ROYAL RUBY • NIGHTCLUB • BEHEMOTH/PRIMAL

[Saefinn]

Looking at the site, it sounds like you charge real gil for food and drinks? Though it's not explicitly stated, but I am inferring it from the fact your most expensive drink has the benefit of getting a chance at a mogstation item and they're really high by any kind of in character standards. Normally I'd see a steak in character for between 100 and 300 gil, not 10,000 gil.

If the case, the concept is not something I'm against, for some it's that extra level of immersion in exchanging real gil, but I'd expect that to be a couple hundred gil at most, because that seems like the right amount you might pay for food and drink in this world.

But the reason I bring it up is because the amount sets off a red flag in that it sounds like its set up to make bank and it has me curious. What benefit would somebody have going to this venue that charges 10,000 gil for a steak over the many venues that don't charge anything? What is it that you guys do better that it's worth people paying that?

The only one I can see is in the 300,000 drink that gives you a chance (and only a chance) to win a mogstation item.

Because to me, if I saw this on my data centre when looking for events and venues that suit concepts or themes that interest me I'd just look somewhere else. But then I am on the data centre with the largest dedicated RP community and have the luxury of there being oodles of choice.

I'd understand a tavern setting, because that's a typical fantasy element. But a full on nightclub or casino? Again, probably not meant to understand it. I've also seen "maid cafes" listed on the party finder, and that's more of an anime thing I guess. Still beyond my comprehension, but I can understand the reason for its existence within the confines of the game.

I'd say its because there a couple of qualities that vary. One is people lore's comprehension and how lore abiding they are. And the other is what people get out of RP.

Tavern RP often has uses for in character meet ups, to get to know new characters. And some go as far as providing entertainment as there are entertainer characters and some people who do some really creative stuff with the in game tools to provide different forms of entertainment, I do some myself, though there are people far better at it than I.

Heck, even room for character development, I've got interesting character development come out of taverns. When I started RPing the concept seemed boring to me and I generally stuck to action, but I learned the benefit of tavern RP and they grew on me.

Nightclubs I guess is a more modern interpretation and possibly with more adult themes, given entertainment in a nightclub context is normally adult in nature. And from the sounds of their site, there's also romantic hook ups. So I expect it's for that kind of RP. From a lore point, there is a nightclub on the first, but it's the only one on the first. And we don't know if the concept exists anywhere on the source. But I don't think too lore bendy for somebody to make one that suits the in game's world.
