(Malboro) New Player, New Game, New Friends

[AlexAshcroft]

I tried writing and rewriting this, but it kept going over 1000, so I'll attempt to be brief. My name is Alex, and I'm new to this game. I'm looking for a friendly, helpful bunch of people who don't mind me asking questions, getting lost occasionally, learning things (quickly), and watching cutscenes (at least the first time). I've spent five years in Warcraft as both student and mentor, and would enjoy establishing the same kind of presence here. I do not ask to be handheld, but simply afforded the opportunity to learn and grow in ways I could not do alone.

Welcome to Eorzea (and Malboro)!
A few quick points:

1. You can edit your post to go over 1000 characters.
2. There is are specific boards both for new players and Malboro. You might get more responses on those.
3. If you are looking for a free company it helps to let people know what times you tend to be online and if you are PC or PS (there are some PS specific companies).
4. Are you looking for a free company/guild?

1. Learned about this shortly afterward, but in retrospect I don't really want to assault people with walls of text.
2. Also found this afterward, but would it be better to copy the whole thing over or just link back to here?
3. PS4. Seems that got cleaved out of the original post. I'm on most afternoons/evenings, occasionally into the night on overzealous fits.
4. Yes, which drew me here. But as you say, there are other (better?) places to ask.

EDIT: Blocked from posting in Malboro for now due to a daily/level limit. File that under "constantly learning"...I see that resets daily, but at what time?

What time zone?

And yeah, the posting limits are kind of odd. They are a carry over from some trolls during the beta.

I'm seen shouts for some PS4 specific companies because of the party chat. I can't remember the names right now (I play on PC) but I'll keep an eye open for them. Otherwise having a usb keyboard or a nearby laptop for teamspeak can be really helpful.

I live in the Mountain zone, yet play WoW with people from the west and east coast on a Central server. I am/we are, if nothing else, flexible.

I should have mentioned that there is a FFXIV Malboro facebook group if you want to join it
