The Fat Chocobos
Free Company (http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/freecompany/9237305048201953789/) & Linkshell (http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/linkshell/4503599627457722/)
Server/World: Sargatanas
Datacenter: Aether

Facebook Group: Fat Chocobos Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/559690264082203/?fref=ts)
The Facebook group includes a pinned post with many useful links such as our Discord, TeamSpeak, Rules, Twitch, Guides and more

The Fat Chocobos are the official Eyes on Final Fantasy Free Company based on the Sargatanas server. We're a chatty bunch for the most part, focusing on enjoying ourselves rather than telling people off for not having the right gear. Expect a lot of jokes, a lot of banter and a lot of silliness. We have a Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/559690264082203/?fref=ts), a Discord server and even (rarely used these days because of Discord) a TeamSpeak server which we can use when we feel like having even more fun in our events. We do our best to help people out regardless of what they need done, and we enjoy doing anything from sitting around poking fun at each other to crushing the more difficult endgame content. I like to think we have enough people that if you don't like doing one thing, we have a group of fantastic people that will help you do something else!

We have a wide spectrum of members, ranging from casual players to hardcore crafters to those ensconced in the most difficult content in the game, and we're always looking for friendly folks to expand our ranks so if you see someone who would make a good addition to the group, invite them on in and let us know!

So you want to be a Fat Chocobo...
We're always looking for new members! If you think we sound like we'd be a good fit for you, then contact us! Post in this thread, track down any member of the group in game, email us or send us a PM, because we'd love to have you. We like friendly people, so please do your best to treat everyone nicely. :)

Who are the leaders? Who else is in the Free Company? What are their usernames at EoFF?

Fixed that for you.

Also, I vote for Tmoney Mcawesome as Tmoney Awesomesauce is a pretty long name to have hovering over your head.

Hi guys! Just poking my head in here. :)

<3 this linkshell, it's one of my two main shells that I hold very near and dear to my heart. I was doing my BRD AF last summer/fall and Bob was in the group. He stayed until everyone in the party was done, which was pretty much ALL DAY, and by the end he didn't know ANYONE at all in the group (well neither did I!). That's the type of place Fat Chocobos is. At this point I knew I had to threaten to bite Bob's ankles until he invited myself and Vaughn to his LS.

FYI~ I will probably be slightly changing my last name and Vaughn will be changing his race and entire name.

Can't wait for phase4/early-access/launch and have our game back!

Sucks to be you, our FC is gonna be rockin'. ;) According to the highly inaccurate Beta Lodestone, something like the 14th largest Free Company on Sargatanas at the moment and that's with half of our members not showing up for some reason and without any of the new recruits.

But yeah, I figured you would be. :) I still love you. Just a little less. :shifty:

Ouch!
06-26-2013, 03:58 PM
Given that I only get to choose one free company, and free companies are most closely related with endgame content, I'll probably join the free company with the people I already run endgame with. :P

What she means by this is that everyone we knew in the part left and was replaced by people we didn't but we still stuck through it. Just in case people start thinking I spent the entire day with the same people and didn't try to get to know them. xD

Yes, yes. Ouch! is a stuffy elitist who only cares about winning. We know.

Also, I guess I should say so for the list, but my character was formerly named Cidolfus Atreides in 1.x; I will be re-naming the character in 2.0 when I remake him as a Seawolf Roegadyn. Swygwyrd Eyristyrmsyn. Try and spell that, jerks.

Del Murder
06-26-2013, 09:54 PM
You're not seriously going to do that.

Ouch!
06-26-2013, 09:55 PM
I am seriously going to do that.

In all fairness, the only reason I decided to go ahead and do it is because with the ability to click on a name to send someone a /tell, you'll never actually have to type it out.

You have no idea how tempting it will be to report you as a bot with that name.

Ouch!
06-26-2013, 09:57 PM
Given that it's a lore-accurate Roegadyn name, I sincerely doubt being confused as a bot is my primary concern.

I Don't Need A Name
06-26-2013, 10:17 PM
You're more likely to be mistaken for being Welsh than being a bot with that many Y's and W's

Ouch!
06-26-2013, 10:43 PM
The name is made from the Roegadyn dictionary and Roegadyn naming conventions posts by Fernhawles (translation lead for the game) on the official forums. I believe he did say that Roegadyn names had heavy Welsh influences, but I'd have to check.

It's actually not all that hard to pronounce, you just have to know how the name works. Every Roegadyn's first name is combined from two words, usually an adjective and a noun. In this case, Swygwyrd is made from Swyg and Wyrd. The surname is the name of the character's same-gendered parent plus -syn (son) or -wyn (daughter). The last name is made from Eyri and Styrm.

The full name's translation is Silent Word, Son of Wandering Storm.

Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, the leader of the Maelstrom, and prominent story NPC, for example, is Sea Wife, Daughter of Blue Fish.

Loony BoB

Yup, it's our server of choice, almost all of us are already on it.

EDIT: Just slowly updating the roster of our Linkshell, please can people let me know if anything needs changing. I've gone purely by memory & the roster in the character info page so far... will update it more when I get home, I know a lot more but I'm not sure if they're active yet in ARR / how to spell their names. xD

Help :(

06-29-2013, 01:00 PM
BoB, would it be more helpful if I just gave you access to the Google Doc to edit manually, rather than submitting the form a dozen times?

Loony BoB
06-29-2013, 01:20 PM
I may already have a spreadsheet that I'll be editing manually myself anyway, but it would be neat to have access to it, sure. Can't hurt! :)

I might set up one a little different though, that feeds in people's levels and whatnot. And, of course, there is always the Lodestone which has everyone's info and updates automatically (to some extent).

Dignified Pauper
06-29-2013, 01:50 PM
You now have access to the spreadsheet.

The problem with levels is that needs manually updated.

Loony BoB
06-29-2013, 02:20 PM
Yeah, I'm hoping that eventually someone will come up with a good sig thing we can list off on the first post instead of a spreadsheet. Y'no, like those old sig images used for the old Linkshell thread at one point.

Dignified Pauper
06-29-2013, 05:31 PM
Yeah, I know what you mean. I like spreadsheets when it comes to sorting through the information quickly.

I'm second-guessing my decision to join your server, knowing more about legacy servers. I feel like not as many new people are going to join those when they could join fresh servers, and I'd rather be on a server with a lot of active people. What would the advantages be of joining your server and your group?

I Don't Need A Name
07-03-2013, 03:15 AM
Just because they're Legacy players doesn't mean they'll be inactive players. Especially considering that a lot of the people are there because they enjoy the social aspect of playing the game alongside the actual gameplay. Surely a Legacy Server has more positives than negatives, with more seasoned players and die hard fans who, I'm sure, would be happy to help newbies with their questions.

comma
07-03-2013, 03:22 AM
I'm not saying the legacy players will be inactive, just that it seems like new players are more likely to join the new servers.

Del Murder
07-03-2013, 03:33 AM
We're the advantage.

Aulayna
07-03-2013, 08:58 AM
TBH it is something that I've been slightly worried about. The difference between leveling on Sargatanas on the beta compared to a non-legacy server is huge. Non-legacy the lowbie areas are crammed full of people questing and helping each other out. On Sargatanas they were barren - and getting a group for Tam-Tara etc basically involved having to get a group of 50s to level sync.

It's not that bad where we have a LS and veterans to help people out but at the same time I think some of the newbies are going to miss out on the "newbie experience" so to speak. For me at launch I just want to get a job to 50 ASAP and then just go back and do everything at a more leisured pace as I build up other classes - so it's not as much of a concern to me. But I can see where the concern is coming from.

there are multiple reasons why its hard to get dungeon parties in beta 3.^^" one would be, that most players dont want to spoil the story just yet. then theres also the part where progress is wiped at the start of beta 4.^^"

but finding groups should get easier after that blasphemous duty finder gets implemented.

Nicolas
07-03-2013, 07:54 PM
The concern makes perfect sense. I saw very few people on Sarg around my levels compared to the other servers I tried out. I know this is a beta, so I'm sure there should be a decent influx of newer people coming in when the official release date hits.

comma
07-07-2013, 05:52 PM
If we were to have an auxiliary branch of Fat Chocobos on a new server, say Gilgamesh, I would certainly join it. In fact, I'll be a founding member if needed.

Loony BoB
07-07-2013, 08:00 PM
I'm pretty sure that, come release, there will be a lot of people able to play with you guys. Keep in mind that a very large number of people will be leveling Arcanist from level one, even those with level 50's. I will do what I can to help out the newbies rather than doing endgame content when I'm not working on the Free Company. Endgame I can do later, it's not a priority for me. I know I've not played a huge amount with everyone yet but I'll be doing all I can for you guys once Phase Four hits in because that's when it counts. I also have Wed/Thurs/Friday off work the week the game is officially released and so does Danielle, so hopefully that means we can help everyone out even when they're in different timezones for a good five days.

Just a heads up to everyone, it's likely that the Free Company housing will be located in Thanalan. With that in mind, if you want to have different locations for your personal housing and FC housing, this opens up La Noscea and The Shroud for your personal housing goodness.

I'm going to be heavily investing in the Free Company housing once we're able to purchase it - in fact, I'm saving pretty much every gil I can for it. I'm hoping to get the biggest possible housing, even if that means I have to spend a lot of time gathering/crafting/marketing for gil. Should my 1.5m gil not be enough, I will welcome donations. xD We'll deal with that when the time comes, though.

I'm interested in knowing who will be taking part in Open Beta (which should carry through to launch) and Early Access. Feel free to let me know!

Any other information such as name changes and just general queries regarding organising ourselves... feel free to post them in this thread.

I Don't Need A Name
08-13-2013, 04:19 PM
The Guildhests provide very quick and large quantities of money, as me and Kukki found out after doing 5 of them, so that'd be a useful option for raising money if the housing costs any more than that.

I'll be taking part in Open Beta on Friday but I'm away after that so I have to miss the rest of it :[

Rockin'. I think the only senior LS member who will be on for the next five or so hours will be Valerna, who has character name Valerna Softpaws. I'm not certain if the Linkshell is active or not, but if you get in touch with her she may be able to add you in.

What are your character names?

EDIT: And yeah, just got word that Val can't add people to the LS yet as the rank changes we made in the earlier Beta phases have naturally been cleared out. It'll have to wait for Danielle and myself to get home in about five or so hours.

Hi guys! Just poking my head in here. :)

<3 this linkshell, it's one of my two main shells that I hold very near and dear to my heart. I was doing my BRD AF last summer/fall and Bob was in the group. He stayed until everyone in the party was done, which was pretty much ALL DAY, and by the end he didn't know ANYONE at all in the group (well neither did I!). That's the type of place Fat Chocobos is. At this point I knew I had to threaten to bite Bob's ankles until he invited myself and Vaughn to his LS.

FYI~ I will probably be slightly changing my last name and Vaughn will be changing his race and entire name.

Can't wait for phase4/early-access/launch and have our game back!

Well, thought I'd check in.

As you might know by now I changed my name from Lumos Lightwand to Lumos Lightheart. Vaughn's name has been changed to Vin Weasel.

As of last night a little after midnight our time (Eastern US) we got Error 3102'd.

Since we cannot get on our characters or even make new ones on NA/EU worlds, we went on Denmo's March of the Lalafells on a JP server (heard about it on Twitter).

http://i1364.photobucket.com/albums/r731/JillyBean622/ffxiv_08182013_155552_zps192f762a.png

Hope they get this fixed. It's not only a bummer for this weekend, but it's also concerning that it can go on this long without a fix.

Here's hoping we see you guys next weekend. I took the whole week off between the 24th through Labor Day US (Monday Sept 2). Hope I don't have to cancel that for delays. :(

Ouch!
08-19-2013, 01:35 AM
The encouraging news is that the JP servers are not suffering this issue. Keep in mind that until phase three, all testing was done on the JP servers. That means we've only got like two weeks of testing the new NA data center whereas the JP servers have been monitored on and off since late November 2012. They'll get things in order.

Yesterday afternoon I leveled Lagooshka Lunitari up to 16 before getting error 90000'd on her.
As of right now both my characters are error 3120'd which is why I haven't been on all day :/

Ouch!
08-19-2013, 04:08 AM
SE just announced that they're going through the list in the feedback section of the beta forum one by one doing a manual fix for the 3102 error. The list is several thousand names long, and I have work in the morning. See you lot at release!

Loony BoB
08-19-2013, 09:31 AM
Danielle's issue isn't the 3102 error but a "FFXIV has stopped responding" issue so we're really hoping that they can fix her issue before early access begins. :(

That Lalafell march admittedly looks pretty hilarious, awesome and fun. xD Glad you found a way to enjoy yourselves!

It was a blast, Bob! :) I took a zillion pics. I should post more lol

I sure hope Danielle gets resolved. I guess she can't log in anywhere, it's an account/SE issue? She can't even log in on your PC? Like, for instance, if she bought a brand new PC this week an dl'd it still wouldn't work? Not that you would, but I'm just trying to get an idea of the problem? Sounds like a nightmare. :(

After they fixed the 3102 I was able to log in on Monday morning and tele around and logged out at Bentbranch (for sanctuary). We got the error while outside Limsa near Swiftperch running around doing Fates on Arcanist. I would have worried all week if I didn't check to make sure she made it out of 3102!

Can't wait for Saturday! :D

Loony BoB
08-23-2013, 09:57 AM
Yeah, after testing on both our PCs with both our logins, hers will crash the game on both computers and I can log in fine on both computers. The issue wasn't resolved alongside the 3102 ones, so yeah. =/ Can only cross our fingers right now.

Right, I've done some updating to the first post and cut out anyone who hasn't logged into ARR yet. With that in mind, if anyone happens to have the time to go through the Linkshell list and detail anyone I haven't mentioned on the first post, that would be great - I'm at work for the next seven or so hours so can't check FFXIV until then. :)

We're on almost 24/7 these days, guys, so feel free to add any of the leaders in the first post as friends and send us a /tell - usually Danielle or myself should be online, even if we're asleep we keep the game running so we can ensure people are able to add us to their friends list. We've also promoted Bobby (Patroclus Menoteius) recently so we now have an active leader in North America. :)

I just started a character on Sargatanas! (Finally, the server opened up)) Can't wait to get started. Name: Omni Odin

My character name is Doctor Unne. If someone could add me, that'd be nice.

You know during my short time with FFXI my friend said not to be a mithra because all mithra are attention whores and I didn't question it because I was fourteen and I think when I start playing I want to be whatever the FFXIV equivalent is just because.

I just started a character on Famfrit, but I really just want to play with you guys. Hopefully Sargatanas will let new characters in soon. ;)

I was able to create a character on the server last week at 4AM PST. That was during a time when character creation was supposed to be cut off. You could try something like that if you care enough. I was awake already so figured may as well.

Thanks, Unne. I'm going to keep trying. ;)

Good to see the American contingent growing at decent speed. :D We were very EU-centric in 1.x because of Danielle and I only playing during those hours and most other EoFFers abandoning ship early on, but with the likes of Marick, Unne, Bobby, Kalen and others we should hopefully grow on the other side of the Atlantic in time, too. =] Our Linkshell is pretty large now, and our Free Company more than decentl sized, too. Can't wait for housing prices to be released so I can stop gil farming out of paranoia that the price will be huge and start focusing on partying with everyone again.

Also, Nico, looking forward to finally adding you to the Linkshell. xD

Please note, everyone, that Danielle (Smitten Kitten) and myself will not be around much at all for the next two weeks, so your best bet for getting added to the Linkshell and/or Free Company is to get in touch with our other three leaders - Bierhumpen Kukki, Valerna Softpaws and Patroclus Menoteius. If you do happen to see Danielle or I online, we should still be able to help out, but don't spend your time waiting for us to pop on. Val, Kukki and Bobby are all great, and I'm sure one of them will be about when you're on, eventually! =]

We are not currently seeking new leaders at this time, but when the time does come I'll simply select the person I feel most suitable/beneficial. It'll probably be a couple of months down the line when I have a better idea of who will be sticking it out etc. If I do go earlier than that, it'll be sometime after the next two weeks when I can properly focus on things.

Now that they've taken off the character creation restriction from Sargatanas I've made a character I'd like added; although at this point I've sunk enough hours into my Siren character that this will probably just be an alt.

Anyway, my character's name is Refia Leafgreen.

I just reactivated my 2nd 1.0 character to capitalise on sanctuary rested-state, so I'm on there as Despard Silverbranch as well. Somehow I was already in the LS as soon as I reactivated the character.

I'm officially hooked and will probably be quite active on both characters.

BoB got me into the LS and Fat Chocobos awhile ago, but I figured I should stop by and post get my name added to a list somewhere! And one of my friends is probably joining up to get into the company. He's better at MMOs than me.

Character name: Kappa Senshi.

Hey everyone, I assume I am who he was referring to.
I would like to join up with the community if possible, running around solo is becoming more of pain.

Just a little info on myself:
I like final fantasy a fair amount, more of the older games than the newer ones, and I like mmos too.

I typically like mmos with interesting pvp, so I hope this game gets some interesting pvp added to it. I have seen some mock-ups for pvp armor that might make it in the game and they look amaaaaaaazinggggg!

In game name: Relena Dawnheart
..if anyone wants to group up any!

09-30-2013, 01:57 AM
Aw man I was so excited to start playing but I've just made my character and when it came time to select a world, Sargatanas is restricted :(

o_O
09-30-2013, 03:01 AM
Aw man, again??

Some members have said that it only restricts when the server is full (as in full of logged-in characters, not full of character creations) but I can't speak for the validity of that. I know that when I was trying to register in early access, I tried to register a bunch of times over several days and it let me in seemingly randomly, as other were still having problems registering after me.

I'd recommend trying to register at different times of the day, particularly in US off-peak time.

Nicolas
09-30-2013, 04:05 AM
All sorts of neat.

As far as the character creation goes, it does look like it's off limits when it's full and there should be no other restrictions on Sargatanas at the moment. So you should be free to join in the late night hours for the US time zones.

Jessweeee♪
09-30-2013, 05:13 AM
Doesn't seem to be happening. I'll try again on my lunch break tomorrow. Mondays at noon is probably not a peak time.

Loony BoB
09-30-2013, 09:22 AM
For what it's worth, when we created characters (naturally it was some time ago in Beta) we found trying again a few minutes later sorted us out. Good luck, JessweeeeDING, looking forward to seeing you in game! :D

I'm hoping to 'do up' the first post in this thread. Gimme a bit of time and hopefully I can get all the characters sorted. Some of them I actually am not certain who they are (bloody name changes, I imagine). Noticed some returning characters including enano's character, Awrini, though. Here's to more of that. :D

Jiro
09-30-2013, 09:43 AM
I also suggest a change to Fat Chocobo ranks; I think "Wife To Be" is out of date, now. Face and I also discussed whether Git should be the top ranking, or if it now belongs to the title of Wife. ;)

Loony BoB
09-30-2013, 09:49 AM
As much as I love Danielle and Danielle loves the game, I'm pretty confident I will remain top dog. Most of the time she chats it's because I remind her to look at the chat logs. She's a very focused individual when gaming. But Wife To Be certainly needs changing, forgot about that!

Jessweeee♪
10-01-2013, 12:35 AM
Yesss I did it. My character name is Jessica Thierremont. I kept hitting random until I got a last name that started with the same letter as my actual last name.

EDIT:

What the fuck that guy totally wasn't kidding about the spamming. Is there an ignore feature? :(

10-08-2013, 02:12 AM
I run into people from time to time. I've noticed certain people in particular locations more often than others. For example, I usually see Shah Rostum in the markets, Melissa Yuri in Gridania, Viadana Solacaire... everywhere (seriously, I think he stalks me).

It's cool to do parties, Wil Hawkeye and I have partied a bit to knock off some of each others' hunting logs. Partied with Bobby and Boloki to do a few dungeons/primals too.

Dr Unne
10-08-2013, 02:54 AM
I look forward to partying up with someone someday. Being sub-50 means it's hard to find someone who happens to be online and be at the same level. I don't want to drag level 50's through low level dungeons with me.

o_O
10-08-2013, 03:02 AM
If you see me online, by all means ask if I want to do a dungeon or two. I love partying with non-random people and the only reason I'd say no is if I were short on time.

Rostum
10-08-2013, 04:41 AM
Yeah feel free to hit me up (Shah Rostum) if you need help with dungeons or anything really! :)

Loony BoB
10-08-2013, 11:25 AM
It never hurts to ask if anyone is interested in doing a dungeon. Not only are L50 players often bored of doing the same thing over and over, but many of us are likewise keen on partying up with other LS members and it can only become easier by knowing when they are going to go and do a dungeon. I always mention it before I hop into one, and I've not done a single L50 dungeon yet (soon... I'm eight quests away from being done with the main storyline).

Having said that, I see people all the time. I've passed almost everyone in the LS at some point or another - or at least it feels that way! I was gathering with Valerna the other day, I've partied with about ten people so far in duties, I always see Tony in the Ul'dah markets and often see Yosefu there, too. I probably pass Nolwe once every 1-2 days in all kinds of places. I pass Yeargdribble every now and then, Ceridwen too. I will say that you don't get to party up with people who have the same role as you very often if you're a healer or tank, but I still manage to stop by them once in a while as I roam the world. :) But then, it all depends on how much of an eye you have for spotting the <FC> bit next to people's names. ;)

Listening to everyone in the LS talk about whatever endgame content they're doing while I'm just sitting here leveling is always a little depressing.

11-12-2013, 08:41 PM
Hit me up if you see me online! I'm levelling my black mage, but I'm always happy to play as whatever (even if I suck at healing). I think it's fair to say a lot of members play for the social factor rather than the grinding/gear race side so wouldn't mind dropping down to help out.

I actually really like doing the lower level dungeons because it's genuinely boring repeating the same things over and over. Also, partying up with new people is fun by default because you're partying up with new people. The added bonus of course is that you can help more people progress and that means more people can do more things together, regardless of what it is. L15 dungeons are just as fun as L50 dungeons.

This will be fun. I'm only level 10 at the moment but I'm having a blast. Character name is Kehda Relanah for anyone who wants to chat with me.

Is there anyone else who will be doing the Lightning FATE events? I really want to at least be able to do the lowest level one and see if I can get some of those unique items.

I'll definitely be able to do all of the FATE events by the time it returns in February :D

If you feel like switching servers but don't want to pay the fee, now's the time to do it! You can breeze through the first 10 levels in no time at all (like, probably 1 hour easily), and there's a whole bunch of people in the LS and FC to help.

I've had to do some spring cleaning and some members have been booted from the Linkshell because we were heading towards the cap for members (128). Members who were not listed as active on the Fat Chocobos LS page (on Lodestone) were removed. Should any of these members return, they can absolutely be invited back in! I think they all had EoFF accounts anyway.

(Deleted) was kicked from “Fat Chocobos.”
Kalthalas Argent was kicked from “Fat Chocobos.”
Captain Abel was kicked from “Fat Chocobos.”
Cocoa Puff was kicked from “Fat Chocobos.”
Etheria Moirae was kicked from “Fat Chocobos.”
Daemon Crescent was kicked from “Fat Chocobos.”
Enyale Ahtnamas was kicked from “Fat Chocobos.”
Devore Jojishi was kicked from “Fat Chocobos.”

So, not sure who Deleted was, but I believe the others are Raistlin, Goldenboko, Necronopticous & Marshall Banana (combined), Ashi, nirojan, The Summoner of Leviathan (well, his old 1.x character, obviously he still has Patroclus) and *DEVORE*.

It's happening again, sorry!

Due to space issues, we have been forced to kick some inactive characters from the Linkshell. It's one of the downsides of having an active LS, I guess! The characters I've kicked are...

Steelyangel Goldpaw
Faye Khuba
Sepherenia Sparhawk
Mirage Askai
Claudius Howsaf

Nobody has been kicked from the Free Company, of course, as there is a massive capacity of 512 on that (LS has only 128). If any of these characters rejoin the game, they are welcome to rejoin the LS as well! We'll just have to perhaps kick someone ELSE out if that happens. xD

Alternatively, right click any Fat Chocobo member (eg. Locky) and click on View Company Profile. There should be an application bit... apply! :D

It'd be pretty insane for all three of us to be offline, especially when Ella and I leave our PCs on almost all the time.

So, I think I'm picking this back up either this week or next. I'm debating getting the subscription tonight even, but I wouldn't have much time to play.

Edit: I honestly don't remember how to play very well, so it'll be fun getting back into it, haha. I almost feel like i should have a new character, but I'll probably keep my old one.

Starting a new character might help you stick with it, just because the old character might make you feel lost (depending on how far you got previously).

I wasn't too far, honestly. I was just before Tam-Tara Deepcroft before my trial ran out.

What's that, level 15ish? To be honest, the leveling goes so fast (for an MMO) it doesn't matter if you start over or keep going with the character you already made. The important thing is that you play.

Play, Scotty! Play!

Hope to see you on there soon, man.

I got distracted by playing a game I am very close to beating last night. It will probably be Sunday that I subscribe again since that is my next day off work.

Resubscribed and am now just downloading patches I guess. Forgot that was going to be a thing that needed to happen, haha. I'll probably be on for a bit tonight :D

*Devore*
12-04-2014, 11:03 PM
Unfortunately I have loads going on so I won't be able to play for a while. :( But I'll be able to start playing again around late January to early February so don't kick me from the Company/Linkshell please.

Im starting anew so i can split my time with my Pretties on another server, but all the same I can't wait to start kicking the digital butt with you guys!! Im Kai Teague on Sargatanas too, the only thing I changed this time around is i started as a different class instead of being a tank.

I think after level 20 you can change your roles by taking the guildquest for the locations. So if you started as Marauder you could change to Archaist at level 20 after the initial job opens up.

Right?

Loony BoB
12-30-2014, 12:05 AM
I think it's actually level 10, but I've been wrong about this stuff before. And yeah you need to ensure you don't just reach the level, but also complete the class quests.

chionos
12-30-2014, 03:47 AM
It's 10. Haven't been on in a while (holidays) but I'll be back soon.

Hey I just started ARR and was wondering of i could join. I'm playing an arcanist.

Loony BoB
01-02-2015, 12:30 PM
Sure, just message one of the leaders in the game. What's your FFXIV name?

RagnorokKing
01-02-2015, 01:12 PM
Ragnorok King

Loony BoB
01-03-2015, 12:38 AM
Tried to add you but you aren't online at the moment!

The following people can invite you to the FC/LS, so be sure to send one of them an friend request and/or /tell when you get the opportunity. Just type in something like...

/tell Loony Bob hi can you add me to the gang? :)

Anyway, the character names to ask are...

Loony Bob
Smitten Kitten
Humphrey Squibbles
Lumos Lightheart
Vin Weasel
Ellanelle Nevaria
Bierhumpen Kukki
Patroclus Menoteius
Liara Lavender
Ravan Farseer
Tarantio Farseer
Chalumeau Fenrir
Valerna Kuchiki
Yeargdribble Fenrir
Despard Silverbranch
Bleys Maynard
Jessica Thierremont
Xabie Linden

Between all those names I'm confident you'll get hold of at least one of us! :D To be honest, I'd be surprised if you can't get hold of at least one of the top four during most hours, but use the rest as a good list of backups. ;)

RagnorokKing
01-03-2015, 05:14 PM
Do I have to be on a specific server to join?

Loony BoB
01-03-2015, 05:17 PM
Yeah - Sargatanas. :)

RagnorokKing
01-03-2015, 05:41 PM
ah dang it. That legacy servers full.
im not even sure i can get in seeing as im not a legacy character.

Loony BoB
01-03-2015, 05:45 PM
You can definitely create characters on legacy servers, although sometimes they are classed as "Full" - check back in 15 minutes or so and you might get in. Everyone here has done so far, even if it took some people a few attempts at different times. :)

If you can't see the Sargatanas server at all, you might need to click into another list of servers somehow. Check around at the server selection area to see if there are other buttons that open up more servers and you should hopefully find it there.

RagnorokKing
01-03-2015, 05:46 PM
i see it, just waiting for a chance to enter.

RagnorokKing
01-03-2015, 05:59 PM
sorry to double post but im really itchin to try out the rogue.
Which class would be fastest to level in your opinion.
I'm thinkin Monk just cause i can kill stuff faster.

Loony BoB
01-03-2015, 06:03 PM
Honestly? All of them level about as fast as each other. Go with what you want to try out first, see how you like it, and then try something else, and in time you'll learn what you love most. I'll note that DPS tend to have a less stressful job than tanks and healers, but also find it harder to get a party together when you start crawling dungeons.

RagnorokKing
01-03-2015, 06:26 PM
i already started a summoner on a different server, but im just gonna stick with it and create a new summoner.
I really dig the ability to debilitate and keep an eye on health.
...
...
man i love waiting.

Dat Matt
01-03-2015, 10:25 PM
Healer and Tank are fastest to level because you can run dungeons much faster. Queue times are much faster because there are a millon DPS classes but only 2x Healer/Tank.

That was one of the main reasons I chose Scholar over Summoner, actually.

Jessweeee♪
01-04-2015, 02:24 AM
Yeah all of the classes are super fun and are very well balanced. DPS classes tend to have longer wait times but there's no shortage of tanks and healers in our FC that'll queue along with you to help out with that c:

RagnorokKing
01-06-2015, 02:02 PM
got to the same level i was at in about half the time.
A lot easier when you know where to go.

Only just got into FF XIV 2 weeks ago, I'm a level 25 Gladiator currently. Just transferred to Sargatanas an hour ago tho if you guys wanna shoot me an invite! :)

Loony BoB
02-04-2015, 10:10 AM
Try to send a /tell to any of the leaders, Tyson, asking for an invite. I won't be online for a while now but there are people in different timezones that should be. Your best bet may be Humphrey Squibbles, being that you're in Perth.

Kozmos

Hey everyone! I was playing on Balmung this summer, but never really found a good group to play with, so I decided to reroll on Sargatanas. I'd love to join up! My character name is Kozmos Shadowstar.

I haven't played for a while, but I may just come back and transfer to your server and join you guys, based on the statement that you guys just like to have fun and not take the game too serious.

Is the LS/FC still going strong?

Night Fury
08-14-2015, 04:18 PM
Yep still going strong!

Leigh
08-22-2015, 04:02 PM
Hi folks! :) I'm getting back into this thing! Who is the best person to contact to join you guys? :)

Jessweeee♪
08-23-2015, 04:58 AM
You can /tell the people listed on the front page, which hasn't been updated in some time. Here's a more accurate list, anybody with the rank Fatter Chocobo or higher up on this list can invite you:

http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/freecompany/9237305048201953789/member/

Dat Matt
08-24-2015, 10:29 PM
Best person is probably Loony Bob or Lumos Lightheart as they are on most all the time.

Lumos doesn't check the forum too much though, so Loony Bob is probably the best person to PM here.

Hey guys so I just bought XIV on both PS3 and PS4 (I intend to play on the later), I also have my old PC collector's edition attached to my Square Enix account. Hopefully I can get back to the game I left back in like 2011. I'll post my new character info when I get everything setup!

nirojan
09-14-2015, 11:47 AM
So I'm in the same world as you guys and I'm a gladiator. Name is Darkmoon Crescent. I think I sent a friend request to Loony Bob already.

I hope I am posting in the right thread...

Thanks a lot, happy to provide any info on request.
