Updated. Hopefully I got all of that right.

I wouldn't worry about the troll, guys. He/she will continue to whine, no matter the response to their immature posts. When it comes down to the name, I think names will grow on us. The server will be defined by us, by our community, and by our experiences, and soon we'll have a great deal of pride for the name. It's just change, and change is often difficult for everyone, even if it can be good.

I couldn't agree more, Soren.

Armi, okay, okay. Okay. We get it. After the like, sixth time. We get it.

Great work, guys.

You know, I will honestly admit that when you first came to me with the idea of the RPC, it had already been suggested to me by other individuals. Except, with you, it was not only idea, but fact. You went the distance. You reached out to the linkshell leaders who were busy running their own groups. You kept everyone in communication. I thought, when you began the RPC, that it would be a small coalition of linkshells, not 500 strong before the game has even been released. I have never been so happy to be wrong. I never dreamed of a cooperative role-play group of this magnitude. Perhaps some in Aion and other games are used to it - but I'm certainly not. I'm both awed and filled with pride over what you have managed to accomplish. Thank you, Cas.

CURRENT RECRUITING STATUS: 2 NA Slots Open No EU Limit Due to the fact that the Stormguard is already brimming with members, we want to give us all a chance to get to know one another and figure out Game Launch together, so we are instituting a 25 member limit on NA players. We currently have TWO slots open, and will accept applications for those slots. Note that we will probably open up the limit once things ease up after the game launches, but until then, we need to keep our member numbers under control. Because of the relatively small EU player base, we are not instituting a limit on EU players applications at this time.

Perhaps stating a certain purpose on the site will help people understand what it is and how it is different from the RPC.

I've also noted that Menphina's description notes that she's the goddess of the twin moons. So it's possible we'll have a two-moon system. That may be why there is an Astral moon and an Umbral moon.

SE has confirmed, however, that there are more playable jobs than what they've released so far. They wanted to release most of the craft jobs first to get the economy going, then release more DOW, DOM jobs.

I give up. I'm with you Cas. I can't wait until this damn thing is over.

Actually, we aren't voting about just the name. There are many repercussions with choosing the right or wrong server. We could have to deal with a non-rp linkshell that is hostile toward others. We could have to deal with either an overcrowded, or on the other side of the coin, underdeveloped population that could have lasting effects on our economy. There are certain things everyone needs to keep in mind when choosing the server we'll all be using.

Thanks!

Honestly, I chose a Hyur male because he is an alternate version of my Hume male from XI. In XI, I chose Hume, because he was actually a character in the back of my mind that I wanted to play but didn't have a place for. For ten years, he's grown from a thief and vagabond of Celtic origin to a knight and leader of a secret guard. I'm kind of proud of the way his story has metamorphosed. Anyway, I've had yearnings of playing a cute Miqo'te or graceful Elezen, but in the end, I like him perfectly fine as an Ishgardian Hyur.

Yes. You can.

Bumping Castiel's question.

This is why I need to start writing things down when I go on my lore hunts. :lol:

The only thing I read in the Customs office was that they confiscate illegal contraband from all over Hydaelyn. I didn't see the Garlean Empire specifically mentioned. There IS an NPC that worries about the Garlean Empire invading on the excuse of a holy war against the Primals that the Beastmen have brought forth. But it doesn't imply that there has been communication between the city-states and the Empire since Ala Mhigo's destruction.

I take it back. You're going to have change your skin to get that to work for you....

This should be an easy fix. Send me an email if you want me to fiddle with it this week.

I take it back. I've decided to compile a lore wiki for the Stormguard, since the Stormguard in-character, has their own archives of doings, religion, and lore in Eorzea. I assume that only Stormguard members will be using it, however, so I won't advertise it here. I've also linked to the RPC lore section, Eorzeapedia, and FFXIV Core on the Stormguard forums, so if there ARE any discrepancies, my members can figure it out.

Threadjack. The idea of the Garlean Empire invading is quite a similar story to XII. Either they're deliberately just paralleling the games (because that's what SE likes to do), or they're stealing elements of it (which they also do.) In any case, I do think we'll see elements of Ivalice in Eorzea. (Which I love, since XII was my favorite.) /Threadjack

The Gabranth-looking guy? Thank you. That's exactly what I was wanting to hear. They used the Final Fantasy XII music in the Beta Login Screen too. Perked my curiosity.
