For money wise, I am usually the one being in charge and I deactivated withdraw for all members so they would be depositing instead. The money is directly funded for Company housing and will remain that way. As for items, I gave all access to all members because they are mostly junk low level crafting items that we all do not really care to use, so it's fine. Thanks for the heads up in case I do trust and love my members regardless!

Considering that I was from Gilgamesh as RPer and End-gamer, I can definitely give you recommendation that Balmung is a good server if you want more roleplayer community. Gilgamesh has some limits, but they have some solid and good side of RP community without a doubt. Welcome aboard regardless, I hope you'll make the right decision and call it your home!

Word of advice: Never manhandle a Lalafell.

I've definitely made it, just that this game doesn't like to add people when they are offline for friends list. But I'll definitely let you know!

It is a far stretched goal, but I think there will be those who strive to do something related to crafting RP eventually, and I'd love to see more of these people show up!

Welcome aboard! Don't hesitate to message Ellaria Althene for any IC or OOC related questions. I'll definitely respond to you when I am not busy

Hello and welcome aboard! Feel free to shout a message to me if you require a RP session

If it's an event and you require cooks and merchants, Arcadeus Culinary Corp. and Arcadeus itself will assist you gladly Working for Culinary Corp. also gains you some kind of benefits.

Welcome back! If you have some time to send tell to Ellaria Althene, I'd be glad to hear your RP ideas since it seems like a lot of veterans know you.

You can always shout to Ellaria Althene if you'd like to chat How about joining my Culinary Corporation? It's not Free Company, but lot of potential to work on your culinary skills and roleplay with it!

Any time I see Nat I get worried I did something wrong even though I never should be... Am I the only one who is not worried when I see Nat? O_O Anelia only wears her AF2 armor while she's doing her job. But she's been wearing lighter armor recently. (even though she can endure herself wearing that 24/7) Believe me, AF1/AF2 gears are heavy.

I'll definitely contact the following people who are interested, or you can find me instead

Greetings everyone, and welcome to my little drawing corner and some are not really my drawings who'd be drawing for me. If I drew something I'll definitely credit myself and if I didn't draw something, I'll credit them. No Commissions accepted at this time because I just don't have time and I don't want to keep a false promise. But should I feel like drawing someone, it'll be charged free. Until then!

Unlocking first smallest plot sounds like Sim City (newest one) except that wasn't really MMO imo. But the way you said does sound a good idea for those who don't want to make gil. But in the end, there will be those who might complain that collecting token gets boring and impossible to do. And that's another result of having fun disappearing. But I remember Yoshi-P did say this during his first time when 2.1 was being announced (for this live chat) - something along the line related to: "... Only the players who have spent amount of time as they have spent amount of effort deserve the housings and rewards." In other words, even if it may be dreadful or boring - if you've spent your efforts on saving money/token whatever... you'll pretty much be rewarded. Whether it may be first come first serve or last come, last serve. I guess that "She", was directed to me. Though I am a bit confused about this statement.

What you are saying is that you really don't want to do anything that considers as farming or grinding to put an effort of making a profit to buy anything. Is that correct? How are you expecting to buy a player house if you believe that farming for Gil is considered as a job and feel that it is taking the fun out of the game? I am sorry if I am not getting your logic here, but I can see Liadrin's point - but your point seems a bit out of focus on what you are trying to argue.

Perhaps you've thought that just doing 20 runs of WP in a week while you are farming Mythology actually can earn you from 100k-250k plus selling the Philosophy Mats? That totals up to at least 400k per week. Not only that, just farming up at the Eastern La Noscea is your second choice to farm Apkallu Eggs or even Red Corals through fishing is considerably well profit for many people. Even spirit binding weapons that you receive from dungeons and turning them into materias consider well amount of money. There are always ways to make money even if it may be 100 gil or 10000 gill. Just because one doesn't make 100k-500k gils per item does not mean you can't get the FC house. Also, prices have been going down drastically to be fair for everyone. Going from 320 million to 80 million for large plot as well as 97 million to 22 million is a huge change. It's still a lot for many people like my FC too. But what can you do? And no, farming myths while doing these dungeons shouldn't really compromise anything. You -don't- have to log on 8 hours per day to achieve any of these. I am aware that you probably said that to exaggerate it, but there are many alternatives besides "Selling Primal runs". - and yes Crafting Philo items and selling them means nothing now if it's not HQ anymore. But 25-35k per gear is still actually not bad even if it's normal quality. I think you have missed my point. I have not actually said that this involves in my FC. I've seen people post like that as if they just don't care about what they do in the FC but just not contribute at all even outside of funding for FC. I think that's just unsportsman-like attitude. I can get my investment into my FC. Also I only complained about people should not deserve player housing until people can fulfill FC housing fully on 5 wards. Is that wrong? I am pretty sure I can't buy all 5 wards of houses, rather I am speaking for everyone's sake rather than people who want their houses on their own instead of helping the FC out one bit. Just because I complained about "No one helps FC" does not mean it was implied as "My FC does not help me". I don't know where you have got that idea first of all.

The only dungeon for any members should be afraid of especially WHM would be Pharos Sirius's final boss.

That seems to be what he wants, though. He appears to be upset that no one wants to work for an FC house, so they should make player housing more expensive so that people will then want to work on an FC house. No, because it was originally set by Yoshi-P that he wanted people to buy the FC houses BEFORE we even deserve to receive personal housing. Why should he allow any of you to have a personal housing when you guys don't even limit yourselves to actually fund a bigger house? There are plenty of other FCs who actually contributed because they want to share the house and RP together. If you feel like the FC houses are expensive, there are many other ways to gain money and sell items. Even selling shards/crystals/clusters even gain you money. Whichever works out for you. and FYI: I had been paying my own money to fund for my own FC. So please don't jump into conclusions before you make a simplistic accusations unless you are trying to insult me. The house isn't for my own. It is there for others who are in my FC. I just think that personal house is not needed as of right now until 2.6-3.0 because FC houses are still not filled up, like the devs and Yoshi-P said. They had been dropping prices down more and more and if people still refuse to buy them - then that's more delays for players to gain their personal house. I appreciate your personal attacks, but I don't think that still will change how I see in personal housing comparing to FC housing. I find the mind of people's attitude to be extremely negative and shallow because they don't want to share their houses with people and wants things for their own. Large/Medium plot size for FC house should remain as the largest plot for player housing should be what small plot size FC house is currently if that's the case.

If we had personal house as big as a FC house, then it'd fail the purpose of having FC house from the start in my honest opinion. Perhaps they'll have to make it smaller. Even though I find it upsetting that people won't care to work on their own housing or FC housing, I would not quit a game for the purpose of price being higher than FC house. Prices are meant to drop.

I am perfectly okay with not having armory system and not have limits to only one weapon. I find FFXIV's "one weapon" per job to be extremely silly.

*raises hand* Do I get benefits, paid with 401k?

My apologies if I came in a very strong statement on that, but it was really attempted to attack anyone. They don't have to choose on helping out on anything. But I also do not appreciate attitudes with people giving unwanted statements such as "who needs houses anyways? we are just wasting our time. Let's just find a random place to roleplay instead". It's either you can just say "I am sorry, I can't afford to help." or even "It does not interest me". Nothing more.

This is how I see in the results when they will add the following jobs in the future. Ranger - Relies on DEX/VIT and small STR Disciple: 30 Musketeer, 15 Archer Weapons: Long Ranged Barrel Rifle/Shotgun/Bow Corsair - Relies on DEX/MND/PIE Disciple: 30 Musketeer, 15 Arcanist Weapons: Short Barrel Gun/Cards Bombardier - Relies on DEX/STR and small VIT/PIE Disciple: 30 Musketeer, 15 Marauder Weapons: Hand Cannon/Short Barrel Cannon/Grenade Dark Knight - Relies on STR/VIT and small INT Disciple: 30 Marauder, 15 Thamaturgist Weapons: Scythe Red Mage - Relies on STR/INT and small PIE Disciple: 30 Gladiator, 15 Arcanist Weapons: Rapier/Shield Dancer - Relies on STR/MND and small PIE Disciple: 30 Pugilist, 15 Conjurer Weapons: Maracas/Tambourines Blue Mage - Relies on INT/MND and small PIE Disciple: 30 Thamaturgist, 15 Arcanist Weapons: Orb Blade Master - Relies on STR/DEX and small VIT Disciple: 30 Gladiator, 15 Pugilist Weapons: Dual One Handed Swords/Two Handed Sword (Great Sword) Thief - Relies on DEX and small STR/VIT Disciple: 30 Pugilist, 15 Musketeer Weapons: Dual Daggers/Knives Samurai - Relies on STR/DEX and small VIT Disciple: 30 Gladiator, 15 Marauder Weapons: Great Sword/Great Katana Ninja - Relies on DEX/INT and small VIT Disciple: 30 Gladiator, 15 Acher Weapons: Katana/Kunai and Talisman Geomancer - Relies on DEX/INT and small PIE Disciple: 30 Pugilist, 15 Thamaturgist Weapons: Mace/Flails and small shields Puppet Master - Relies on DEX/MND and small PIE Disciple: 30 Arcanist, 15 Pugilist Weapons: Marotte and Strings Beast Master/Rune Master - Relies on DEX/MND and small PIE Disciple: 30 Arcanist, 15 Musketeer Weapons: Shotgun/Double Barrel Shotgun Arithmetician - Relies on INT and small PIE/DEX/MND Disciple: 30 Arcanist, 15 Archer Weapons: Ruler and Abacus ------ If there are new DoW coming out in future expansions: New Disciple of War/Magic Classes Ashigaru - Possible step to become Ninja/Samurai. Smuggler - Possible step to become Thief and other classes. Researcher - Possible step to become newer type of casting classes.

It really annoys me the fact that when FC members or people have the set of mind saying: "It's ok. We don't need a house. We'll just occupy some area and Roleplay over there." That's just lazy and you have no absolute contribution to the FC. I've had to deal with them and that is not an optimistic view to the community and FC itself. Also, having personal house MAY be good. But if people start buying personal house when FC houses aren't filled up - then it'll just ruin the community because people will just prefer to party inside personal mansion over FC mansion since it will -possibly- be cheap. If 2.1's first pricing for FC house was ($320 million for largest) , then player's largest housing should be ($640 million for first pricing) so that players can't buy it and rely on Free Company to join, enjoy, and appreciate their FC house.

If an IC gets deliberately escalates to this point of OOC, it is your job to say "stop" to let him know that it's getting personal. Also it is very important that you are also busy or that it happens to miss a line to repeat it. Paying your own gil to buy something in Market Board is none of his business. Tell him that he needs to stop. There are many other options. You can give him warning to stop, and if he doesn't - move on and find other players to get along with. No one should quit the game over one person's harassment. Blacklist the person if he's bothering you and keeps pestering you and doesn't agree to stop pestering about this. Tell FC leader that you are being harassed if it's getting carried away. If it gets more escalated than blacklist and FC leader's warning, then report to GM that you are being harassed. You should not deserve this, and you should really consider finding better people to RP or play dungeons with instead if this is causing enough drama that you want to quit the game.
