Charitable Deeds in the Desert:
Providing for Pearl Alley

[Image: AoEPoster_zpsdec49a09.png]

What: Street Outreach/Low-Level Item Giveaway
When: July 25th, 7PM CST (Convert to your timezone)
Where: (Gilgamesh) Pearl Alley, Ul'dah
Who: Play crafters wanting to give back to the community, play heroes who want to do more, play someone in need of help. But it's hardly an RP event if we all just agree. If you have a character who opposes these activities for any reason, we want you there!
Why: Even (or especially) in a static game environment, it's fun to feel like your character is making a difference. Plus, you'll be making a difference in the real world - for every character that shows up and roleplays, we'll be donating a can of food to a local food pantry. Showing up to hand out or accept a few loaves of knight bread will be putting real food in the belly of someone who needs it.

Description: Ul’dah is known for many things: a hub of commerce, a gathering place for heroes looking to make their fortune, a land rich of history as well as of coin... But if there’s one thing it is not famous for—it would be compassion.

This Friday (June 25th), Area of Effect invites adventurers from all across Eorzea to join us in bringing kindness and charity back to a city that could sorely use it. Bring yourself, a friend and your spirit of generosity (whether it be food, clothes, or just a kind word for ears not used to hearing them) and come make a difference in Eorzea’s desert city.
OOC: Basically we're distributing low-level items for free to anyone who wants or needs them, and RPing with those receptive. No one will be turned away, as long as we have supplies.
This event is largely being spread IC by word-of-mouth. If your character hasn't heard about it from their FC leader or over a linkshell, please contact Talin Rhela in-game, or ask anyone from Area of Effect. Alternately, he or she might have come by the information another way.

Area of Effect hopes you'll find the time to stop by and RP, this Friday the 25th, at 7PM CST. It'll be fun, and you'll be helping people in need in both Eorzea and our world. If you have any questions about this event, how to get involved, or how to help, please feel free to ask in this thread, message me here on the RPC, or send a /tell to Talin Rhela, Kalen Cook, or anyone with an AoE tag over their head.

Special thanks to XifangCrimson for creating the image, and mentoring me through creating an event. Could not have done this without her!
This is awesome. I hope you crash the server.
This is really amazing. <3
Best of luck, and I wish Balmung had something similar going on, to be totally honest. I'm sure you guys will do great!
Thank you! Your words give me a lot of encouragement. If you can manage to squeeze onto the server, you could always bring an alt (one-shot or otherwise) to the event. We'd love to have you!
Thank you to the Golden Sands and Envisage of Night for your IC and OOC support, and thank you to our independent contributors, as well. If anyone wants to help out in or out of game, we can still use plenty more supplies, and I'd be delighted to see someone who wanted to contribute or match canned food donation IRL in his or her home town.

The event was a HUGE success! Tons of people showed up to participate in various ways. Will post screenshots and a final headcount soon. Thank you so much to everyone who came out tonight, even if it was just a few minutes!
