((With the coming 2.2 we are getting new dance emotes, dresses and formal wear. I believe it is time we hold a Royal Ball don't you? If you are interested please post here. I would like to wait a week or two after 2.2 drops to give people the time to unlock the clothes and new dance moves. Also if you would post a good time for you to be on so we can set a date that will be best for all.))

 

- Update -

I am leading this up with support from Natalie Mcbeef.

 

- Update -

Everyone on Balmung is welcomed, it is an Ul'dah event, but foreign visitors often come to such events so feel free to come out.

 

- Update -

Since only part of the RP population uses this forum I am inviting many of the larger groups personally. Please feel free to pass this along as well, either IC or OOC.

 

- Update -

The Ball will be large enough in area. I will post a map in a few days showing the three areas open to be used.

 

- Update -

Aryianna Nightshade has volunteered kindly to aid us in making gowns for those in need. Understand though that this aid is only to newer players who may be unable to afford or craft them. Honor system.

 

- Update -

The topic was moved to the Event forum.

 

- Update -

The time and date for the Ball was set to Wednesday, April 9th, running from 6PM to 3AM EST (3PM to Midnight PST). This is not the best time for some people I know and I am sorry, but the time was decided by input from people on the forums as well as those in-game.

 

- The default background music will be the Distant Worlds albums, seems fitting.

is a playlist.

[Val]

This sounds wonderful  I know a few couples that would be more than happy to attend!

[Pondahl]

What Val said~  This sounds pretty darn awesome, and so long as it's even remotely GMT-friendly, ah'll be attending

[Sophia_Grave]

Formalwear, WHAT?

 

I want!

 

...

 

Oh yea, this looks like a lot of fun too, I'll be there.

[Evie]

Count me and Equlibrium in!

[Guest Ragnar]

Sounds like a good time! I will certainly attend. Afternoons and evenings CST work best for me.

[Kage]

((BUT I DON'T HAVE FORMAL WEAR DDD: And I'm hoping to see some better ones than the ones they've previewed. A lot of them look pretty ugly otherwise I'll make an Infantry shirt outfit. Hopefully))

[Arianne Beaudonet]

Sounds like a lot of fun! I could see Arielle attending this. I'm in the central time zone and usually up fairly late (1am cst usually), so I'm pretty much open to any time as long as it's not much later than that.

Yeah, I'm excited. It should be pretty fun, . I don't know how hard it is going to be to get the new stuff, but this will be a good place to show it off!

[Kage]

If the dyeable infantry/battlemage etc, stuff are actually i.90 crafted... it's going to put a wrench in my formal wear plans.

[Melodia]

I think this would be fun. I better get a decent outfit together though! :dazed:

 

I am usually on in the evenings, 4 pm - 10 pm EST (sometime in that timeframe).

[MrPoopyButtHole]

Sounds like a great idea to me. Can one come without pants on though? 8-)

[C'kayah Polaali]

Count me in, though I don't know how much of the new gear I'll be able to get.

 

Pacific time nights work best for me.

[Erik Mynhier]

As a special note to Kage, if you have nothing to wear you could always help me run it and come in uniform. In fact anyone wanting to come in uniform in lue of formal wear is welcome as this is a Royal ball, and in rl Europe, at least Holland, military attire is fine in such events. That said if the new clothes require questing, we can run it together.

 

 

To everyone else I'm thinking with timezones stretching from PST to GMT, EST (not my timezone mind you) seems to be the best in way of fairness. How does 1500 est to 1700 est (3:00 EST to 5:00 EST) sound to everyone?

 

As far as day I'm thinking a Wednesday or Thursday. I have to work the weekends as a nurse, and Monday and Friday as a Chaplin, so those days are hard for me and I would like to go to.

 

Give me some more feedback and we'll finalize this. Also I need a few craftsmen to help out, any good crafters really. The new clothes will likely be Weavers domain, so if we can gather some mats I'm wondering if some weavers would mind crafting the new outfits for players who may not have the gil or crafting level to make it themselves.

[Guest Ragnar]

Wednesdays work best for me but I can swing Thursdays if need be. The times are fine.

[Kage]

I am still at work during those times so I would not be able to make it. Hope everyone enjoys it!!

What time is good for you?

[Kage]

I'm usually back 4pm PDT / 7pm EDT

[Siha]

Hey there brother! I'd love to come to this myself, if it's on a Thursday I can absolutely make it since that's my beginning of my days off and I have all night. So anytime after 9 am CST is open and free for me!

[C'kayah Polaali]

If it's next Wednesday, I could make it if it starts at around 6 EST (I'm in NYC then). Otherwise, I can't make a Wednesday at all.

[Ciel]

I'm interested, but let's also take cost into account.  Not everyone has all of the crafting classes leveled, so even with all the emotes and recipes unlocked, those who want the new dresses and can't make them on their own yet will have to secure them by other means.  Namely, buying them off a crafter, or getting the likely-to-be-overpriced mats for them to work with. 

 

I want to go, and I'd like to go in one of the new dresses, but I'm going to wait and see.  All else fails, I'll try and slap another suitably dressy outfit together. I can be available any evening with some advanced notice.

As stated in earlier posts it will be a few weeks after the 2.2 launch to give people time. I also wrote that I am looking for some kindhearted crafters to help me make clothes for those who wish to go but cannot afford or craft their own, also in an earlier post.

This seems fun! The Night Blades have a weakness for Bal-- dances. I'll post about this on our forums, you should see a few of us show up.

:lol:

 

I will go. But I may need that help with an outfit as I am one of those poor new folks. Well...I'm no crafter and my wallet is pretty light. :blush:
