RE: The Wolf's Den - Gilgamesh - Lizzo - 07-17-2013

Remembered that personal houses will be quite expensive when they come out at launch. It seems that people want the Wolf's Den to be a physical place in Ul'dah and not simply a Skype chat channel.

This brings up the question - How am I to afford this? Since I will be starting a new character like the vast majority of you, I will not have the funds to simply buy property and set up the Den.

For those who want this physical place to hold RP events, or just hang out in your questing down time I put forward a second question - Would you be willing to donate to the creation of the Wolf's Den?

I'm not asking for specific amount of gil (seeing as we don't know how much gil we'll be getting from quests or how exactly expensive the houses will be - or what size of place Gilgamesh players want the Den to be.)

I am not opposed to hosting fund raising events and the like.

If you have any thoughts or ideas regarding this please leave a comment or PM me!

 I think something like this lends well to IC rp, people who buy in literally could rp as investors introducing new storylines and such.

I support this definitely.

I look forward to getting to know more peeps from Gilgamesh, as I will be jumbling back and fourth between both servers for probably the next year or more before settling on a permanent home!


RE: The Wolf's Den - Gilgamesh - Berthar - 07-18-2013

What a great idea! It sounds interesting enough. I would be more than happy to lend a hand. Big Grin

Do we know if the Player Housing will be more like EQ2 (premade/instanced entry to those w/access) or Vanguard (literally building the building from the bricks up... HEAVY on crafter support) or something in between?
I mean... are we looking at straight gil investment here, or can there be the RP of carpenters and such donating supplies?

From the little I know, I believe it will be the 'between'. The main building will need purchasing (3 sizes) but the interior decorations and the like can be made by crafters or (I"m assuming) bought from NPCs.

That's really cool! I'd love to join that! I think my character would be a good cook or housekeeper if you still need one.
I'm a new roleplayer, so if you have any tips, please tell me!

One of the things Yoshi-P said is that it would take about two-three lvl50's to buy a small house. So, if all the members pitched in a bit you'd probably get it in no time.

 Here are my rules for roleplay

1. Have fun if it isn't fun don't do it
2. Don't overthink it
3. Let your character speak, don't shush them because you think what your character is about to say doesn't fit. Your character will speak through you just allow them to, you will get to know them as time goes on promise. Many new roleplayers overthink or try to script out every little line their character is about to say. I say just react and let them speak, you'd be surprised.

Thanks a lot! This is really helpful!


RE: The Wolf's Den - Gilgamesh - Kyatai - 07-20-2013

Thanks Lizzo! You can count on me to assist in the decorations... Wink

And Fluffy... exactly what Rock said. Don't try too hard. Don't overthink. Don't worry about how you might sound or if you look silly... just let it happen.
Sure, you might mess up, look silly or whatever... happens to the best of us! Just laugh and move on. If you can, try to cover up your flub IC:

"We've never met before?! Oh... I'm so sorry, I must have overheard your name..."
(most RPers will take this as an honest mistake and play along)

(or... if you happen to have a shifty character type)
/em smirks, eying (the other character) thoughtfully. "Ah yes... well... that was unfortunate of me..." (just if you decide to go this route, keep the 'I know you' vibe on the downlow. You are trying to cover up your metagaming of seeing the "floating name" and using it IC... not making it worse! Tongue If played right, this could make for some great RP ops.)

If you can't just OOC it:
((Ooops! ignore that...))
or
((I -totally- didn't just jump up and run into that wall...))

But most of all: relax and just have fun!


RE: The Wolf's Den - Gilgamesh - Lizzo - 08-25-2013

Alright guys, after a long period of thought, and some great support from fellow Gilgamesh players, the Den will officially become a Free Company!

I am currently working on a LS/FC posting for the Linkshell Hall and hope to have it up this evening sometime.

Now called "Wulver's Den" (since the Coliseum is the Wolves Den), the Free Company will focus on Tavern RP, as well as PVE adventuring, questing and dungeon crawling, eventually endgame content and raiding.


I will be posting the link to the Den's LS/FC post when it is up and running.
