Hello everyone, i decided to wait a little before posting this topic, simply so more people could settle in from all the server merge stuff.
As you are no doubt aware, due to the large amount of publicity we've gotten on the forums lately, that Besaid is the unofficial home of the roleplaying community. With the coming merger, Besaid will be coming together with Fabul server to become Balmung, and with it, the RP community will be proud to call Balmung it's home.
What does this mean for you?
If you roleplay:
It means there's a chance for you to transfer to Balmung from any other server and join in the community! Make new friends, meet rpers from accross the globe, and come together to share in unique player driven story events, contests, social gatherings, anything you can possibly imagine. Contribute by holding your own events and inviting the community at large to come and attend! Everyone is welcome no matter their skill level, from beginner, to the most advanced veteran of prose and storywriting.
Many linkshells are already on hand and happy to welcome new members. If you've never roleplayed before, and are interested in joining in, we'll show you anything you'd like to know, and help nurture your creativity.
If you do not roleplay:
Effectively, it means nothing. Nothing will change for you, you can continue to play however you wish, be it casual or hardcore or both! With a wealth of linkshells both old and new to join and play together with, regular pick up groups for grinding, coffers, notorious monsters, and plenty of endgame content including darkhold, moogle, and ifrit runs.
Roleplayers will be a factor, this is true, and at times you will happen upon us rping in /say if we're in a larger gathering, however we are kind and helpful creatures, and we're more than happy to cater to well mannered people who can ask nicely and explain to us if we're being disruptive to their play.
All in all, be you from Fabul, or be you from Besaid server. Welcome to Balmung, we look forward to meeting you all!
