I am new to Balmung. Where can I see a list of the Hosts/Hostesses, and how do I pick them?
Hi! You can find links to the list of Hosts and Hostesses in a couple of the previous posts in this thread, including my last one, but for convenience, here it is again:

As for how to pick one, basically, we only open once a month! i.e. once per moon, in game-world terms. It's usually on the last weekend of each month, more or less, and alternates Saturday or Sunday. Starting several days beforehand, usually at least a week or two the event will appear on the Calendar on this site (in the links at the top of this page) and then, as we get closer, in the Upcoming Events section to the top-left of the home page for this site (http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/).
The ads contain the time and place of the event, the monthly opening! The location is always the same: The Goblet, Ward 8, Plot 13. The time is usually mid-late afternoon, around 4 pm EST. In the half-hour or so before we open, customers usually start lining up; we do ask people to keep their places in line and wait patiently, as they will be escorted in one at a time (or in small groups if they wish to be hosted together by a single Host or Hostess) to the waiting lounge, and then to view the lineup of available Hosts and Hostesses who will be waiting to be picked.
After that, you make your pick, and voila! Please note that there IS a 1000-gil entry fee, which, as explained in Maia's post, above, is used to cover our costs in part. It's really a pittance, in exchange for a lovely time.
We hope to see you at our next opening! It should be, barring the unforeseen, one of the last two Saturdays of this April.
