Welcome to the RPC! if you have any questions feel to ask. We actually have super scientist here who know all the answers to everything (note they may not know all the answers to everything) But they sure know a lot!
A lot of people create their own story arcs whilst trying to follow the game lore or just by even following the events that take place with in the world. So if there is a festival players will react that there is a festival.
We have no say how the main story goes but we do have a say in how our own story goes, maybe your character is trying to find a lost treasure in Thanalan to come across a dying bandit for him to tell you that he was betrayed and that the item has been taken to some other place. Again it's your story you can choose what happens as long as it's not total lore breaking. My advice is work with the world around you whilst taking note of the events that are going on in the game.
I am not sure if I answered your question so I shall leave it at that.
If you don't feel comfortable with the lore or just need a bit of help then I would suggest looking at the Mentorship Program. Which is designed to help those who are new to RP or just needing some help in FFXIV RP. All the mentors are really nice and someone will be more than happy to take you on. Anyway I think I have spoken enough to welcome to the RPC enjoy your stay and feel free to ask any questions!

My question then, is this: How do you MMO RP veterans create story arcs and compelling IC events in a world that we essentially have no say in?
