Guess who's back... guess who's back... guess who's back nanana~

I was under the impression that despite the name, it was just a Garlean mage, who happens to be a woman. If it's a mythical type of succubus, who for some reason is Garlean, then .... okay? /awkshrug Still don't buy that no part of that decision was based on the player base being mostly younger men.

Because being super powerful and super scantily clad go hand in hand. (sarcasm) I really dislike game devs sometimes, or whoever is in charge of /that/. It feels so condescending.

Guess who's back... back again... I am not sure if Intermission re-pearled while you were gone, if it has and you still don't have a pearl by tonight send me a tell. See you in game maybe.

Welcome to the RPC~

I'll refer you to this thread and the letter within, calling the Eorzean Alliance by the name before it was in the lore Kinda had the idea to unite the shells, we all did, back at the LS leader meet up, but it got no traction. I am of the mind that such things need to rise from bottom up, instead of top to bottom... and the unification of actual shells seems kind of more rewarding than uniting based on GC... BUT the idea is /basically/ the same underneath. Good luck with it.

True dat but it's another IC avenue to find new RPers, and it'd make sense for the GCs to have 'general' pearls for use. It /would/ be cool to do some things as a GC once in a while even though it /can/ do it with others. It would also allow some RP events to be held that are in your particular GC's wheelhouse. "A magitek machine sighted in the Twelveswood south of Humblehearth, all available ranks of (so and so) and higher, gather at once!" - fun stuff. Unless it's abused I don't really see why not, and I specially like it being an /IC/ pearl, thus you don't have to mix OOC/IC to meet people, it's just straight up IC!

Welcome back to XIV, hope you find some RP~

Welcome to the RPC and FFXIV in general!

That sounds great.

Welcome to the RPC!

Hey there, welcome back to the game Send me a PM if you want to do some cross-LS RP! Or just stop by the Adder's Nest IC'ly, we're there quite often ^^ Also I suggest registering your linkshell here at the site so that more people are aware of it.

BIZAAARRO WE'RE FRIENDS

Everwatch Monthly Update VIII (May â12) Fashionably Late? (Or how we killed a spy) Better late then never! Sorry about the delay, between being swamped with work, finishing classes, and other IC shenanigans this is coming later than expected. This is Oskar by the way. Probably good to mention that. Certainly none can argue that the highlight of the month was the (partial) conclusion of a storyarch long in the works. Milton Cooper, higher up of the Order of the Twin Adder, was found to be a spy of the Empire! Why did he help pull Everwatch into the Order way back when we first started? Why were we, a relatively new company, given preferential treatment early on? A death of a spy my only be the beginning of a deeper mystery. While the group traced the Magitek from the docks of Limsa (where Aysun was captured by the captain of the ship!), to a remote landing station in the Shroud, the Vultures leader is still free and causing turmoil, although no longer building an (censored). Woodswatch is in the process of finding a leader who is up for the job of hunting her down. The reward for her head will surely bridge the gap in funding that Everwatch is behind on. No one has yet to receive their last moonâs pay! Why? Our two big pay days for last month, capturing the leader of the Vultures and defending Hyrstmill were largely unfulfilled. Actually, in a total meta fashion I want to hold SE responsible for our lack of participation in Hyrstmill, because of no attack/defense phase timers! However the one event we did host defending Hyrstmill⦠which was actually defending Aleport, was sweet. I hope to re-try that now that SE patched up the Hamlet defense system. Evaâs dad died. IC dad⦠donât freak out. A vigil was held for him at the beginning of the month, apparently he was something of a famous figure . Eva then took a trip out to her clan lands, and Oskar followed a group of Imperials who lead him to their stronghold in Mor Dhona, Castration-something. (I was actually out for a week due to the game failing to start!) Nelâs personal storyline involving the little voice in her head that gets her really wound up during combat is currently underway with specific individuals. The scope is posed to escalate, now that weâve found and linked a cult-type group and some bloody markings to her possession. Weâve also taken a liking to killing open world NMs this month, with that Goblin and Dodore taking a beating. Most of us have also unlocked the Garuda battle, and will be focusing on it come next month, as well as other endgame stuff weâve yet to get to. Leadership Itâs that time. Expansion! Oskarâs on a lookout for new Archonte(s) to help him lead the Watch, now that it has expanded and needs more direction than he and the other Archontes can provide. With Eva leading very subtly and Syesta busy with passion projects (I still don't get that one), the Everwatch would benefit greatly from more hands-on leaders. Several have shown potential, but with Oskar taking a step back this month to evaluate the members and their work, allowing room for those who wish to take initiative to leap forward, those who deserve the dagger will be easy to spot both for the current leaders and fellow members alike! Members I am happy to report a burst of growth within the Linkshell, which seems to come from the overall increase in Role Players coming back to try XIV again. While Everwatch lost a couple of new members with a lot of potential, we stride ahead with an understanding that Everwatch is not a fit for every type of character. Those who have stuck around are a very active, competent group of players and RPers! With that said, letâs give a warm welcome to: Aysun Lamia Flandre Nate Mercnauis Keisuna Aldeus Mitsuri TURK Really glad that most of those members are active, and I hope remain that way for a long time to come! Their initiatives to do Everwatch-related work as it pertains to occupations and so on, really got us back on track to doing member-created mercenary style events, that I am happy to see back again. Members have also recently have been asked to weigh in on possible improvements to the Everwatch, since weâre very much a democratic linkshell OOCâly, even though sometimes it may appear to be ruled by a tyrant IC If you havenât contributed to the discussion, click here and give your two cents! Monthly Mentions Poll of the month: Branching off the Everwatch discussion mentioned above, the poll asked for our opinion as players on which direction the Everwatch should go in, in the near future in terms of the general theme of the LS. Laid back group of skilled comrades: 1 vote For-profit contract organization: 7 votes Disciplined militaristic unit: 0 votes Other: 1 vote Most members prefer the current theme, which is that of a for-profit mercenary company that is trained and professional when on duty and laid back and casual on the off hours. Report of the month: This month features a report by Aysun about her capture and the events leading to it! Very detailed and well put together, Aysun! This report helped many who were not involved to understand what happened. Journal of the month: I hereby point you to the hilarious ramblings of a half-educated Limsan Miqoâte far far from home, Flandre! While I am not a huge fan of tear stains on journal entries (see the 425685 examples on lodestone!) the characterâs voice really comes through here, along with her more intimate thoughts she doesnât share when speaking with her, which really makes the read interesting, fresh, and funny! A Glance Ahead As previously mentioned, Oskar is taking a bit of a step back to let the other members and Archontes carry the burden of leadership, and in doing so contribute within the roles theyâve chosen. Aside from that, we will continue to venture into endgame territory while tying up loose ends of existing plots and inadvertedly starting new ones! With the influx of new members, those of us who have been around have a lot of work to do, in order to hypno train them properly! We will see what sorts of RP will spring forth next month!

The inter-racial thing is not too much of a bother for me.. even though it's not possible to play them, and most of the population in general is of similar race, my mind wouldn't explode if we saw more inter-racial folks, I'd just assume that a small minority of them were always present. A greater variety of clans would be cool too, which I think is the easiest for them to implement from programming standpoint. Either way, expand on what little you have instead of introducing something completely out of no where...

Cuteness...? What is he talking about? He makes it seem like other MMORPGs don't have cute races and the people are starved for them and since this is a Japanese MMO it needs to have cute races just for the sake of being cute. Uh, Tera - the latest 'big' MMO has two races like that. I love FF because of how it looks, its not cartoonish, it's not dumbed down to sensibilities of a child.

Welcome back to the game, and I hope you enjoy your time RPing when you get to it! Let me know if you have any questions or need help in game, /tell Oskar Helvig

Welcome back to the community!

Alright, so the info will be processed and summarized then? Sorry it's the first I hear of this idea... kind came out of the blue, unless I missed something.

Eva answered most of the questions the way I would have so I'll leave that alone. The game while being an MMO does tend to play, with regards to the official storyline, like a single player RPG. I really hated that in XI and hate that in XIV. It's jarring, the single player storyline and the multiplayer everything else. That's why I mostly ignore the storyline, save for the lore we learn from it. As far as emote, I personal dislike when people put their characters thoughts in their emote. I understand how it may be more fun for them, or as Riik said it feels more like storytelling... however it really cheapens my experience, and I think that's a little selfish on the other player's end. I do it sometimes to, just for funzies, but yeah... it's kind of like spoiling something before I can figure it out myself, or- not even giving the other RPer a chance to figure it out. It's putting words in my mind that I may not have used/concluded, it's making me react a certain way - question metagaming in such moments, and thus make it more of a burden when responding because I have to double check IF I had not seen those thoughts, would my character respond this way. It's annoying. Personal opinion.

I am not quite sure what the use of this would be after everything is gathered. Can someone explain?

Two of Oskar's ravens are sent from his office in the midsun to deliver the same letter to those to whom it is addressed.

Welcome back, I hope you stick around. I played in AETHER as well, as Mason Lermontov, but that may have been before your time there. I'd suggest looking at a number of linkshells, see which ones seem plausible for your character and go from there! I'm sure something will call to you. EDIT: Political prisoner, who attempted to take out the Limsa officials. She may receive a letter from someone upon her release.

Welcome to the community... again.

Welcome back! I play Oskar Helvig, but back then I was Mason Lermontov- you can see me in that pic!
