Limsa Lominsa: A City Reborn

This is a great idea, Zhavi, and one that I hadn't considered. I personally under-utilize forum RP, but I know that others enjoy it a great deal. After I look over the RPC's forum format, and see just how play-by-post RP works here, I'll set up something for you and other players wishing to join you.

 

 

You are amazing, thank you so so much! <3 Hopefully once I've gotten into the swing of things I'll be able to help out, too. :)

I am very interested in this.  I'm making an effort to get back into MMO rp and just recently joined ARR since it (by far) seems to have the best rp community currently.  I love Gridania but Limsa Lominsa has truly taken my breath away.  Out of the three it certainly immerses you the most. 

 

My character is Marina Grey (Actually Marina the Grey for obvious reasons when you meet her).  Her story is a little strange so I'll leave that for rp discovery.  Either way I would love to be a part of the linkshell.  I'm not in a FC currently though I have been looking around.  If nothing changes in that department then I'd be happy to help with the starting up of a FC.

Phase 2 - The Limsa Lominsan RP LS In Progress

Nearly fifty players have subscribed to the Lominsan Society LS, and I still have requests that haven't been issued. I'm glad to see that all it took was someone rallying the cause for so many players to throw in their support. Just a friendly reminder, though, membership in this LS implies that you'll make a special effort to RP in Limsa, even if it seems slow.

I've been unable to locate you via Player Search. I'll still occasionally search, but I must ask that you please take it upon yourself to seek out one of the LS leaders and ask for an invitation.

 

These leaders are:

Sion Gyr

Arielle Beaudonet

Aysun Demiir

Elisea Renyven

Faye Covington

Nadeau Celeste

Xenedra Ambreaus

 

Phase 3 - The Limsa Lominsan Directory In Progress

I've gone ahead and started Phase 3 and posted a brief introduction and template here. All players interested in supporting this project are encouraged to post in order to facilitate more RP awareness for Limsa Lominsa based characters. I purposefully kept the template simple, but with enough key information that any curious RPer can generate hooks to engage with other characters.

 

Regarding progress into Phase 4 - I'm going to wait a few days to allow the LS to continue growing and for players to grow more comfortable with the free form community RP it promotes. With a bit more awareness for this project, FC leaders will be more agreeable to assisting. But so far, this has turned out better than I expected, and I want to thank everyone for their support.

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.

To lend my two bits to this segment, I've already contacted two people in that directory for rp, and am now working out plot stuff with them in pms before moving ahead into forum rp. It is suuuuper useful, and I for one check it every time someone else posts in it! (plus it's a lot more convenient than trawling the wiki for potential rp)

I posted on the Limsa directory. :P

 

Please poke me for arpees. I do not get enough, especially since most of my friends are so caught up in their own plots that it's tough to squeeze in.

 

Ooooh you and Lolotaru should totally rp (he's Goodfellow on here) -- your characters would match so well, I bet.

While it's not exactly smack center of Limsa, it's still in La Noscea! I just wanted to toss out for people that my character, Ophelia, has a tea/tavern/inn set up in Aleport, just a little ways off from the city. Even if I'm personally not present, please feel free to gather there and RP! Most of the staff is NPC'd, so go nuts. (I'm also "hiring" wait staff and entertainment)

Feel free to poke me for RP in general, too. Ophelia frequently travels all the cities (and works at her tavern) and K'aworu lives there.

Limsa Lominsa will always be my favorite city, but when I saw Coerthas I had to admit that is the most detailed area with the highest amount of different buildings for a roleplayer to take advantage of. Libraries, pubs, inns, prison, towers, many houses you can actually enter, and even an hospital. I really wished to see things like this in other cities, and the lack thereof really discourages me. I had put my hopes into housing, but unless individual housing will be cheap enough for me to afford, I don't see me being able to make the buildings I had in mind for my RP purposes. 

 

Best I can do is hope, I guess!

I'm just bumping this. Thus far I've received all of zero PMs regarding this topic, and that's perfectly fine. I marked Phase 5 as optional because I expected that. However, I just want to be sure that there's no interest in it. So...

 

Bump.

I've executed all the non-optional phases and have received zero replies for the first optional phase. Therefore I feel my work is done.

 

But yours isn't.

 

Remember that the Limsa Lominsa Character Directory and the Lominsan Society LS are permanent fixtures meant to facilitate RP for all Limsa Lominsa characters. I encourage everyone who plays a character related to Limsa Lominsa to post on the directory and seek out a LS.

 

Other than that, I would like to thank everyone for their support. I've noticed an increase in Limsa Lominsa RP already and it's all of you that made it possible.

Well, three cheers for you for identifying something you felt was a problem and doing something about it, dagnabit. Projects need their members, but they also need someone pushing it along. Without either they never get off the ground. :)

 

(and, personally, that directory of yours made it super easy to find people to rp with in Limsa. All but one of the people I've been pming I got from that directory, for srs)
