New Player

[Exunforgiv3n]

Good evening/afternoon/morning,

Hello everyone. I am new to FF14 and am just wanting to start to get familiar with the game and some players, along with this server in general. I'll first start off by telling a little about myself. I don't come from a huge mmo background, but I have been playing WoW on and off since it released. Just recently did I get into the raiding scene within that game(mainly due to not having much to do outside of raiding) and ventured into mythic raiding with the guild I was in before I cancelled my sub. I had ended up going 7/10 Mythic BRF as a resto shaman on the server Stormrage(US). Speaking of US servers, I am American and joined this server because I had a friend that talked me into playing and I havn't seen him on lately but he played here on Phoenix, hence why I am misplaced haha.

I didn't really plan on getting into raiding too much, but I really did enjoy it when I finally did, I didn't enjoy the community and atmosphere of it though, too much yelling and finger pointing at people instead of advice giving and patience, I don't care how good you are, 4 hour raid nights will put a strain on everyone and in my opinion deserves 15 min breaks every hour to keep concentration going well. So with the quick burnout of WoW raiding my made my decision accept my friends offer and play. So far I'm really enjoying it along with the community that I've encountered so far. There is a lot for me to learn still, but I'll get it down pretty quickly since I theorycraft all the time or just wiki things out of boredom at work. I also brought along my girlfriend and another one of my WoW friends and possibly another in the next two weeks. I hope to meet many of you in game and hopefully form a sense of community with this server. Here's to hoping for a good fun time.

welcome to the server, if u looking for friends i am new too here ( just transfare 2 nights away ), i came here, because i was told this is one of 2 biggest servers that catter for english speakers,specially when it comes to serius content. which so far seems to be trie. i see lot of activity in the PF everyday, altho i am still buesy lvling my alt war this week to 50 but soon i will get more active soon. my FC is called "The Fraternity" if u want to apply, mayne u can start our 3rd raid group if you wish, leader is Piraten Sommarvind.

if you are not aware, the hardest classes to secure for ur raid would be a good PLD and WHM, so if u can cover those u are pretty much good although skill would be required for all classes.

btw raiding here is more relaxed, unless you are hardcore raider ( only few grps per server ) or going for server firsts. most raid grps, we did 2 or 3 hour max per raid, and either 2 or 3 days per week. this doesn't mean the content here is not challanging , it just what fits for those groups , juggling work or real life stuff and the game. most of the fights are 11m to 13m if you do it correctly as well.

Eh, raiding environment here may or may not be the same as in other games really. It depends on the people you're raiding with. Even in pickup groups people will dodge responsibilities and blame each other.

If you have questions, you can contact me ingame. Odds are I'm AFK, though. Especially between 4:00-8:00 pm GMT (I just leave my PC on :P)
