Merge-Day Celebration!

Can't wait til Saturday! :D

I know! I'm excited >.<

I'm really glad we decided to do this on not-the-actual-merge-day. They should have everything sorted by Sat, right? :)

Do we have volunteers to host every event? Let me know what you still need help organizing, and I'll be happy to lend a hand.

For the Clear Cutting Run, I'll start shouting in Uldah around 2:30 PM EST to ask folks who want to take part to head to Turning Leaf. I'll create a linkshell for communication, but if we have too many people for one ls (wouldn't that be nice?!) communication while at turning leaf will be done via /sh. I'll try to start the event as close to 3:00 EST as possible, so make sure to be on time. Last time I tried this, it took about 20 min to fell a guardian. We should have more people this time around, so maybe we can even take on multiples if we're feeling frisky. We'll keep going 'til just before the next event starts or we get bored, whatever comes first.

Awesome Molly! Yeah, I gave it two hours for the event, so it's really just until you get bored.

I can always use extra hands on the fighting ones (Stronghold, Basilisk, and/or the NMs) to organize people, but my shell-mates have volunteered to help me out, so if you can't make it, no worries. I could use another couple people to help with the Mor Dhona race too (will be kinda a boring job, just standing around) but again, no worries if you're busy.

I didn't know if I was going to get any help with this when I started, so I kinda planned it accordingly. :) I have the day off, so I'll be running around for a lot of it.

SO yeah. Couple more volunteers for the Danger Race, and if you're bored, extra help organizing any of the fighting ones. :)

Actually, if you know anyone who really likes gathering and is free around the time the gathering parties occur and wants to lead any of those, we could use that too. Right now the gathering parties are in charge of organizing themselves.

/happy emote! the male elezen one...

incredible event ideas, balmung community yesplz

Well I can volunteer for whatever... I've one of each type of class at 50 except a crafting class. Just tell me what you want. :)

If anyone wants to use this to post on their Linkshell sites to get the word out go ahead :) Made it last night to post on our Website to hopefully get everyone excited for Saturday!

Links to the first Merge Day Celebrations - > Here

Alright, the Merge Day Celebration is under way! Our first event, the Goobue Run, went pretty well!

We started out outside Ul'dah!

We had a pretty good turnout! So many Goobues!

We ran up thru Bluefog!

Then up through Mor Dhona!

We had to stop and rescue a fallen comrade from some evil eyeballs!

And again from some angry Zebra-lopes!

But we all made it safe in the end!

Hope everyone had fun! See you at the other events!

Alright! I'll have to post the Screenies from the Node Hunt later (although I was so focused on staying alive I didn't take many!) We're now on to the Clear cutting Run!

If anyone missed the Node event or didn't get the gate they needed I'll be setting up more node runs in the future if anyone's interested.

I'm always up for some death and excitement! Thanks for organizing, was great fun, even though really scary. :)

So where are people at the moment / meeting for the next (stronghold?) event?

Hnngh looks like the answer to my question was right at the first post:

We're going to massively invade, wipe out their leaders, and head onto the next one. :) This is for fun, not coffer farming, so if anyone gets a key, grats to them, but they fall to who they fall to!

:o

Except that starting place has been changed to Iron Lake in case someone else is coming!

I had a blast yesterday, thanks to everyone who who showed up!


While the merge was a good excuse to put something like this together, remember we can do this type of thing any time we want. So let this not be the last of Balmung's epic events.

I agree! I was actually thinking we could do a monthly sort of big-event...maybe not quite as big as that one was for a while. (I need a little bit of a rest. >.<) But, I know there were people who were interested in doing a longer NM hunt, a longer Stronghold Storming, and I think Isi wanted to set up a longer Node-hunting expedition. For the NM hunt and the Strongholds, if we devoted the day to it we could spend time alternating claims too - so that everyone could have their achievements! If people come up with different ideas, we could definitely do those too!

So, it was decided, somewhere in the middle of the NM hunt, that Wayward Wind should stick around as a ls. It's going to be a secondary sort of shell- we won't be running weekly events or anything, but when we do have these big ones it'll be a good way to let everyone know and coordinate. It's also going to be a social shell, so people can keep in contact with all the friends they made yesterday! If anyone joined it just for the event, but wants to drop it, feel free, since it was supposed to be temporary shell in the first place. But if you want to keep it, well...welcome to Wayward Wind!

(I will pry have to reduce the leader list a bit. I made almost everyone leaders for the sake of passing out the pearls, but if it's going to be a continuing thing I think we should have a bit more stability. ^.^)

I was amazed by the turnout yesterday, and hope everyone had a great time! I know I did! Welcome to Balmung, we have a fantastic community, and I look forward to playing with everyone in the future! See ya around! XD

This was really fun!! Too bad i only made it for part of it..still had a blast!

Absolutely this.

We as Balmung must be the example to all things FFXIV and create more server-wide events.
