A hub is...nice, but honestly, the culture of the server seems to lend more to finding your circle, and then finding all the RP you want within that circle -- and the other circles that intersect it. If one does not yet HAVE a circle, then the largest hub is the Quicksand. Outside of the Quicksand, there are several temporary, repeated hubs that come in the form of different weekly or monthly events (Grindstone and other fight clubs, social events hosted by various FCs, as well as the pop up RP initiatives -- among other things!).Â

Balmung seems to have gone beyond the custom of traditional/conventional hubs. That, and with social media more prevalent than ever, a lot of people take to those platforms to make their contacts and find groups that are right for them. Those options tend to be more fruitful than the hope of cultivating a new hub after hours and hours of presence and effort that not everyone may have the time for. If someone someday decides to do it, great! That would be super awesome -- but so far it looks like the alternatives have been winning out.

If anything, I'd love to spread it out enough to where people can just walk along roads and find groups/RP every so often in their travels. Something that kinda helps the world feel a bit more alive. I may just end up doing an event to call out specific types of characters to meet in a spot and try to keep it ever present. Just broadening the "circle of none" or making a 2nd one would be my goal here.. or create known circles that are open to general areas of RP discussions.

King of the Hill Dale GribbleDALE: Listen! I've never been able to say this in my whole life, but as of 2 p.m. yesterday, I am a taxpayer. And I demand $36 worth of service. I know the chain of command, starting with your supervisor, Franklin Thomas, all the way up to the under-intendent of Transportation, Edward Dibble, whose daughters, Pat and Ellie, played ladybug soccer with the daughters of the President of the United States. And I'm not afraid to make some phone calls. I'm your worst nightmare. I have a three-line phone, and absolutely nothing at all to do with my time!

Wish I had the clip instead but yeah lol. The matter now is where would be a nice location to divert RP to for any such purpose. Specific or nonspecific, it'd also be nice to see where others are interested in seeing it besides QS as a "main hub" so to speak.

I would suggest either the Aftcastle or Carline Canopy as more probable than any open world location. From what I've heard, RP /has/ picked up at the Aftcastle, Gridania is lagging behind.

Pop up RP is a monthly event that in essence creates an RP hub in the open world for an evening. We've used places such as Wineport, the Coffer & Coffin, Fallgourd Float, and Tailfeather and we get a pretty good turn out. Except at our February event (and our upcoming beach party), PuRP is nothing more than "come and hang out" BYORP, just like pick-up RP you'd find at the Quicksand.

The last one sounds more akin to my goal here lol. I'll have to check out Aftcastle more often when I get back in game.

[Balmung]Can we get more "RP hubs"?
