Blue Skies Event: In-Game Beta Weekend Meet N' Greet (temp Gilgamesh, perma Balmung)

[Xenedra]

Hey everyone! Blue Skies is hoping to get some interactions going with characters old and new, alike, so we thought it'd be fun to have a bit of an IC meet and greet during this weekend's beta run. Since they've announced that new players can't make characters on Balmung for this weekend, we want to host the event on Gilgamesh to get the best possible turn out. Here's the break down:

 

• Who: Hosted by Blue Skies for all beta rpers!
  
• What: Meet and greet of sorts. Think of it as a "Hey! We've got free drinks, come hang out! Maybe we'll go exploring!"
  
• Where: Gilgamesh Server, starting in Costa del Sol, La Noscea
  
• When: Saturday! Official time? We'll go for 5 EST and onward, though I will likely be hanging around earlier in the day. I'm rabid for some RP!
  
• Why: Fun! Friends! Character practice!

 

I understand a few groups aren't wanting to start rp yet and that's fine, we certainly won't hold it against you, but we'd like to meet as many of our new members and catch up with as many old ones as possible, so we hope to see you there!

 

(As a note, you have to be level 15 and done up to that level in story quests (aka gained airship access) to get to costa del sol if you don't start in Limsa. If people can't get to 15 by the time of the event, I suggest making an second iteration of your character as a marauder so you start in Limsa : ).)

[Challoux Baudrier]

It's never too early for RP! Consider this my RSVP.

[Azthran]

Guess I've got 4 levels to get friday night and early saturday but I'll be trying to get there.

[CallmeYahweh]

This sounds rad!  And Costa is gorgeous.  I'll be sure to swing by, if for nothing more than to check out the sights, and listen in to the sounds.

[Adelpha]

I may or may not be home during that time, but if I am, I'll be there!

[Amadeus]

The Knights of the Twelve shall be there!  Or at least I will.  I'll likely spend a goodly amount of time on Balmung, but I swing by Gilgamesh to meet folks

[Varus]

Sounds fun! I especially like the exploring part!

[John Spiegel]

Depending how my Saturday works, I will try to blow in. Though it does say "character practice" I do hope that there isn't going to be some sort of canon aspect to this because I'm still working out the nitty gritty. If I remember, I'd try to get a non-JJ character there though that's actually JJ's starting location this round of beta. :lol:

[Ronberku]

I'll try to join but it starts at midnight my time(europe ftw...). So yeah...

[Gossamer]

I have stuff I'm doing on Saturday, so I'm not sure if it will interfere with this. But if I'm available, I'll definitely drop in. It's always nice to stretch my character's legs.

[Moonfire]

If I have my character rounded out by then I will stop by.

[Arlon]

I'll do my best to be there.

[Lizzo]

Sounds fun Xen, I'll try to be there. May have to do as you say and just start a toon in Limsa...

[Dogberry]

I may stop by. I don't know if I can make it for the event proper, but I'm free earlier in the day and can meet up to RP.

[Moltove]

after a long break from everything (everything but work), I would be happy to hop in. I missed the Beta Weekend last time, so I hope I can catch up!

[Tabrett]

I'll try to bring Kerr by as well. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

[Xenedra]

Looks like a good turn out so far! I'm excited to meet/ have reunions with you all!

[allgivenover]

So gonna be there.

[Rhostel]

I promise to be there if I'm awake!

[Jackscarab]

Sure, I suppose I could make a Kannadi duplicate for the beta. I may or may not be working that day, though. We'll see!

[Yahdo]

Hopefully it will last longer than 2 hours becasue I don't get off work until 6:30pm EST.

[Xenedra]

I hope it's longer than 2 hours, too! I need my fix : P

[Merri]

Can't wait to see everyone there~

 

On a side note for anyone that is unable to attend or isn't in phase 3 at the moment, we are currently planning to have an event hosted via skype in the near future as well.

[Mtoto Wamoto]

Woo, this looks like it's gon' be good

 

I'll try to be around, tho I'm not too sure of my plans that day. Looking forward to seeing the RP that comes out of this!

[John Spiegel]

Hey, I know y'all said this is a "meet and greet and practice character thing" but for clarification, I can say that whatever I end up doing is non-cannon cause I'm trying to fine-tune/figure my character out, right? I'm nervous about not hitting where I want a particular character of mine to be and have that be the "norm". 

 

Example: I've been toying around with various accents/amount of accentation in the small 1-on-1 rp I've done. I came to an agreement that a couple things (speech, some minor aspects, etc) were not final and embedded into "lore" when the game goes live. I'm happy with that because from RP event 1 to RP event "X", I've tweeked a fair bit to the point that discrepancies would arise if the previous encounters were taken to heart word-for-word. 

 

TL;DR = Is this even pretty much non-cannon?
