Just wanted to pop in real quick since I saw it mentioned a few posts up and say something about the bug where your quest gets stuck and you can't progress the MSQ. A friend had this happen to him the other day and after zoning out and zoning back in, he managed to get the cutscene he was stuck on to play and was able to keep going without relogging. So if it happens to you, may try running in and out of the zone a couple times to try and force the cutscene you're stuck on to trigger before braving the Hell Queues for a relog.

I came for the free kuponuts. I stayed for our new Moogle masters, kupo.

As the host of the Golden Gala, I wanted to drop a reply here and apologize that you didn't have a good time at the event. We host this event every year to give people a fun way to spend an evening, and it always sucks to hear that you fall short on delivering that, whether it's a hundred people or just one. One thing I do want to point out, however, is that a specific hallway section off of the Gold Court was mentioned in the event flier last night (see "The Dance Queue") as a hotspot for people to congregate specifically for the purpose of finding RP partners in the mess of bodies because we knew people would have issues like this at the Gala. I actually spoke to Rhos about this well before the event while we were in planning stages, trying to figure out a means for us to offer some way for lone RPers to more easily find RP. One idea I had was a sort of dance partner roulette, but honestly, we just didn't have the manpower to spare with everything else that we had to run and manage during the Gala itself. So the Dance Queue hallway section was intended to be a compromise; we couldn't afford to manually set people up together for RP, but we hoped that people would use that specific area to try and more easily find others actively looking for RP partners in the massive throng of people and unending, head-spinning chatscroll. Sadly, it seemed that not many people utilized it as it was intended. I looked over a few times and found a couple people sitting over there with their /LFM flags up throughout the night, but not many. I'll take responsibility for that, as I feel I could've advertised it more. But in my naivety, I assumed people would read it on the flier and I felt I was already spamming /yells enough without adding even more announcements. That said, we'll definitely take your feedback into consideration for next year's Golden Gala, and apologies again that you didn't have a great time.

We've still got six slots remaining so sf you're interested, read the information on our event flier and then either: Send Jaliqai Qulaan an in-game tell.

[align=center][/align] [align=center]THE SECOND ANNUAL GOLDEN GALA[/align] [align=justify]For the second year in a row, the Golden Gala returns to the Gold Court in Ul'dah! We have grown by leaps and bounds since the event that officially gave us our start, and this year's celebration will be a reflection of just how much more golden and glorious we've since become! We're offering more types of entertainment this go-around, and the very well-received White Oliphant game is returning -- this year with not only one sizeable prize, but several million gil worth of prizes given away for free! So please join Gold & Glory Hunter's Guild for our joint Starlight Celebration Event and Company Anniversary! Whether you come for the food and drink, the music and dancing, the photo booth, White Oliphant, or even the After Party, we're sure you'll have as great of a time attending as we will hosting![/align] [align=center]Read the full EVENT FLIER for additional details on the Golden Gala![/align] .

Gold & Glory is still very much here and thriving! (I'm just terrible at keeping this listing active!) If you want more current, up-to-date information about us, check our website and/or our tumblr!

I'm onto you. /suspicious squinty eyes But yes, myself and a generous handful of other Gold & Glory folks will be there as well! We're so excited! ;A;

[align=center]One hour 'til the Bountiful Chest throws open the doors for the Grand Opening![/align]

Just a reminder to everyone that this event is going on tomorrow! We hope to see you there!

Been pretty quiet on this thread, but only because things have been FAR from quiet FC-wise! We've been very busy with more new recruits, a new house, and a whoooole lot of other great things! All that to say, we're still here, active, recruiting and having a great time!

Oh yeah, I knew about checking of IDs at the door. What I meant was for when I actually order my tickets this evening. I'm picking up an extra pair for a friend and her boyfriend, and I wanted to go ahead and get whatever information I needed from them ahead of time to order the tickets. (Mostly because I'm unreasonably paranoid of the unlikely nightmare scenario of having to stop and get extra info from them after I've already put in my pre-sale code, getting kicked out while waiting, and getting locked out from buying tickets.)

Got another Fanfest-related question for anyone who bought tickets last time, and I figured it wasn't worth making a new thread. If you're buying multiple tickets, what information do you need from each person that you're buying a ticket for? Just first / last name that matches photo ID? Or do you need more information like DOB, etc.?

[align=center][/align] [align=justify]After the overwhelming success of the Bountiful Chest’s soft opening at our old, smaller venue and finally getting settled into our nice, new larger one, those of us at Gold & Glory Hunter’s Guild would like to invite everyone to the Bountiful Chest Tavern Grand Opening on Friday, June 24th! We’ve got a beautiful new space with tons of room for all our hungry and thirsty patrons, whether you prefer bar, table, booth, outside, or even now poolside seating! There’s a new performance stage just across from the bar for those who like to put on a show or just make a drunken arse out of themselves. We’ve got a completely redone menu ( LINK) full of dishes and drinks that’ll leave your mouth watering! For those who like a little rough and tumble with their drinking and merrymaking, we’ve also got a fighting ring in Private Room #003 for all your bar brawling needs. But most importantly, we’ve got a staff hellsbent on giving you the best, most immersive tavern night experience possible![/align] [align=center]GRAND OPENING INFORMATION[/align] [align=center][ DATE ] Friday, June 24th, 2016. [ LOCATION ] The Goblet, Ward 4, Plot 41. [ DOORS OPEN ] 9:00PM Eastern / 8:00PM Central / 6:00PM Pacific. [ LAST CALL ] 11:00PM Eastern / 10:00PM Central / 8:00PM Pacific. You're more than welcome to stay past Last Call. In fact, we highly encourage it However, at this time, Player Staff will simply switch out for NPC staff so we can join everyone for more RP![/align] [align=center]To get a preview of our beautiful new menu, check HERE.[/align] [align=center]GRAND OPENING GIVEAWAY[/align] What Grand Opening would be complete without a little something extra special? We’ll be doing a GRAND OPENING GIVEAWAY for your very own exceptionally bountiful chest! No, that doesn’t mean you get to take one of our lovely ladies behind the counter home for an evening. We’re talking an actual Dead Man’s Chest filled to the brim with 250,000G. How do you enter? By just being there, no purchase of raffle tickets required! The only stipulation is that you must be present to win when we draw at Last Call! [align=center]ON WEAPONS, COMBAT, AND CONFLICT[/align] [align=center][ REMEMBER THAT YOUR IC ACTIONS HAVE IC CONSEQUENCES. ][/align] [align=justify]We've talked it over and decided that outright banning all sorts of conflict at our tavern nights just wouldn't feel right. After all, we ARE a tavern ran and staffed by a rough and tumble guild of monster and bounty hunters. So we are no longer doing weapons checks at the door, but simply encouraging patrons to leave them behind voluntarily. Fistfights and such brawls, likewise, AREN'T explicitly banned. Our security staff will just be persuading you -- either by suggestion, threat, or physical removal -- to take all fighting to the sanctioned area, our Gilded Ring (Private Room #003), to keep from disturbing other patrons. HOWEVER, we would kindly remind everyone that your in character actions WILL have in-character consequences. This is especially, doubly true for people who decide to draw weapons and/or carry out blatant acts of crime against another individual on our premises. So if you're looking for a place to play out your combat and violent crime scenes, you're welcome to try it if you really want to. Just be aware of the fact that you'll end up surrounded by a circle of very angry security with a paid talent for violence. And you'll likely end up unwelcome ICly to future Gold & Glory / Bountiful Chest events as well.[/align]

Still very much looking for people interested in participating! We've still got two performance / mini-event slots open and pleeenty of room for both Festival and Concession booths! If your group wants to participate but isn't sure how, feel free to contact me! We can easily help you out with coming up with something that you could do!

[align=center][/align] [align=justify]The Gold & Glory Hunter's Guild would like to announce our upcoming summer seasonal community event: The Bombard Beach Festival! This event is an all-day affair, starting at 3:00PM Eastern and lasting until roughly 11:00PM! During this time, come to the Mists beach and enjoy various booths set up by the various Free Companies, Linkshells, and other RP Groups of Balmung server! There will be mini-games, goods and services sold, concessions and refreshments, performances, a Beach Bombardball (think beach volleyball!) tournament, and a fireworks show put on by Gold & Glory to wrap it all up! If you're part of a group or company that would like to get involved in the Festival, we are absolutely looking forward to working with you!

But boy oh boy, would we ever be grateful if you refrained from such things! The Bombard Beach Festival is meant to be a FUN, CASUAL event -- not a stage to carry out attention-grabbing, show-stopping scenes that will heavily disrupt everyone else around you. Therefore, please keep this in mind: If you decide to engage in these behaviors and your presence becomes disruptive to others, Gold & Glory festival security will ask you to leave the event area. So don't be that guy! No one likes him![/align]

Cross-posting this from my tumblr post, since I know there are quite a few people here who have or do currently run longterm plots for their FCs. Gold & Glory is gearing up to get our first dedicated, longterm FC storyline going which will unfold over the course of multiple events spanning several weeks. And I’ll admit, while I've run a lot of our one-shot / short term events, I have no experience running larger, long-term storylines. I’ve got the actual content of the plot more or less figured out, and I’m going to run this as largely free form (aka no extensive rolling or character sheets), but as for actually implementing and running it.. I’ve got some questions for people who have more experience! 1.) What’s the best way to get and keep everyone involved, so the plot doesn’t end up solely gravitating around one individual / group? 2.) What sort of pitfalls or common / easy mistakes would you guys warn against falling into? 3.) Conversely, what are the things that may not be obvious, but I should be doing anyway? 4.) Any other tips, tricks, suggestions, warnings…? Thank you guys so much for your help! I love my FC dearly and I really want to give them something fun and interesting like they deserve, so I’ll take all the help I can get to make that happen!

Just dropping another post here to let people know that we're very much still recruiting! If you're interested in the details, learning more about our Guild ICly, about the members OOCly, and the types of people we're looking to recruit, check out our New Recruitment Post with all the details!

Just wanted to update Gold & Glory Hunter's Guild's listing! We noticed that another RP FC has recently started to use the tag , so we've changed our tag to to avoid confusion!

The woman continued her irritated stomping for but a few moments longer, until she had found a spot by some crates and barrels safely out of the way of the workers milling about. Her gaze fell to the label on the outside, idly scrutinizing it, before deciding that she didn't much care who it belonged to. Turning, her hands gripped the edge, letting out a soft grunt as she pulled herself up to perch on its edge. The look that settled on her face dared any of the men carting goods to and fro to tell her to move. None seemed interested in taking the challenge, at least for the time being. "Aye, there's a time and a place for it, alright," she huffed back at Ryanti, lips pursed. "When some lumbering shite thinks he aught talk to me like a whipped dog just because I have more scales'n he has brains, that's the time and place for it." Her gaze rose to stretch across the length of the Crossing, glaring daggers into the back of the Roegadyn's head. Even as he turned and glanced back in her direction, the defiant, proud look didn't falter. Instead, she spat at the ground, eye contact unfaltering. Small in stature, she may have been, but she was possessed of the heart of a lion -- or perhaps, more accurately, a wolf. "Ignorant lout best be glad that our paths didn't cross in the Steppes. His pretty armor and the city's laws and the money of his masters might protect him here, but none of it would mean shite there." Of course, such was only the grumblings of an angry woman. A comment that was as empty as the wind she breathed the words into, speaking more of her own dissatisfaction with this new land's ways than anything that she could do about it. While she had adjusted well-enough in most ways, there were still parts of hers that missed the 'laws' of the Steppe. Coin and names didn't matter. One's own ability and strength dictated their place -- and their survival -- in that world. If you weren't prepared to fight for it, someone else certainly would be, and there were no written laws to protect the weak. Finally, her gaze dropped away from the Roegadyn, instead moving to the white-haired halfling fiddling with his boots. Though elements of the irritation still lingered, it faded slightly as she regarded him, enough to where it was obvious that her annoyance wasn't directed at him. "Sounds like your name is worth its weight in gold, Ruffles," she observed, tone neither approving or disapproving. "Can't say I've ever seen a grown man threaten to report to his mother and the other fellow pissing in his breeches from fear and not laughter." Even if the words that had followed would perhaps come off as abrasive or judgmental, she still seemed to only be speaking in her usual blunt manner -- not picking her words with intent to wound as she had with the man at the Crossing's gate.

In Game Theme(s): Monster Hunting, Bounty Hunting, Treasure Hunting, Contract Work / For Hire, Tavern. FC/LS Name: Gold & Glory Hunter's Guild Contacts: (OOC Officers) Jaliqai Qulaan, Ryssmyna Syvinmhaswyn, and Saraghul Qulaan. (IC Council Members) Klarimel Surtsthalsyn, Naoh Tayoon, and Akay'a Zhwan. Website: http://gold-and-glory.enjin.com Housing: The Bountiful Chest tavern. (The Goblet, Ward 4, Plot 18.) Publicly open, manned by NPC staff if no PC present.

Pretty much! We don't typically schedule PVP/PVE events, but there are a few people in the FC that do these things on their own time or if someone asks for help / if anyone wants to go in FC chat. Though if you're more progression-oriented, I'm not sure we have anyone that considers themselves a heavily progression-oriented raider currently. Most of us that do PVE tend to have a pretty laidback, casual view on it most of the time. So for example, if you want to find some people to putz around in Seph EX or Alex normal with you, you'll probably find a couple takers if they're available. But if you're looking for Alex Savage or to put together a progression static of FC members, you might be harder pressed to find bodies for it.

Thanks for the compliment! If you mean scheduled RP events, we certainly have those! To name some as an example, we've hosted an in-character drinking game night at our tavern last Saturday and a Tug o' War event on Sunday. We had a wedding last night, and this Saturday we're having Casino Night at the Gold Saucer. We also do things like RPing the different jobs our Guild takes, such as pursuing bounties, monsters, or treasures. Now, if you're talking scheduled PVE events, that's not so much our thing! While we've got a handful of people who enjoy and actively participate in PVE, we're by and large an RP guild and we don't typically have regularly scheduled PVE / PVP events. If you're interested in learning more about us, I'd recommend checking out our website. We've got tons of information up there, and if you decide you want to give G&G a shot, our application can be found there too!

Just tossing up another short post to say that we're now officially re-opened for recruitment!
