Greetings and salutations! We're finally opening recruitment for our FC. Paissa Enterprises! We house characters from all walks of life, from researchers to mercenaries. We have at least one IC event per week, whether that is an event of our making or going to an event another FC has prepared. We're an FC of people who prefer our RP to be grounded in the setting and lore of the game we're RPing in! Nothing against those who prefer to have characters who are more outlandish in their abilities or backstories. Paissa Enterprises <> is a heavy RP free company currently seeking airship engineers, artisans, mercenaries, adventurers, investors and more. Due to the nature of some of our RP plots and OOC chatter, this free company is for ages 18+ only. We are most active at night for you North American people, and during the afternoon for you Aussies. Generally the Australian members stay up a bit later than the North Americans. (Often active starting from: 9:30pm EST until 3:00am EST/11:30am GMT+11 until 7:00pm GMT+11) While we're not a pve/pvp free company, our members are very helpful. Our current RP is 50% slice of life, 50% adventure. Though with Stormblood on the horizon, we aim for 30% slice of life, 70% adventure. We have a large house in-game, in the Goblet. Thanalan is known for its commerce, after all. Rules: 1. IC is not OOC. 2. You must be over 18 to join. 3. Be polite/mature/respectful. No religious/political talk. 4. Behave in a way that doesn't reflect negatively on the FC when in public. (So no public erping, ooc babyrage, etc.) 5. IC actions have IC consequences. 6. The house is primarily for roleplay. If you see others IC, try not to be disrespectful OOC. 7. You are responsible for involving yourself in any roleplay. Nobody else has a responsibility to cater to you. In that same stroke, be respectful of private scenes. Small Summary of Ongoing FC Plotlines: -One of the company airships has been stolen! The company coffer has been cleared out! We know who did it, but where did they go? -It's time to head east! We will bring our spare chocobo with us, an exotic bird to a strange new land. Likewise, we will bring horses back to Thanalan so refugees can have familiar companions from back home. Just how big of an issue will the Ruby Tithe be? We welcome character's personal plotlines, if you have something you would like to get done within the company we are open and willing to hear it. If your chracter fits into any of these ongoing plotlines we would be happy to include you! RP Hooks: -Good honest work, mostly. When clients aren't shady. -Refugee friendly. Everyone needs a job. There's a lot of refugee characters around. -Got a character who's a craftsman? Need to move your stuff, or expand your business? -A good place for Doman characters, with a Raen being second in command. -Are you a researcher looking for investors? Maybe we can help! - The owner is part of the Ishgardian Clergy, though the company has little to do with it. If you know him from church, maybe he will help you out and find you a job. Apply at: http://paissa.guildwork.com Additionally, we can be found on tumblr at: http://paissa-enterprises.tumblr.com If you have any questions please feel free to message me here on the forums!

Mateus seems to be booming?

I enjoy people who ONLY want to ERP with my characters. There's so many of them! I like to feed them regular RP until they either get the message and continue along a plot with me, or go away entirely because I did not deliver with the ERPs. :lol: Which isn't to say I never ERP, I mean come on now this is Balmung. There's just a huge difference between a OOC thirsty RPer and an ICly charming RPer. Like a massive difference. I'm pretty excited for the influx of red mages because every 'sexy suave' character will be wearing that AF. Easy to spot!

Hello! Our fc is relatively new, we've got two Aussies so far and the rest of us are just night owls. Typically our events start around 10pm EST, or later. And we RP ...late into the 'night' or early into the morning. The FC is a shipping company, we ship stuff and go on adventures. If you've got any other questions feel free to send me a message here, or on discord at: Arvid Greave #6941 http://paissa-shipping.tumblr.com http://paissa.guildwork.com

How're PVP folks reacting to the news NOT GOOD FRIEND NOT GOOD. Some pvp fcs have changed their tags to <9Butns> everyone is going nuts. I can't really blame them? But I have faith it won't be as world ending as they say.

Everything looks so good I am so hype

There IS a pvp community. https://www.pioneer2.co/ pvppaissa has all the guides you need and the tryhard discord is where pvpers from all datacenters/servers chill

If they split the server in half and let me keep my house, I'd go with the rest of the RP. But if it was just 'lol move over there!' ...Nah, I'm not competing with housing all over again.

I -almost- sent an alt off with enough gil to snatch that last Lavender Beds large house on Mateus but someone beat me to it. There's still a LOT of empty plots there and the RP friendly houses there are looking pretty nice. Unfortunately I keep hours like an Australian, and when I was around there was nobody online at all.

I don't forsee anyone really leaving and if they do leave, they'll be back the second they can get back. SE doesn't let people take their plots with them, a refund on their house isn't much when to buy the house on Balmung from a flipper in the first place is insane. And there's no keeping your pvp rank when you move. The gil is a good start, but people will still see a loss with moving and therefore.. won't do it. I guess the stop of new people flowing onto the server is a start, but honestly I am not going anywhere. Some warning would have been nice though.

The anime short episodes were way better than Kingsglaive.

I only ever do the story if it's 'do 3 story quests a day' and even then I might just hit up earth shrine exploration twice instead. I don't want to hit the no-lapis wall :'D

I got her from points I didn't pull her and I somehow had enough mats to make all her stuff. I started making a second accessory for her but I'm not sure if she can wear two. I'm an Exvius noob lol. Hoping to get that katana from red orbs but I spent so many red orbs awakening my other units.

She has no idea what Balmung has done to her Miqo'te family.

If you find a lot of problem people getting into your fc, maaaybe it's time to re-evaluate your application process.. if you've got one. I think of my fc's app as a net to keep the weirdies out, which some people will shout ELITIST at. But y'know? It saves a lot of headaches in the long run. .....the app I've not completely finished yet, that is! I've been taking a look at fc apps from 'successful' seeming fcs, but EVERY fc is going to get drama in it one way or another. I aaaalmost don't want to recruit anyone at all and keep my fc the small size it is, but fresh faces are always nice to have around. People are just going to be people. Drama comes hand in hand with most social interactions.

Arvid wants to.. INCREASE HIS STAMINA. So he can sprint. Longer. Faster. Stronger. yep.

I have an issue of not being able to log on without six people grabbing me by each one of my limbs and running in a different direction. Shit's overwhelming and I don't even lead the majority of our events. Or many at all anymore. BUT I DO lead a small RP FC/discord/linkshell, my opinions just for yooou. -ECHOING THAT.. large scale events are difficult and everyone wants to be the center of attention. But only the 'officers' or 'leaders' get to have their time to shine. This is why people often couple up and do small itty bitty "slice of life" plots. Make small events so everyone feels important. Exclusive, detailed events make people really excited. I find people really enjoy IC dungeons, even if they're unsynced and you don't even complete the dungeon. Just the different setting is better than the usual 'world' setting where anyone can happen upon you. Make several events if the numbers are large so everyone gets a chance.. and that leads me to my next point. -Share the burden, you don't always have to lead. Let other people make events, encourage them to make events. I mean since the last event was about their character, they get to lead the next one and OH MY GOD ARE YOU EVER EXCITED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. YOU'RE SO STOKED. (Well you should be, I usually am.) Share notes later on what happened. Share notes IC, make the information sharing an event. People absolutely love it when events aren't always about one character. Also, YOU CANNOT PRAISE THE PERSON WHO MADE THE EVENT ENOUGH. YES CAPS. CAPS. PRAISE. LOVE. SHOWER. AFFECTION. It's so much work you didn't want to do, and they did it! If you had fun, let them know. Remind them how much fun you had the next day, the next week, next month. -No kidnapping Sasuke. He never wanted to be with you guys anyways, he's glad he's gone. If you get him back he's just going to get kidnapped again next week. Don't bother. Let him go. He'll come back when he's ready. Seriously kidnapping RP in general is ALWAYS A SHITSHOW unless it's an npc, and even then it's usually a shitshow. I have no fucking idea what it is with 'dark RP' and kidnapping but it seems to be the same slew of character types being kidnapped all the goddamn time, every time. It's especially bad if it's a PvP kidnapping and not a PvNPC kidnapping. Two RP groups stretching a character like a goddamn stretch armstrong is boring and we've all RP'd this exact same plot at least 30 times in our time RPing on mmos. We're sick of it. Even if it's 'well done' and the 'outcome' is already thought of ahead of time, 9/10 of us are rolling our eyes and holding our heads whimpering, WHY? -Join other linkshells and be part of other events, don't lead everything all the time. Even if you don't like their events, you can see EXACTLY what you don't like and what people DO like. There ARE secret societies of RPers out there who aren't just sitting in taverns. -Not everyone gets to be the strongest. Not everyone gets to be the smartest. Not everyone gets to be the best at everything, period. I find the biggest difficulty in adding more people to my group, is that we find new characters who happen to be the absolute best at everything and therefore contribute.. not much. These type of characters are just as bad as the socialite-only types and make what could otherwise be an amazing plot, boring and predictable. They can't lose. They can't be hurt. They don't want to /roll. There is no conflict, even if there is, because they always win. I have NEVER been able to succeed with telling someone their character is this way. I honestly don't really believe that there's socialite only RPers, just RPers who are unwilling to do certain plots because they just don't fit for them IC or OOC.. so they pass on it. I have never ever met a tavern-ONLY character. Even the character(s) I ONLY see in the Quicksand often have neat adventure stories to share with my character. Appealing to people is difficult and the most important thing is your fun-per-second. Even if the character isn't a fighter, maybe the character's just a chubby potion making nerd and they need some extra special herbs that grow in a rare place and they can't get there on their own? Are they gonna sit in a tavern and magically buy npc herbs? Or would they rather go on an epic adventure if the opportunity presents itself? Usually they take the epic adventure, if they get the chance. Even a bartender character who's retired will step up and go out if there's a good reason to do it. SO not only have events got to appeal to other people's fun-per-second, they also have to make logical sense. The more people you add, the more complicated it gets. :dazed: Hope I helped a little, even if ...some people might actually LIKE kidnapping RP.

I'll be around tomorrow at a semi reasonable hour. I swear. Woo what a nice way to start the new year!

Woaaah so much stuff! :thumbsup:

I got it finally. But they charged me an additional $15 CDN.. for customs.... so. Converting the USD to CDN.. $65.97! For shipping alone. I have no idea if this would have been cheaper to send to a friend's house and then ship, or not.

Someone posted on reddit that their usps delivery of the lorebook went from Tennessee to Florida to Kentucky to Canada back to Kentucky. Several stops in Florida including Miami. Mine hasn't entered Canada yet. Still in Miami. Yup. Mine went through customs, then went back to the USA, then came back to Canada. Got to Toronto (where I live) and then promptly went back to the USA. It's in Toronto again, so maybe this time it'll stay. Mine is going all the way to Alberta so.. we'll see what happens with that. I'm guessing Toronto is where it's going to get in so I'll be waiting.. a long time. And they FORCE you to pay for "3-5 day shipping".. $38 lol. My ass.

People who ordered the second wave gonna get their books before mine even arrives. :lol: WHY IS IT STILL IN MIAMI? HUH? WHAT'S IT DOING THERE ON VACATION? I'D LIKE TO BE IN MIAMI RIGHT NOW.

AAAAAND it's gone... and my money is gone.. but my ORDER IS GONE. WHERE IS IT. :lol:
