This is exactly my problem with RPing in big communities. Nothing *really* happens in the world. The last occurrence that could make our characters react was the Calamity 5 years ago; there's nothing beyond that because the game story doesn't work for most, and I guess it'd be very difficult to coordinate many people into believing in a common story that could affect everyone.

I know small group of friends can come up with their own plot, but wouldn't it be nice if actual new events were happening in the world as a whole? ;_;

I agree that the use of that NPC in this event is a wonderful idea. It makes the world more alive, and it makes the players feel more involved in the real Eorzea.

If this goes well, at least in Ul'dah, maybe we could come up with a community appointed group to organize monthly events. I'm calling the Ball "The First Annual" because I will throw it every year. My track record in such things was proven back on Siren (FF11) in my 7 years there, and back before that in my lifetime on EQ and RO.

Maybe a community elected group to organize large scale events is in order.

Would someone be willing to be queen for a day?
