Honesty...? Part of this I think is the fact that the world Square Enix has created is far to small to handle the number of players on a server. Like, if this were a single player game, 30 would seem like a big number. However no one at Square Enix treats the lore as if there are actually thousands of adventurers running around.So they pick a small number like 30 to make the player feel cool for being one of a small group. Like, I scale everything up quiet heavily. Would the grand tournament between all the Eorzean city states really just be like a dozen soldiers? No, not in my idea of it. For another example, I think must of us can agree that the Ul'dah in our minds is much larger than the space we see. Our RP's constantly invent little warehouses and alleys and such. Otherwise the Goblet would be larger than the actual town. Don't worry about the number, it will never come up and it's variable. Scale things up to fit the world we RP in, a giant bustling place, not the small maps with a few dozen NPCs.

Yeah I thought anyone who killed a Dragon was a Dragoon. The 30 are just like the cool kids club. I used Paladins before, but maybe Monetarists are a better example? There are only 6 rich people on the Syndicate, however you can be an incredibly rich noble in Uldah, with lots of power. You can be an incredibly skilled dragoon with the soulstone who has killed a Dragon... but maybe you're not cool enough to be on the cool kids club. It's all politics really.

Am I being crazy here? Didn't the Dragoon trainer keep his soulstone? Why would they let him do that and give it to an adventurer if there were only 30?

AFAIK The See has the official monopoly of Dragoon soulstones. You don't have a soulstone you're not a dragoon. You're a Lancer. So if you're not in the Order, you don't have a soulstone, you're not a Dragoon. I mean, I'm pretty much just pointing out why this is such a kick in the junk. They pretty much worded it in such a way that you're pretty boned w/o outright breaking/bending something which is fine, I RP with people who will be doing that. Why does the See have a monopoly. Apparently after you retire you get to take them with you lol. It's how the WoL gets one.

"I was one of the thirty, but I gave up my post to go adventuring after the war." Keep RPing dragoons, it's fine. No one is keeping a giant list of how many people claimed they are dragoons. It's like "Paladin" Paladin is a fighting style, but it's also a military order in the Sultansworn. You can be one and not the other. There are only 30 like registered in that unit. Doesn't mean there are only 30 soulstones or 30 trained dragoons. There might more trained dragoons kept by house military's for example.

I mean, there are 6 people on the syndicate. You can't really say you're on the syndicate because we know who all those people are. There are 30 dragoons. We know who the alive ones are but... why does that matter? Like, tomorrow there might be 11 on active duty because yours was on sick leave when they took the roll call lol. Like, it's not set in stone. You can still be a Dragoon. "I was recovering when they took that number." "I was training and now I'm one of the 30." "I got my soulstone from a retired Dragoon who taught me the art" "I'm a temple knight trained as a Dragoon but not one of the official 30." It's not hard to work around lol.

Ugghhh apparently they gave out some sort of stupid ticket. If anyone is in the merch line or has a red ticket, if you dont want a lore book i will buy it off you.

For the record I'rila is super cool, and no one should pass up the chance to send silly letters back and forth to her.

BOOM~ I'll be available on Sunday Afternoon for hanging out times with Taberlock. I'll let you guys know~

Likewise! I'll have to drop out as well due to a scheduling conflict. Good luck!

Next Event ~ Scholarly Pursuits - Tuesday the 11th at 1800 PST Rhanta Taberlock was a nobody, the butt of every academic joke. That was, at least, until her research uncovered the long lost tomb of a Seawolf hero. Now, she’s trying again, this time with the support and funding of the Navigator’s Guild’s finest scholars. However the island she seeks is far, and the sea is full of threats. There is no Maelstrom ship that can be spared to carry her, but perhaps there might be a group of adventurers who can help this academic star on her rise? This event is primarily reserved for the crew of the Sultana's Revenge (and the ship itself). There will be more events for new players coming up. Slot 1 - S'imba Slot 2 - Nuin Slot 3 - I'rila Slot 4 - Theia Slot 5 - Xarl If your name has a questionmark please confirm your participation! If anyone wants to do a roleplay with Miss Taberlock before the event, let me know. We can arrange something this weekend!

I would like to sign up for Salt in the Wound.

There are only two comics you need and they are wompf and nedroid
