The end is a week away and now it'€™s almost time to focus on new beginnings! The RPC, approaching its 3 anniversary in February, will soon be in full overdrive mode for preparing for A Realm Reborn. Below are some things already in planning. Please offer any feedback or additional things you’d like to see to make this a continued thriving hub for role-players!
--Graphics used on the site will be overhauled. This includes the banner, the background image, and colors. The overall structure and layout of the site will remain unchanged. Blade is, to my understanding, working on a new logo. A new background image is still necessary and nobody has volunteered for that. However, one may wish to work with Blade in this to ensure the background and logo match each other in colors/contrast.
--The Guild Hall will be purged. This is being done for a couple of reasons. 1: It's hard to truly know who’s active or plans to be active in ARR. 2: Almost all of the data listed is outdated anyway and this will force linkshells to update everything. All original posts will be saved for some time in the Chronicles subsection so if there’s any info someone needs to rebuild their post, that won't be a problem.
--An aggressive ad campaign will be underway when the time is right! To compliment this, we will be echoing our previous ad campaign used in the past by creating a teaser site for known ARR RP linkshells. If you wish to have a hand designing said teaser site, please speak up!
--Working on syncing up the calendar sidebar on the front page with the one on the forums.
--Forum section names may be changed to something more simplistic for ease of usage. For instance, Hydaelyn Observatory ---> Final Fantasy XIV Discussion, etc. Feedback on this is encouraged.
--Addition of new moderators and removal of MIA/inactive ones. Who thinks they're up to the task?
--Considering changing the "Website"€ column in the member list to a Lodestone character link column. In addition to this, I may add a means via your user profile to add a main character's name to your posts (such as how one's linkshell is displayed).
--Please help expand the myriad of lore on the wiki. There's plenty there already but a number of pages are still lacking in pictures, detail, and so on! It's easier than ever to /add/ new pages as well with the new simple to use interface. In addition, don'€™t forget to update your character'€™s profile after November 11th! Remember that we'€™re about to fast-forward five whole years! Well...maybe not all of us
--Planning with member linkshell leaders the Eorzean Olympics via the Leaders'€™ forum section. This will hopefully launch within our anniversary AND ARR's launch, offering a large myriad of RP events right from the launch of the game! What better way to help reunite people after being in stasis all this time while at the same time celebrating three years of having successfully united the RP community on Besaid/Balmung, eh!?
--Journal/blog section. Please offer feedback on how you'€™d like to see this in the appropriate thread.
--Rebirth of a myriad of RP discussions during the server downtime to foster healthy discussions between RPers.
Please give feedback on any of the above you feel the need to and offer your own suggestions not listed here.
