though if you want. I'm not online that much due to work, but when I am, I'm usually on either Millerna Astor or Ciarann Dugan.
