The officers have come together and decided that, for the time being, we should close recruitment. This will allow all of our members a chance to interact with the upcoming expansion in a more care-free mindset, as well as give us as a company a chance to understand where we stand in the world of Hydaelyn with the upcoming (hopefully) flood of lore. As such, as of right now, recruitment for our company is closed. For any of you out there still curious about us and possibly wishing to join, do still feel free to visit our site or give us a poke in-game or on here for more information. If you like what you see and are willing to wait for us to open recruitment once more (it will happen, eventually), you are welcome to submit an application that we'll get to once our doors are open again. Thank you and enjoy the upcoming fun that will be Stormblood!

Update: 6/11/17 Changes: The key word over the past two weeks! As can easily be seen, our company has undergone quite a few changes! IC: Formerly known as Black Griffin Adventuring Company, this free company has undergone a change of hands and is now known as Iron Raven Expeditions and Excavations. While the company will run in a fairly similar manner as it has in the past, a new focus has been added to the adventuring that was done previous. Iron Raven will now also be delving into ruins and the unknown of Hydaelyn in search of lost knowledge and artifacts! As such expeditions can require the expertise of several different callings, we are looking to hire on people that are skilled in all sorts of areas. We need people not afraid to face the dangers locked away in ruins that have been unexplored for ages. We need people that know how to handle rare and brittle artifacts so that we can retrieve them with as little damage as possible. We need people capable of crafting and gathering of all sorts, as we will need supplies and upkeep of our gear during our expeditions. We need people capable of mending wounds, be it through aetherical or physical means. If this sounds like something that may interest you, we ask that you visit your local OIC and inquire more about our company! OOC: The company has undergone quite a few changes! As mentioned above, we are still doing adventuring-type roleplay, but have also added "excavations" to our list. We'll be delving into ruins for lost knowledge, relics, and artifacts of ages past while still taking on the leves and hunts offered to us by the adventurer's guild and grand companies! With the change of theme, we've also moved our website to a new url! That address is:  ironraven.enjin.com Those that have visited our old website when we were Black Griffin may notice a lot of similarities when visiting our new website. The reasoning behind this is that while our IC theme may have changed, our OOC outlook on what we want out of the game (both in terms of RP and PvE) has not. As such, the list I posted a while back about what we're looking for is still relevant. To reiterate: What are we looking for?   Active members. We expect our members to participate with the company in at least one company-led RP event or leve each month. We love it if people do more, obviously, but understand schedules and life can be a hassle sometimes.   Members that adhere to the lore. We are welcoming to those that are unfamiliar with the lore, so long as they're willing to learn!   Adventurer type characters, medical oriented characters, and those characters that love the pursuit of knowledge. Our theme has many openings for all sorts of characters to join on!   All around fun people! A good sense of humor and a thick skin are advised! To accompany this change in theme and IC ownership, our doors are once again open! That's right, we're taking on new applicants. So come join us for our new theme and have a home for the upcoming expansion! In terms of PvE, nothing much has changed. We're all looking forward to the upcoming expansion and will be helping each other clear content as we push through all of the new quests and dungeons! To accompany the change to our company, several of the officership pool have switched their mains and, as such, our list of contacts has undergone a little change as well!  So, if this sounds like a company you would enjoy and your character would fit, feel free to hop on over to our company site and take a gander. Also feel free to poke any of our officers in game with questions and the like. The list of contacts is now: C'vhan Tia Linette Syng C'lehna Rhek Ketenbhrat Iyrnundsyn

Most of our members have pushed through the Stormblood content and are at cap/past the MSQ, so we’re returning a little more of our focus back to the RP side of things once more! IC: Our first moon under the new banner has proven quite successful! Already we’ve completed several contracts and have a new ruin that we are attempting to explore and discover what mysteries it holds! Of course, more hands are always welcome! Particularly those skilled in the medical arts, or those interested in digging around in ancient ruins and discovering possibly ancient knowledge! We need people not afraid to face the dangers locked away in ruins that have been unexplored for ages. We need people that know how to handle rare and brittle artifacts so that we can retrieve them with as little damage as possible. We need people capable of crafting and gathering of all sorts, as we will need supplies and upkeep of our gear during our expeditions. We need people capable of mending wounds, be it through aetherical or physical means. If this sounds like something that may interest you, we ask that you visit your local OIC and inquire more about our company! OOC: As mentioned above, we’re still alive and kicking! We’ve pushed through the content the expansion had to offer and now we’re ready to focus a little more on the RP once more! We’re back to planning our weekly, officer-led events and welcome our members to lead their own as well! That being said, we still very much enjoy slapping pixels about to upgrade our gear together. Raids, extremes, even old content is still very much run by us on a weekly basis during our PvE night! One thing we’re really looking forward to is diving into the new maps with the next patch! With our focus no longer being almost completely drawn away by all of the new content, we are doubling our efforts a bit with regard to recruitment. In so doing, a lot of similar questions have been asked of us that I’ll go ahead and put into a quick FAQ here. Show Content FAQ Q: How many members do you have? A: As of writing this post we have 10 separate accounts in our company. 8 of said accounts are roleplayers that are ICly part of the company, the other 2 are friends of members that are along for the ride in an OOC (PvE/PvP) capacity. Many people see that number and say that we’re small. Yeah, we may well be for your standards and, quite honestly, we like it that way as it makes everything we do that much more personable as you’re not just some random number in a sea of people. Our recruitment standards are high and people often see us as sticks in the mud. This is the way we enjoy RP and, as such, the way we have formed this company. The information on our company site tells the tale of who we are and what we like to do in the community we are creating in this company. Q: What do you mean by lore strict? A: Simply put, we stick to the lore in our roleplay and character creation and development as best as we can and do not stray into grey areas if at all possible. We expect this of all of our members. That being said, no one knows everything there is to know of the lore in this game and sometimes even we make mistakes. When that happens and we’re shown the true lore, we apologize, rectify, and move on. Q: When are you guys most active? A: In general our company is most active during the (American) evenings. As a general window, on weekdays we are most active from about 4 PM to about 10 PM CST. On weekends we’re off and on all day. Our officer-led events usually fall on Wednesdays, Fridays, or Saturdays during the windows posted above. Our PvE nights, for now, are Saturday afternoons. Q: How often do you guys RP? A: As often as people want. If ever there is a desire for RP, someone just needs to speak up and/or post an event and it’ll happen!  However, one thing a lot of people seem to expect when joining our company (or possibly any RP company) is that RP is just a constant thing… that it’s just going to fall in their laps. All of our members enjoy all (or at least most… PvP is hit and miss) of the aspects of the game and will often times be off running dungeons, crafting and gathering, doing hunts, racing chocobos, etc. In other words, they don’t RP 100% of the time! We don’t spoon feed RP to people. We don’t hold hands. We expect people to speak up and ask for RP if they wish for it to happen… not just sit at the company house with the RP tag and hope that another member comes along and joins in. So, if this sounds like a company you would enjoy and your character would fit, feel free to hop on over to our company site and take a gander. Also feel free to poke any of our officers in game with questions and the like. The list of contacts is now: C'vhan Tia Linette Syng C'lehna Rhek Ketenbhrat Iyrnundsyn

Update: 8/15/17   The company is still here – alive and well! RP is back in full swing now that the large majority of members have pushed through the content available with the expansion and subsequent patches.   IC:       Another successful moon under our belts. Contracts are getting done in a timely manner and our members are getting paid for their services. It appears there may be an unforeseen connection between some of our contracts that we are now investigating in hopes of finding out the connection and meaning.   We are still welcoming more hands to join on with us as we take on more dangerous contracts for more lucrative pay, as well as investigate the unknown corners and cracks of the world to find what mysteries lay beneath.   We have a particular need for those skilled in the medical arts, be they aetherical, physical, or both. We could also use a few more people that are skilled in artifact recovery and research.   If this sounds like something that may interest you, we ask that you visit your local OIC and inquire more about our company!     OOC:   Again, we’re still here and enjoying all that this game has to offer! With the majority of our members done with the MSQ, a lot of our focus has returned to RP.   Officer-led weekly events are taking place on a regular basis, but we always encourage our non-officer members to lead their own, as well!   PvE is still a pretty big thing for us as well! We have a weekly “PvE night” (Saturday) where our company gets together to take on whatever it is everybody wants with regard to PvE. Sometimes that means getting our weekly Omega clear, sometimes that means clearing current EX primals for gear (and hopefully dogs), sometimes it means old primal unsynced mount farms, sometimes that means clearing out the older raids like Binding Coil and Alex… on and on. We decide what it is we do once all of our participating members sign on and vote.   We used to do maps on our PvE nights, but that ended up taking away the majority of the time so we’ve separated them out and now do them on their own day. Our map nights now take place every Sunday, and we’ve had some decent luck making the big bucks across the board.   Recruitment is still open at this time. Feel free to hop on over to our site and read through our information to get a better idea of who we are and what type of player we’re looking for. If you think you’d be a good fit, feel free to toss up an application on our site and we’ll be sure to contact you! Should you have any questions about our company, please feel free to contact us on our site, in-game, or message me here on the RPC!   List of Contacts: C'vhan Tia Linette Syng C'lehna Rhek
