Hello there! My name is Masao, and i am looking for those interested to join our Adventure Academy and our little hub of RP! Below is some information what it's all about. If you have any more questions, please send me a PM here, or add me on discord: Masao#2913 What do we do? Lunar Rose Academy offers weekly lessons in various subjects, in addition to larger community plots and fun one-off events like field trips. We are based on Balmung, but anyone on the Crystal Datacenter can join us thanks to the world visit feature. The school is centered around the theme of adventure; the curriculum consists of activities and lessons that will prepare the students for a life of adventuring, offering practical knowledge on topics such as combat, first-aid and magic. Both the teachers and students at Lunar are players roleplaying their characters. In addition we have characters that work as school staff, for example running security. We have a free company house that serves as the school grounds, but we also often venture out to the vast world of Eorzea too! Typical roleplaying activities at Lunar Rose Academy include: School classes following a set schedule Student-run clubs Casual roleplay in a school setting School field trips and other seasonal events Collaborations with other RP groups and communities ...And more! Please keep in mind that we are a casual/plot RP community - while sometimes we will be running large plots as a guild, they will often be dealing with more down to earth threats, that is not say that you as a player cannot get involved in personal high powered plots, we wanted to give you an idea about both what kind of characters fit in the free company and what you can expect to find RP wise here. Also note that we are Lore Bendy on a case by case basis - roleplayers are super creative people and the lore of FF14 is very very rich! However sometimes to tell a good story we know lore needs to be bent a little. We encourage self starters - we run plots and events as a guild, but being proactive is encouraged. However, what we can do is place the stage and set it for you to perform on! So we encourage our members to run plots and get involved with the RP!

I can't login anymore! What happened? There are a couple things that might've happened here. You had multiple accounts on RPC that used the same email. Anyone who had multiple accounts on RPC with the same email will find that the new email-based accounts here have merged all their secondary accounts. Which every account was oldest was the one that was made primary. You may need to reset your password! You registered after our final save. We were able to snapshot data from February 11, around 11AM-12PM. If you registered after this date, your account was not carried over. Please re-register. Is it just me or does the site crash or go offline a lot? It's not you. It's me. I've been working on tweaking the server config for performance and features and have to restart servers now and then. Occasionally I break something to x_x The old site is gone! What happened to my posts? All content should have been migrated, however there may be some formatting issues that the converter couldn't catch. You can find RPC's old site at https://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/mybb/ and any old links you may have bookmarked should continue to work. Where did my avatar image go? During the conversion from our MyBB site, avatars were not carried over due to a limitation in the converter tools. RPC staff can help you retrieve an image if you'd like to reupload it for use again. I was a patron on RPC but it doesn't show any more. What gives? Let Unnamed Mercenary know in a PM, chat message, or some other mean. I'll cross-reference from the old site and get your name updated! Chances are, you had an older account that your patron name was merged into and that removed your group access. Why are my Linkshells and Free Company listings are missing? The new Linkshell Hall and Free Company Hall pages are built off InvisionPower's new "Clubs" feature. They allow users to make full sub-communities on the RPC! While we can't migrate a listing from the old halls directly, we can migrate your old list's thread into a club forum. What happened to my Gallery images? They aren't gone! We promise. RPC previously used a gallery software called Coppermine, with some delicate code that bridged the gallery to upload using your credentials. We've converted and transferred all images over to the new gallery, but we'll need to manually re-assign your uploads to you. We understand that this is not ideal and ask for your patience and understanding in the matter. If you'd like to help us out, you can send us a list of which photos were yours with links from the new gallery and we'll get the linked to you so they show up in your profile. The editor is quirky. Yes. Yes it is. If you're trying to make a line break, you can use HTML or shift-enter if you don't want paragraph block spacing.(The enter key is now a line break and not a paragraph.) For advanced users, you can technically edit fully in HTML. We use CKEditor now. If you want a certain plugin, we can try getting it integrated. I noticed a post that looks weird. There are BBCode or formatting issues. RPC's previous forum made use of a lot of custom and nonstandard BBCode. Users are encouraged to update their posts to make them pretty again. The new editor will access BBCode, but you cannot convert formatted text back into BBCode. Users are able to post with some basic HTML tags now, however! If you need any assistance, please contact the staff! Internal links will need to be manually updated. If you spot something that seems out of place, please report it. The theme is very...bright. We're working on making the theme easier on the eyes. If you have experience with Invision Power board themes, please contact Unnamed Mercenary. Users should be able to select an IPS4 Dark theme now as well. The css hasn't been check yet, but it should give a very simple black and blue appearance better for evening viewing. The site feels kinda slow. Are you sure it's better? The sluggish performance is partly to do with the migration procedures and shouldn't be permanent. (But may last until the server bill's paid again.) We used a lot of processing getting everything moved over and should build up speed as things are cached and stored away again. I keep getting asked if I want to allow notifications. Why is the site nagging me? It loves you. IPS keeps more active connections to the server to help update you on content faster. The new RPC site is excited to notify you about all sorts of things! Notification popups are handled by your browser. Most should give you an option to blacklist the RPC if you no longer want them. Be sure to check out all of the notification settings here, as the defaults may not be the best for you! https://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/ips/index.php?/notifications/options/ I was doing something on the website that took a while and suddenly the page became filled with garbage text. Did something go horribly wrong?! This is tricky. And to give a basic explanation, some of the webserver code might not have had a good time trying to process your request. We're working to tune the server config so that this doesn't happen. If you can provide details like what browser you were using, the page you were and, and what you were trying to to do, we can check to see if something happened at that time. So far, this most often appears when uploading larger images to the gallery. You can sometimes resume by reloading the page. Edit 2018/04/18: We've upgraded to IPS 4.3 - Technical Details Users can now make read-only club listings for the FC and LS halls. These are viewable to any, but require invite/membership to post. The Gallery now supports anyone-can-use albums. The general categories will now allow uploads if you don't want to make a personal album. Users who already have albums can adjust the settings.

Happy holidays to those who have holidays this month! As some of the more tech-inclined may be aware, PHP 5.6 support is ending with 2018, which is what our Wiki runs on. I've been holding off on this as upgrading the wiki software to run on a newer version of php also involved upgrading the wiki software from our current long-term release to a newer release. These changes impact how the login bridge worked and some time was needed to get that sorted out. Coming in the new year, I'll be temporarily turning off the wiki while running upgrades to ensure all of our data is safely migrated. Past test upgrades have proven it should be a relatively safe and quick operation, but as there's a LOT of data, I'll be making a backup to roll back to should anything go wrong. (And with over 100gb of images uploaded to the wiki, there's a lot we'd like to make sure is updated safely!) After the upgrade, you'll see a new OAuth2 login link on the wiki, which will connect your RPC forum credentials to your wiki account, or generate one if you have not logged into the wiki before. Like other OAuth prompts, it will ask for permission to use information you've provided the forum, like the screenshot below. This new login system -should- be a little more resilient to usernames containing underscores and special characters/unicode. It is still recommended to avoid using a username/Display Name containing unicode, emoji, or special symbols such as #, $, &, and _, as these may not display or may create a conflict between the login system and the wiki in how it stores information.

Happy Sunday! As you may have seen, the menubar on the top of the site has been adjusted and the Free Company Hall and Linkshell Hall sections are back! After a long-enough test period and feedback from users, we've found that while definitely handy, the Club sections were not working as well as we'd hoped for fostering group exposure. Between a smaller section for activity, and strict requirements on what would bump up the activity field, it became more difficult for group listings to make it up on site's main page. Because of this, we're rolling back to our previous method, the Halls! Now, you may notice they work a little differently from the other forum sections. Here are some of the changes: Prefixes for your server are required - These drive the filters for each section and the menu entries. As before, if/when a server reaches a point where it has the vast majority of entries in the "other" category, we'll build out a section for it with a dedicated prefix and color. (This includes calendars, clubs, and any future sections, as well as friendly-link creation like the other ones. Pin your posts - This has technically been enabled site-wide, but these are the sections where it'll probably be the most useful. Similarly to our old MyBB forums, you can make the first post (or any post!) of your listing pinned to the top. While this isn't on by default as it would force every thread to be treated that way, it does mean if you want to have multiple pinned posts, say, your listing and then a current event handled by another member, you can! Look for the marker to pin your posts! One pre-filled tag, unlimited additional options - To better help with searching, "free company" or "linkshell" will be automatically added to each listing, depending on the section they're in. We encourage you to add other useful tags for your listing like "heavy rp," "adventuring," "magic," and more to help give users a quick idea about what your listing has to offer. These are also searchable! FAQ: If I had an old listing that was chronicled, can it be put back? Absolutely! Please get in touch with a staff member and provide them the link and we'll get it moved for you. Moved threads will still need to have a prefix added, which the staff member may do for you. What happens to the club I've made for my listing? Nothing! Clubs won't be going away, but have been transitioned to a new spot on our navigation menu. As they still work great for hosting small user-created subcommunities, we'd love to see you continue to use them if they fit your needs. If you already had a list-like post in your club, a staff member can help get it copied/moved to the reinstated halls if you'd like.

Hello! Our webserver's storage has reached a new milestone. (And actually got full). I'm working to expand the storage now, but until then, uploads to the site may cause an error. This thread will be updated when the maintenance is complete.

On the weekend of March 3-4, RPC will be undergoing some server maintenance and the site will need to go offline. The maintenance is starting on Saturday morning, 8 AM PST. While we expect everything to be back up and running quickly, there may be unexpected downtime if any complications arise. A full backup of the database will be taken, and all other data will be snapshotted. A maintenance page for the forums will be posted during this time when the webserver is running, but not yet ready for traffic. This will affect both the forums and the wiki.

In the coming weeks, I'll be beginning the task of updating our wiki installation to a more current version. during this process, the wiki may need to be taken offline while files are updated and extensions are tested. Unlike the RPC forums, we cannot easily roll back changes or keep an old wiki up along with a new wiki side by side. A snapshot of the database will be taken after the site is brought offline to ensure that all changes are saved. I'll also be implementing a newer login bridge using a more secure method. Saving the wiki's database will ensure that if absolutely needed, we can roll back to all of the text content, however if something were to possibly go wrong during the upgrade steps, images may be a little more tricky. If the wiki is your only place for storing any art, screenshots, or other media, please make a backup of your files. While we don't foresee any issues, the RPC's current wiki software recently hit end of support status and many extensions will likely need to be updated in the process, like the ones that create tabs. To make a backup of your wiki page content (does not include actual files) that can be re-imported in the event that anything goes wrong, you can go to https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/index.php?title=Special:Export and export your wiki, including edit history into an importable XML format. (Saving all the wikicode from the editor also works in most cases.) I will update this post as more information comes out. Barring any immediate issues that would need to be taken care of sooner (login bridge that we use right now not working, severe security issue, something breaks, etc), this is planned for when the RPC is updated to IPS 4.3. due out around late February / early March timeframe.

The Free Company Hall here has been replaced by the new Linkshell clubs section. You can find per-server designations on the headers above or go to All Active Free Companies here. Per the cleaning rules, threads in this section will slowly be archived in the Chronicles section. [[Franz is just testing an edit here for something]]
