#ffxiv rp event calendar

[erahsae-ffxiv]

Crystal Archives

I've heard off and on some want for a communal profile collection, a place to post stories, and find events all under one roof since the old RPC went down. Chaos had created their own replacement but was very local to their own data-center. That same group has been building a version for the Crystal data-center at https://crystalarchives.org/

There is also a Dalamud mod for viewing this profile information in game not unlike the early days of TRP on WoW.

While the site has been up for a while, it now also imports the roleplay events from the FFXIV RP Event Calendar, giving another easy way to keep up with what is happening when.

RP Resource

While I am getting ready for my panel about roleplaying at Aethercon next Sunday I would also like to share a roleplaying resource with you all. It can be set to your data center! Thank you @morganabrowne for sharing this with me.

[kikisqueaks]

I miss when Tumblr was the place to find FFXIV RP peeps and evens.

There's still the RP Event Calendar, at least. I think.

where the hell do people go to find people to rp with that isnt a fucking nightclub or the quicksands. theyre going to flay eleutherios alive out there. where the hell are the ascian rpers. do they even exist.

[balmungrpcalendar]

“The time has come,” the Moogle said,

”To talk of many things: Of events -- and venues -- and calendars -- Of discord bots -- and things” or: 4.5, Server Guesting and the fate of the Balmung RP Calendar. 

I always knew this day would come.  A day where the calendar outgrows it’s original purpose.  So, that day was announced and it comes in late patch 4.5 (read: sometime in March) according to the information we’ve received from Fanfest.

This means the Calendar will be going through a bit of a trans-formative change.  Once things are ready, the word ‘Balmung’ will be removed from the primary name and an the ffxivrpcalendar tumblr will become a cluster (or maybe game wide) RP Event calendar.   Sub calenders will exist on the datacenter and the server level.  (Yay for tumblr automation!) The url of the static webpage will be changing to ffxiv-rp.org.  Indivudal server calendars will move to places like balmung.ffxiv-rp.org, mateus.ffxiv-rp.org, or even omega.ffxiv-rp.org.  Datacenter sites will be crystal.ffxiv-rp.org, aether.ffxiv-rp-org and the like.   The discord bot will also be going through a similar transformative state and have the potential to service the game as a whole while letting individual discords filter down to only what they want to see, be it server only, data center only, or maybe cherry pick a few servers of your choosing. Along with this change, the Venue listing will be making a return.  There  is, technically, one still around if you know where to look, but it hasn’t been updated in years.  More details on that are forthcoming. We will endeavor to work with existing server calendars and event handling groups to see how we can support the community as a whole.   I’m looking forward to our changes to spread beyond our home servers in the future.  A larger, more unified RP community is not a bad thing at all. As always we look forward to your feedback to help guide the calendar in it’s evolution.

I know it's been said in the replies, but I wanna reblog incase others aren't aware, but there's an RP event calendar you might find helpful:

I've been recently thinking about getting back into RP myself, so I've been scanning the calendar and bookmarking venues/events that my OCs might be interested in. :D

Actually, incase this also helps, I know some people keep lists or spreadsheets. Personally, I have a private Discord that I used to copy/paste urls.

The way I do it, each of my OCs has their own category, and then they have channel of days of the week, just to make it easier for me to find whenever I'm ready to RP.

MANNN I wanna RP so bad but all I can see in-game are night clubs.

A call for feedback: Events selling 'services' on the RP Event Calendar

We've been getting a lot of push back over the years about events that exist to charge gil (or offer services for discord boosting) for host services, etc.  There is currently a hard ban for legal reasons on charging for ERP services as well, and we're getting more and more reports of 'services' being 'ERP services'. We've been asking about a number of RP communities and based on feedback we've been getting are considering removing events selling role-play.  ex:  (500k gil for a 30 min private RP session) and letting the calendar focus on things that are role-play for the sake of role-play.

However, I don't want to make this change in isolation as this will be the first actual change in policy for the event calendar in the last 3-4 years.  Any feedback would be welcome.   Either reply or email us at ffxiv.rp.events@gmail.com.

[wyrmguardsecrets]

Is the ffxiv rp community in decline? Haven’t been playing mmos and been thinking about getting back into RP. I just want a lush and full RP environment.

no, it's still v much alive and kickin. i recommend looking up the ffxiv event calendar (it's an addon and a discord) and you'll find a bunch of different events to go to. casual, 18+, fight nights - there's a lot to choose from and usually about 10+ a day/night, especially during the weekends.

[autumnslance]

how do you get into roleplaying on a ff server? like how do you do it and how do you know if your character is lore compliant? ;A; pls youre a big inspo to me

*Hugs Nonny* Getting into RP on a FF server can vary; I don’t actually RP much these days, outside of some friends I already have connections to--and that in itself can be difficult just due to Life! It can take time, and patience, and some fits and starts.

And this gets...really really long, so buckle up and go below the cut, please. :)

The cut got broken by an edit. Sigh.

In game there’s always the RP status tag, and just doing RP with folks in public spaces. There may be trolls now and then, but they can be ignored. I personally find Balmung’s Quicksand area too busy and anxiety inducing and not actually all that conducive to actual RP, even “meet at a tavern” walk-up type. But unless you already have a ready-made group of friends/FCmates willing to RP more than some random walk-ups with you, it may take some legwork to find folks you can and want to write with.

Social Media There are a couple of RP community blogs, like @mooglemeet​ and @ffxiv-crystal-rp​  and plenty of server-specific ones. There’s also some Discords for these communities. They host and advertise events and reblog people who are looking for RP contacts. Some of them have running gdoc calendars and in game linkshells and fellowships as well.

Shofie has a good post about Tumblr/social media RP blogging.

@shofie-ffxiv

It’s a fact now that social media outside game is a way to make contacts, or even a medium for RP itself. There are few centralized websites/forums for server RP communities anymore. Making connections over your social media, like Tumblr and Twitter, can help find RP. You can’t just throw your own character info out there or reblog prompts hoping others bite, though; you have to put in some work and show interest in others, too. This can be difficult and even scary. That’s OK.

RP is about collaboration and creating with other people, which means finding folks you can write with, and who see you as someone interesting but also interested in them and their OCs. If you want to keep it a solo endeavor focused on your own OCs, write fanfic (which I’ve actually made friends and gotten RP interests that way too through comment interactions, so hey).

If you reblog a prompt from someone, see others on your dash reblogging prompts, if people reblog that prompt post from you? Send them asks! Alternatively, don’t wait for prompts, just send asks, comments, or chats saying hello and things you notice or like about their blog/character/posts they make. Try to form connections with people you think are genuinely interesting and might be fun to talk with. Social media should be, well, social.

BUT respect boundaries, too. Don’t try sarcasm or jokes with people you don’t actually know, it tends to go over poorly. Unless someone’s specifically posting a naughty meme/prompt, keep stuff you others send clean and polite, especially if it’s unsolicited and you’re not already friends (doubly so if you don’t know how old they are IRL, there are laws you do not want to break). Respect if people aren’t open to random asks or chatting with new followers, or say “no” to RP, and know it’s not personal--it’s just what they have time, energy, and emotional/mental capacity for. Don’t give up on other people, though. This stuff can take time and effort to find those you click with.

Respect and communication with RP partners is pretty key.

Do curate your feeds and don’t be afraid to unfollow/mute/block folks, either. I’m selective in who I follow and remove as needed, too, for my own mental health. I miss so much of the discourse and drama and that’s fine by me. Also it costs nothing to not step in on a lot of the drama when it does pass in sight.

Profiles I have static RP profile pages for my girls here on Tumblr (and a lot of other static links and pages, but I’m weird about organizing like that). This way, if people want to write with me, send me prompts, if I sent them prompts, or they want to otherwise interact with my characters, the information is handily available. For some folks, this makes all the difference in who they choose to interact with: how easily can they find even basic info about your OC?

Some people make Carrds. Some folks have gdoc links, or use Dreamwidth, etc. Just keep the links in the blog’s sidebar menu, and/or in the blog desc so people can see ‘em on mobile. There are templates out there, or you can make your own. Feel free to snag mine if you’d like. A lot of times people also copy their profiles to rebloggable posts when looking for RP contacts. Profiles are a good way to let folks know just the at-a-glance basics about your character(s).

I picked a simple theme with a simple layout that makes it easy to add and show off links. I put them in the blog desc to make them easy to find on mobile, too.

[Images: links from my blog sidebar menu showing how over organized I am]

RP, Stories, Lore Post some stories or RP logs (with permission of others involved) or even just random little blurbs and headcanons, as well as any screenshots, art, aesthetic posts for your OCs. Have something of interest to show for your character, too, so some of those folks your interacting with have something of their own to see and ask about!

If possible, try some light RP with friends and FC Mates who are amenable. Go to events, even if just to lurk at first. When you do get up the nerve to talk to people, don’t try to throw a character’s entire backstory at them, or try to steal the limelight--RP is collaboration, back and forth, and a lot like real conversation. Maybe come up with little light things to talk about if asked; a recent adventuring job, a silly shopping incident, etc. They can break the ice or just give you something to reply with for a few minutes.

Lore Compliance is Variable. Some people really want lore compliance, others are OK bending it here and there, while still others throw it out the window entirely. If you want to be super lore compliant...read. There’s a LOT of information, in game and out, for finding lore; from official publications and website material, to tools like Garland Tools site, to compilation blogs like @mirkemenagerie.

Note what’s important for your concept. Narrow it down. Characters aren’t going to know or be or do everything, so only worry about what’s necessary for the base idea. And be flexible; it’s SE’s sandbox, we just play in it, and they can change things any time. They usually do it in the guise of characters not knowing/having all the correct information, at least, but also some places just don’t exist in game yet so we don’t have info.

I’m unspecific about a lot of elements of Aeryn’s childhood, for instance, other than “traveling merchants near Thavnair.” I don’t have to be super specific. I can keep most details vague, and focus on her family and those relationships.

Dark, as my first character, has a fairly simple backstory that I’ve expanded on and adjusted over time as I learned and came up with new info. I also bet no one remembers I originally said Dark was from the North Shroud. I’ve changed things (now from East Shroud, due to the proximity to Gyr Abania and its Hellsguards) as I learned more about the world and my character. You don’t want to change things willy-nilly, but sometimes being flexible and smoothing down some rough edges and making small changes can be fine, especially as one gets more lore over time.

Iyna has a pretty detailed backstory, that came from a basic idea, and checking dates in the pre-Calamity timeline. I based her being taken and trained the way she was not only on what info we have about Garlemald’s imperial practices with conquered provinces, but borrowed a bit from real life and the re-education schools many Native Americans were forced into (though I haven’t gone into detail on that yet, either). I tied the turning point in Iyna’s life to a major event that wasn’t the Calamity, and have left plenty of space in between for me to fill in as time goes on and I learn more about her and the world.

The world isn’t static, and is bigger and more diverse than what can be shown in the game. There’s space in the margins for plenty of weird stuff and contradictions or unusual cases. So read up on what you can, ask questions, and then find where in those spaces your OC fits. Then, find people who enjoy similar tastes in lore compliance (or non-compliance), and who enjoy playing with you and your OCs, and not worrying about the rest. Can’t please everyone, nor get along with everyone, so don’t try; just find what works for you, and who works with you, and don’t police anyone else’s pretendy fun times, either.

There’s no magic answer on the “right” amount of lore compliance, or how to quickly and easily find RP partners or break into the broader RP community.

I hope this helps at least a little bit! Good luck in finding your niche for RP, and maybe I’ll see you sometime at an event :)

[barheim]

Thanks for expressing interest in the Barheim Brewery! My name is Faynish. I started up the Dalmascan RP Hub on FFXIV’s Crystal Datacenter so that Dalmascan roleplayers, freedom fighters or not, could have a place to network and get to know each other. In order to facilitate that goal, I run tavern events in Rabanastre every Sunday at the Brewery, and occasionally put on plot events or hunt events. Attendees are rewarded with Sun Crest Seals which can then be traded in for prizes at one’s leisure. We aren’t an FC, but we are an in-game Fellowship with a discord and two CWLS (one OOC, one IC). You don’t need to join any of these, but if you would like to stay involved please let me know and I’ll toss out invites. This tumblr will serve as an event announcement board and calendar.

ABOUT THE BREWERY:

Barheim Brewery is located in game at [Zalera] Goblet W14 P2, and IC-ly located in Rabanastre. It serves as a secret front for the Sun Crest Resistance Unit, with all other Dalmascan resistance units being welcome to make use of its location and amenities.

However, this is well-guarded secret. If your character is Dalmascan and/or loyal to the Resistance, please feel free to use the back room (hidden behind a wall in the bar’s WC downstairs) as needed. But no spying or sabotage is permitted.

Garlean patronage is of course welcome, seeing as Garleans have the run of Rabanastre. Tumelo will never turn away a Garlean’s coin, unless the Garlean in question is causing trouble. The one big rule: no fighting.

CONTACT: You can reach me on Discord at faynish#7408, or in game on Tumelo Zertinan@Zalera (the head barkeep at Barheim Brewery).
