MERRY SERVER MERGER DAY!

And God bless you all!

Or not if you're an atheist.

Or maybe, maybe not if you are agnostic.

I hope SE celebrates this day with an event next year. <- LIKE IF YOU WANT THIS!

Whilst its nice to see the influx of players, i really hope they resolve the login/disconnection and most importantly, the massive lag issues we are currently facing before we rejoice.

It's literally unplayable in its current form. :S

I'm sure it'll get resolved but i remember what the performance was like upon release and it was just terrible.

It'd be one thing to have an event if they'd had the foresight to include an in-game justification for the merge (which would've been cool). I suppose they can retcon it, though...

First log in the Aegis, I have the 'new house' feeling. Need some time to settle in.

Well, this is convenient! Alright future Balmung-iers, let's do this!

So, if you missed my earlier threads, I'd like to plan a merge day celebration with various large-scale events going on throughout the day. I think this could help everyone meet each other, and beyond that, would just be plain fun!

Obviously, participation in this would be completely voluntary. I just think it would be a fun way to bring the communities together!

This event will take place Saturday, March 31st, 2012. This is the first Saturday after the event, and allows us to schedule events at given times, without the concern of how long it will take A) for SquareEnix to implement the patch, and B) for people to download and install it. Plus, as it's the weekend, it's probable more people could participate.

Schedule for the Day:

All Day: Crafting parties- Gather together around the Ul'dah central fountain and craft till your heart's content. All day event.

11am EST - Goobue Run

Meet at Ul'dah, will run to Camp Dragonhead, by way of up north past Bluefog and through Mor Dhona! (If you don't have a goobue/refuse to use it, chocos are fine. Goobue-ing is encouraged though. :P) No prize, just for fun.

1pm EST - Aetheral Gate & Node Hunting Expedition, Gathering Parties

Aetheral gate & node hunting expedition- Team up to go get those tricky glowing points. (Contact Points: Noloe Tazier, Isilud Tengille) Meet in Gridania Adventure's Guild

Mining/botany/fishing parties Fishers- meet at the Fishers Guild in LL. Botanists- Meet at the Botany Guild in Grid. Miners- meet at the Strip Club Miners Guild in Ul'dah.Parties will be responsible for choosing where to go based on the desires of those who attend.

3pm EST -Clear Cutting Run

Clear-Cutting Run- We go kill some Guardians of the Grove. (Molly Millions is the contact point for this.) Meet at Camp Crimson Bark.

5pm EST - Storming the Strongholds

Storming the Strongholds- with massive amounts of people. Meet at Camp Bald Knoll. We'll do U'Gahmaro Mines, Zahar'ak, and finish in Natalan. 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!

7pm EST - Mor Dhona Danger Race

Danger Race- Mounted race to see who can do two complete counterclockwise laps around Mor Dhona the fastest. Race starts at Camp Brittlebark, and racers must pass through Revenants's Toll (inside the camp, running between the tent and the aetheryte) each lap. First place prize: 1 million gil. Second place: 500k, Third Place: 250k. All entries must set homepoint at Brittlebark- if you die, you have to restart your lap. If another player is willing to revive you, they may do so, but at their own detriment.Teleportation between any of the points will disqualify you. Any abilities you posess (speedsong, fists of wind) that you feel will help you, are allowed. On the beginning of the second lap, you must pass thru the Brittlebark camp, inside the fence, between the tent and the aetheryte. TO FINISH THE RACE, you must run thru Brittlebark the second time, then do an emote of some sort (which one doesn't matter). This will help us ensure the 40-person on screen rule doesn't hinder us in determining the winner if a lot of people show up!

8pm EST - Underwear Run

Underwear Run- everyone strips to their skivies to run on foot from Gridania to The Lance, Coerthas. Meet at the Gridania Adventurer's Guild No prize, just a flock of scantily clad runners.

10pm EST -Rainbow Basilisk Killing

Over the Rainbow- Let's take down some of those pesky lvl 92 Rainbow Basilisks. Because we can. Meet at Camp Revenant's Toll

Midnight EST- World Wide NM Hunts

World Wide NM Hunts-... Dodore, Uraeus, Haughtpox Bloatbelly, Elder Mosshorn, and Great Buffalo. We're taking em out! We'll meet at Camp Bald Knoll, wipe out the Buffalo, choco down to Grid and Ferry over to Thanalan. Chocobo over to Elder Mosshorn, and teleport to Grid. We'll run up to Bloatbelly from there, over to Coerthas for Uraeus, and then tele to Brittlebark for Dodore! If anyone gets drops well and good, but they fall to whoever they fall to, cuz the main point is to have fun!

2am EST - Ending Celebration

Ending the Day with a Bang!- Party in the Amphitheater with fireworks, chocolates, prisms, and other shiny things. Meet at Gridania's Amphitheater.

Don't live in EST? That's cool. Neither do I actually. Handy time converter: HERE.

If you're interested in helping me coordinate this, or wanna volunteer to help out with it, please lemme know, via in game /tell or this thread. Thank you!

I'll be editing this post to keep everyone up to date on the current news.

Balmung is the BEST.
