Alright Balmung. We came. We merged. What next?

Well, the merge day celebration was a ton of fun, but that's over now. However, that doesn't need to be the end of fun server-wide events. I think it'd be fun to have them monthly or bi-monthly so that we all have a chance to come together and enjoy the game and our community.

So, my question to all you lovely folks is: What next? What sort of events are people interested in seeing done? I present you with this thread so we can come up with some awesome ideas!

I know there were a couple events left over from the merge day that people came up with:

A longer Node-Hunting expedition (instead of two hours, maybe a full node hunt- gotta get em' all!)

A longer NM hunt and/or Storming the Strongholds where we could alternate claims to make sure people get achievements.

And a couple of the other servers had some cool ideas too- a riddle based treasure-hunt/race to find a player in hiding, or competitively taking on the Strongholds (or even instanced fights?) to see what teams could do it quickest.

Anyway. I am up for ideas. What are people interested in doing?

EDIT: Current plan. For the weekend of May 26th- 27th, we'll be having two events. There will be a longer node hunting expedition, in which we can try for ALL the nodes (day event in and of itself) and the next day there will be an extended NM hunt, in which we'll alternate claims for the kill.

EDIT TWO: It will start at 2pm EST on both days. Meet in LL Adventure Guild!

The next day walk of shame is next.

I say we storm the imperial stronghold after 1.22 with the intention of getting everyone there the NM kill. I've run this type of event before and can help. :)

When we did this on fabul we did it for all 3 current strongholds. I had one of my linkshell members as party leaders for each pt and we were on voice chat. Alternating claim was cake, on that run. Every other time I've been a participant in such an event, claiming was pure chaos.

more races. chocobo, goobbues. treasure hunts sounds interesting, a lot more interesting than some eorzea citizen quest

ample time of notification to said events and please no weekend

I was looking at mid-May for the next event, as that should A) give us time to adapt to the new content released in 1.22 and B) the college kids like myself should be done with finals by then (cuz the next few weeks are going to be pretty busy for a lot of people). So, here is your ample notification- I generally start things about a month in advance.

Molly- I really like the idea of the imperial stronghold, especially as it will give us the chance to play with new content.

certain day(s) set?

All Lalafell in Thormoen's Subligar doing a /follow on a random person. «Yes, Please!»

Let's go for a Naked-Run day... YEAH!

Mew? What if I am!?

more 1 Million Gils rewards! xD haha lol j/k

i want to join that NMs hunts! >:( and also strongholds!

We could call it a Flower Festival.

NM runs
Free straw hats!
Fishing contest!
Fireworks ride on the ferry!

I would be ok helping out with an extended node hunt or stronghold assault...or probably anything you guys decide on :p

Will join and encourage our LS to join pretty much anything as long as it's at an EU friendly time (the server merge starting time was great). Thank you for making all this happen! :)

Sorry guys, totally didn't mean for that thread to die. Got a bit sidetracked with finding a place to live for the summer. >.<

ANYWAYS, let's get this back on track. For now, lets plan to have one/two big events every couple weeks, and later in the summer we can have a week-long celebration, with events throughout. So, for our fist big event (should it be on a weekend?) what should we do?

you could always go to the stronghold with a bunch of people and take turns killing instead of zerging.

No need to tell me how to run the show. When I run these types of events, that's how I do it.

I'd say a longer version of the node hunt would be a good start, but that's just my 2 gil

when is next time? date and time please :D

Hm, how does Sat, May 26th sound? Molly, are you free and/or willing to run the NM Stronghold anytime that weekend? I can run it if you're not, but it's more fun to have company. :) I can do a longer node hunt sometime on Sat (time pending so we don't overlap), so we'll have two events that weekend. Hopefully people will at least be able to make one of them.

I should be available then, but honestly I'd want to be sure that we have the Imperial stronghold before doing a stronghold NM run again. I thought that one was coming in 1.22, but of course I was wrong.

can we shoot for another weekend? I'm busy that day or if not please do this again ^^;

Molly, you're right, we could wait on the strongholds.

Alright, for this time, maybe we could do an NM- claiming run (Great Buffalo, Haughtpox Bloatbelly (or whatever his name is), Dodore, Elder Mosshorn, and Uraeus), this time focused on getting everyone the 'kill' for achievement purposes, and the node hunt.

Xakery- I was planning on making this a biweekly sorta thing- every couple weeks we'll do one or two 'big' events, so I wouldn't worry if you have to miss this one. Just keep updated on the thread, and come to whichever ones you want to/can attend.

ok thank you!

Updating with times. Events will start at 2pm EST, in the LL Adventure Guild. Sat is the Node Hunt, Sunday is the NM Hunt. I assume these will last for a while, so if anyone is late and wants to join, just send me a /tell to ask where we're at.

Everyone is, of course, welcomed. Hope to see you there!

Thanks for organizing this!

Just making sure, will the event start 2pm EST or EDT (I know it says EST in op but people seem to use EST for summer time too)?

Sadly I will be working both days, hopefully I can catch the next one. Good luck everyone~

Don't forget the Swap Meet is on sunday too. It's meant to be a weekly server-wide event, so I thought it should be mentioned here.
