Salutations!First of all I want to thank everyone who attended "Spooky the 13th" yesterday. Without attendance, it wouldn't be much of an event and it's always thrilling to see Balmung's role-playing community still very active. However, recent dealings with several other linkshells and free companies that are in a partnership with the Piquant Pumpkin have me a bit concerned in the direction of role-play.
Most events that I see are carried out now in the housing sectors of the game. While there is generally nothing wrong with this, I do have to state that I have personally visited several of these events and they are, with all due respect, not very active events.
Yet players keep pushing to have role-players visit their establishments so they can engage in trite, monotonous tavern role-play which is already vastly implemented in the Quicksand.
Again, there is nothing wrong with this type of role-play, but I fear the direction this is going. Eventually, players may only hold events strictly for their members, closing out any who are otherwise not associated with their FC or LS.
The question being posed is why have so many events been closed to housing/tavern shenanigans and why has the general area of role-play shifted strictly to Ul'Dah as a majority?
While certainly there are groups out there that play in other places, but most stick with the Quicksand, as stated.

I remember a time where I could go to Gradania and I'd find random roleplay; Limsa Lominsa was also keen to this. Now, the essence of random RP has fallen to individual players instead of what used to be a thriving community.
What I am stating here, is that each of us take the time to remember that outside of all the hunts and raids, there are new players coming to Balmung everyday. Let's give them, as a community, something to thrive and stay a part of.

Hydalen is a VERY large world. Let's use it and give Momodi a break!
