I have seen this sort of a grand hunt/open world competition done in other games and it can be pretty fun if you have good teams. Of course, it wouldn't be a 1:1 analog, but say you set something up with a prize to be one, multiple two person teams, some rules governing what is and is not acceptable during the fighting, and then let people cut loose. Granted, given the scope of the MMO, you might need to do something like have everyone in a linkshell together so we get a rough idea of where to look.

The En-spells that a lot of the beastmen use sound just like what Hermenost is doing (EnThunder), which I would certainly believe from a skilled conjurer. Calling forth stone is also something a conjurer could do pretty easily, although calling it up in an axe shape and sustaining it for a longer period of time would take quite a bit of talent I imagine.

I can see why there are not as many healer sorts in RP, especially given how much less likely it is for people to quibble over the efficacy of a fireball vs. a cure spell. Magical healing is magical after all, and, say, only letting a Cure spell shave a week off of a months long recovery for a wound purely for the sake of machismo does a disservice to the healers. Now, with regards to "but healing magic kills off my ability to have drama", we do have instances in game where characters with immediate access to instant magical healing still suffer lasting and dramatic consequences (in spoilers at the end). So obviously, curative magic, no matter how magical and miraculous, does still have limits - loss of limbs, neurological damage, excessive trauma - but by the same token, fixing cuts and puncture wounds should be fairly negligible.

Hi guys! I am just wondering if anyone (Soussy? Any of the Ishgardian crowd?) have collected bits and pieces of the Holy See's teachings; I've started taking notes myself now, but I am wondering how much of it I've missed.

My first exposure to the FFXIV RP crowd, and it was a great time. Thank you for putting this on, I'm looking forward to the next one too.

Sooooon I hope.

... so, um, hello! I'm Keerith. I've done a lot of RP in my days and played a lot of MMOs; lately I've been RPing in Wildstar and a few of the people I know there are hanging around here somewhere. I just recently came back to FFXIV, and I am really looking forward to getting to know the characters that live here. Hmm... other stuff... I'm a pretty chill cat, it's hard to get my fur too ruffled up. Whenever I'm logged in I'm usually at least half IC and almost always ready to be 'on'. I remembered hearing about this place back in the 1.0 beta days, although I wasn't heavily into RP in my MMO's back then, and hopefully I can find a nice RP group for my Miqo sailor-turned-adventurer to settle into.
