Project Update
Phase 1 - The Limsa Lominsa Presence Complete
I have effectively moved my own RP focus to Limsa Lominsa, complete with full justification of why Gyr would now live and work in La Noscea. Since doing so I have noticed an increase of characters RPing in Limsa Lominsa, and I'm glad. Whether it was this project, or already present RP that I hadn't noticed, it's good to see Limsa finally getting some of the love it deserves.
Phase 2 - The Limsa Lominsa RP LS In Progress
The Lominsan Society linkshell is going very strong, with now over 50 members. I'll continue to watch for people who would like to be included, and I encourage every single member of this LS to generate RP as they see fit. Keep in mind that there's no IC leader and that every member is equally responsible for making sure this doesn't stagnate. It's an LS encompassing all of Limsa Lominsa's citizenry, and meant to facilitate relations between everyone. So have some fun with it.
Phase 3 - The Limsa Lominsa Directory In Progress
So far the Limsa Lominsa Character Directory could see a better turn out. I know that it may seem discouraging to be asked to post something that isn't born of your own motivation, but this project will only succeed if players make that special effort to flex beyond themselves. I intentionally made the directory template simple and brief, so no one should feel overburdened by posting. Please, if you play a character somehow involved with Limsa Lominsa, take the time to make a post and remind your friends to do so as well.
Phase 4 - Limsa Lominsan FC Events In Progress
I've started this phase this morning. It turns out that Balmung has a decent handful of FCs based in Limsa Lominsa/La Noscea, and I've reached out to each of these FCs' officers, explaining this project and asking that they lend their support by advertising and hosting public events in Limsa Lominsa sometime in the near future.
Obviously I cannot predict how this will go, but with some luck and good will, we might see a nice series of events sometime soon. If you happen to know any of the leaders of these Limsa Lominsan FCs, please feel free to encourage them to pitch in.
Additionally I'll keep an eye on the upcoming events posted, and speak with the leaders of each. Perhaps certain non-plot related events like date auctions could be relocated to Limsa Lominsa. No way to know without asking. So we'll see how this goes.
Phase 5 - The Limsa Lominsa Skype Chat (Optional)
And so we come to the first optional phase, meaning that my work is nearly done. Phase 5 is something that the players, not I, need to decide. Would it be beneficial to create an OOC Skype channel for Limsa Lominsa players? And would people be interested in joining such a chat?
These are questions that only you all can answer, so I'll handle it in the following manner. If you believe this is something that should be done, simply send me a PM with your Sype ID. I'll not disclose the ID to anyone else. If I receive enough such messages, I'll create the channel. If not, then I won't. It's as simple as that.
Like this project as a whole, each phase can only succeed if each player reading this thread makes an effort to step forward. Please keep that in mind.
