Welcome to the Gates of Ipsen Castle!

Why did you come with me?

Only Because I wanted to go with you.

Ipsen Castle was born from the desire to help lead a group of friends with similar ideals. Friends from all walks of life, gathering to enjoy Final Fantasy XIV. Ipsen Castle itself is to represent the very members within it. Where the weak can be as powerful as the mighty. Where both can walk the line of greatness together, and that is exactly what we do.

We officially formed on November 29th. 2012, and have since then been preparing for FFX|V: A Realm Reborn. While we are primarily based in NA, our membership consists of members across the globe including NA, EU, AUS. Both Original 1.0 and new players are welcome and already among our ranks. We consider ourselves a mid-core Free Company, allowing members the freedom to play to their own styles. Each party is a new adventure in Eorzea. Ipsen Castle will be making their home on Hyperion server.

Events
We partake in a mixture of social events, dungeon, primals, FATEs and more. We are primarily PvE, but will partake in PvP for Free Company bragging rights. All members can host events in the Ipsen Castle community, no matter what type. During 1.0, various members of Ipsen Castle tackled every last drop of content FFXIV had to offer. Our latest project to hit the internet is Holding Court With Ipsen Castle, a raw video-cast hosted by Ipsen Castle featuring guest members across the FFXIV community.

Voicechat
We use Mumble for our voicechat needs, and recommend at least listening in. It is not required to speak at all, but hosting events could be tricky I would think.

Lastly, if there any questions, please feel free to ask. I'm sure I missed a thing or two!


I salute you all, who may pass into the gates of Ipsen Castle.

Recruitment
Ipsen Castle is currently is Opento applicants. You can always head over to http://ipsencastle.chakusou.com/ to register at any time to keep an eye on what we're doing.

While we have a great membership base, if you've ever seen us roaming Eorzea and would like into the family, stop on by.!

Don't want to muck up your thread, so delete if you have to, but just wanted to say hello to Holy and Kai (and the rest of the old gang) from Aoshi, used to be a member of Seraphim back in the 1.0 days. Currently rolling up an LS with Cyan/Densetsu, same server. Hope to see you guys around ^___^

Hit us up whenever you feel like it Aoshi, we enjoy the company of friends ^_^

And mucking up our thread? psssh, we would have done that ourselves with style.

/hurray
^_^ Although i'm already in a FC of my own. I wanted to wish you all the best ^_^ and also i hope we stay friends and everything! You guys are awesome and i'm gonna /cheer for you all the way!

Hey Aoshi! Good to see you're back ^^

Hi Aoshi and Fira~! Yay, I am so happy to be on the same server with y'all again~! We are gonna have great fun!!

Thank you so much for the support~! We have the best community and friends! <3 *HUGS YOU BOTH*

I just wanted to say, as a member, that Ipsen Castle is the bestest family/friends in the whole of Eorzea! <3

Cheers to Ipsen!

Hey Aoshi, Firarrow! I'll be keeping in touch, and pretty sure I already have you friended Fira =) Thanks for the best wishes!

I was even amazed I was able to post twice without it getting mucked up!

Oi, a wild Setsuna appears! Cheers man! Holy, Kai, you guys be good ^__^ See you in a few minutes maybe! I love you guys so much that I am using one of my three posts to prove it! haahaha

Hey guys, long time no see. I'm really looking forward to getting a chance to play with everyone again.

Setsuna, Holy, Kai, we'll have to keep in touch, I'll be sending you guys friend requests as soon as I'm able to log into the game again.... damn 90000 and 10102 errors this morning.

No worries, we've had similar issues getting on. These things happen.

Hey guys! The mug on the left won't be familiar, but believe it or not, it used to be Purrrfect Lee lol. I've been debating between keeping my remade legacy character or starting fresh on one of the new servers since everybody here is all 50s and stuff and I've only 2 classes over 20 (le noob ><). Didn't know you guys would be on Hyperion too. Do yall have a need for a token casual Roeg? ;)

hey Purrfect,
Long time. My character is different as well. I know of several players that do not have all 50s. Aoshi's highest job I think was 15 or something when he came back and I only have 1 job lvl 50 ^^.

Drop us a line anytime - Cyan Dvai

We're never opposed to some awesome Roe action! We're also hanging out in Typhon too when we can't log in to NA servers.

And we've got a good mix of 50s vs non 50s

Some familiar names here, some faces more different then others :)

I was really looking forward to joining your Free company. Heard some great things and my friend that come over from Balmung with me is already a member. My app was declined because I "wasn't a good fit" but Hopefully I will see you guys around in the game and you can reconsider!

Well, How about this. Here are some names I haven't seen for a long long time! Holy Dragoon, Aoshi, Cyan Dvai, Kai, Purrrfect. How are you guys! You may remember me back in Seraphim, I was Azrael Khimari. :) Now, I am Kuruku Rah.

Looks like we all ended up on the same server for 2.0. Look forward to seeing you guys in game! :D

That is odd, we have never fully denied anyone flat out, we tell them to contact an officer so we can get to know them better~! You are welcome to contact me or the officers under the following names: Holy Dragoon, Little Cat, Adaraa Katsumi, Rop'pi Shion or Sakuraya Kai~! :)

Just to add some clarity, since this ended up on the official forums. Your application contained many blank answers. That does not mean you aren't a good fit, it means we couldn't tell much about you. I've seen you around Tempestmoon, but that doesn't mean everyone has met you! With the huge influx of applicants that we've been getting, we need some information to help us get to know you. As always, fire me a message in-game if you need anything, or just want to talk it up.

Hope that helps sort things out a a little bit.

Okay I will submit another. I did fill everything out but something must have happened. Just a note that the website did give me an error with a red box and a lot of garbled text. That could be the cause. I will submit another and contact you in game!

Another submitted, FYI errors again

Thanks Tempest! I discovered this myself yesterday (not while trolling anothe rmember, of course not :P), so perhaps that is where the miscommunication fell to begin with.

Are you guys still recruiting? I tried to submit an app but got the same error message.

Thank you for your consideration.

Technically we're on hold right now while we let new members get used to each others' playstyles, personalities etc. We'll open back up soon. We don't want to grow too fast or else it won't be fun for everyone.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1029185 will always have our current status though.

I did see that you registered, we've also had a glitch with the application form that we haven;t quite got fixed yet =) You did get in before we put the hold on though.!

Thank you for the response, let me know if you need anything else from me.

Just a bit of an update:

We're limiting new members to friends and family for the time being. The response we've been getting is nothing but positive, and in order to keep things that way we've had to slow down the number of members we let in.

That doesn't mean we won't open up events to the entire Hyperion Community though!

Well just to update some news from the front-lines.... We're currently working towards getting a pile of people their Relic weapons. We've also started the Binding Coil of Bahamut, with success in Turn 1. Lastly, our anniversary is coming, and I'm looking to have fun event to celebrate!

Recruitment is still friends & family right now, we are thriving at our current size.

As always http://www.ipsencastle.chakusou.com drop on by if you're at all curious what we've been up to.

Decided we can open recruitment up, as our members have settled in quite nicely. We're pretty busy these days, lots to keep us occupied! Have you seen us around? Here's what we've been up to this year!

Drunk Fishing / Karaoke is alive and well, we found out we have some really talented folk.
Content Teaching. Many people are unsure how to learn fights with the Party/Duty finder being so hard on players. We're trying a no-pressure approach!
Kyodai FC joined us this year, and we're a much better FC thanks to their insight!
Caffeine Cartel - They became really good friends with us, we passed around linkshells and team up quite often. Socially, or just to get things done.
We bought a house! We did it in pretty good timing too, next door to some excellent FCs and a great piece of real estate.
