Hello Everyone!
So I've been reading this post..
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/60535-The-devs-are-doin-it-let-s-join-in
and I love seeing what everyone has been sharing so far. Since I am currently working on a similar project with tools at my disposal I wanted to try and contribute by creating a site where everyone could meet, chat, organize events and share whatever they wanted.
http://www.ffxivbook.com
Some of the features:
Profiles with many options and settings - including display name change
Buddy Lists
Photo Albums
Comment Walls - Public/Profile
Videos
Groups/Discussions
Events
Chat - Public/Private
Site search
Easy account creation through the site or even sign in with Facebook
Pretty much anything can be set to Public or Private as you desire
You can also toggle email notifications (friend requests, activities etc.)
Possible Uses:
Make new friends or find someone with the same interests/goals/server/location etc.
Share things about yourself or whatever you want from your very own space
Create Events or Groups in different categories - to find groups/raids/similar interests etc.
Anything you wanted to use it for really. If there is something you would like or think should be added I can see if it is possible.
FYI:
If the chat module doesn't load right away just refresh your page. I am still working out a few minor issues but wanted to make sure the website was something that the community would be interested in before I kept going.
I am sure I am forgetting some things but if you have any problems, issues or comments post them here if you like or use the contact form on the website. Since I am at work presently I will stop by when I can.
