What do you guys do for fun?

Well the social events I'm talking about come in a few varieties. We have in-guild activities that are sepcific for us. These sorts of things include guild darts (we fling ourselves off of high places and others try to land on that person along with a bunch of variations there of), we play hide and seek, dungeon dashes where we race to do the fastest run of a dungeon possible unsynced, we have bad movie nights where we get together and watch terrible movies together in Teamspeak while making fun of them. Then we have larger events where we cram a bunch of games together in one night like we did for our anniversary event on this past Saturday.

There is a lot of variety to our social events. Some of them are in game, some are out of game, but all of them are more about the interactions we have during than the actual games themselves. We play a lot of tabletops together, and generally focus on trying to just have a good time within the community.

Outside of that, we also host server-wide social events. We start advertising them about a month prior to the event. So far we haven't released the official details on our next one (Harvestide) but those details will be coming on Thursday.

A lot of work goes into the preparation of these. We put together a promotional video which requires filming events and things of that nature. We craft and collect a ton of different prizes to give away, we plan little events to have during the larger event, so on so forth. Basically the entire prep for them lasts about 3 months and we go go go the whole time. We make rounds on some news outlets and do some podcasts. We get other members of the community involved and really push ourselves to outdo the previous event every time. It's pretty fun seeing the whole server together like that.

This time is looking to be our biggest yet. We'll be giving away about 45 million gil worth of in game prizes as well as $330 in game time cards and other merchandise. So thats kind of what we do... We host events haha. As I said though, the full details will be coming out on Thursday for our next one in October.

You should go to 404's Harvestide Oct 24 @ 8 est! Bentbranch. I'm marking it on my FC's calendar. I always encourage my FC to go to their events.

So glad you guys will be coming out again! I always love seeing the Rain tags at our events. Really we have the community to thank for supporting us so much on these endeavors so it's really wonderful to see others getting excited already... Even before we've officially announced it lol! Hopefully you guys walk away with some awesome prizes as I know you're always active attendees =)

Dance around Idyllshire, chat with people, run old extreme content, gather, gather some more, continue to gather, undercut like a monster in the auction house, and occasionally run into people ERPing around Limsa Lominsa due to the lack of real hiding spots.

Thnx, for info Ione and Okashii. Sounds like a blast to hang around those events so I'll look forward to it. (no Yoshi P pun intended :/ )

Well that sounds fun and interesting lol. I never ran into any ERPers so I guess I can consider myself lucky XD (no offense to ERPers)

It'll happen eventually, when you least expect it. One day you'll be wandering around the Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks and then...

*BAM!*

You've walked in on two Miqo'te males with an Au Ra female in the center of them and some naked Roegadyn just watching from the distance, like a creep.
