The real, functioning Gil economy is so funny to me. I had a friend who worked an actual job in FXIV, with a schedule and everything, and got paid in Gil. I think it’s also worth noting that this job was as a server in a maid cafe (the wonder of online anonymity). He desperately needed some extra Gil so he begrudgingly took up the job. Sometimes they would have company meetings in discord where they had to speak.

Side note: of course crafting is for armor and weapons and food and stuff. But you can also craft things for your house, further making crafting constantly viable. Carpenters can make tables and chairs, blacksmiths can make metal props for the house, etc. It’s such a deep system that helps multiple other systems in the game.

crafting is so addicting in FFXIV I have 2 fully leveled omnicrafters lol

The other important thing is that anything used in a house can no longer be traded. So anything removed from the system must be replaced by new crafting. And housing pieces used in the advanced placement and building processes are always in demand because they get "used up" during decoration. You can make decent money on those.

@@Draconic74 Right. And it takes many many pieces of things like wardrobes, backs of bookcases, pieces of walls to create complex designs.

It all depends. I'm on Light and the erp is just part of the underworld - people go to the nightclubs to actually meet, listen to music, chill, socialize. Nothing even bit nsfw can go on public chat, and there's strict rules to it all. But first of all, erp is NOT cybersex. You're not paying to get laid with someone, or even their character - but for them to weave you an artwork of your preference. Think of it as paying someoe to draw you a nsfw fanart within your tastes, or writting a piece of fiction for you to enjoy. Doesn't matter who paints it, as long as it portrays what you secretly want to see. Though, of course i will prefer a man playing male catboy, so the wordcraft of is more genuine. And even on Light there's few places - mostly german owned - that are shallow and tacky. Hardly enjoyable.

[@GuyWithAnAmazingHat]

Well I'm on Tonberry, the Japanese and Asian server, so I think if ERP exists here it must be really hidden. I'm not very social in the game, the most social I get is during raids, otherwise I'm just doing MSQ and crafting so this is definitely cool to learn about.

You can hold whatever opinion you want about RP, but this is the kind of stuff that turns MMOs from games into virtual worlds. I feel like so many games in the genre miss that extremely important point And this is just one of the player driven evolutions of the systems in the game. From people working as designers, to crafters making furniture, there is so much community involvement in all aspects of this. It doesn't even have to be about RP, it's just an aspect of it. I've seen player made pubs, arcades, etc where people just hang out, meet, play Triple triad or minigames, etc. At the end of the day, the community is what makes MMOs special from the rest. Player driven content is endless, engaging and gives a lot of life to what otherwise could just be considered a big online lobby

[@davidlazerz8564]

and its this kind of stuff that give groomers a chance to hook some gullible kids. Are they checking IDs? Are they vetting any of their "erp" workers? Something tells me no and that should scare you. Consenting adults should be able to do whatever they want, but 99% of these "ERP" cafes/clubs/studios have ZERO protections and accountability which is ESPECIALLY dangerous online where a person is not physically present to confirm their identity.

[@anti-macro]

@@davidlazerz8564 These clubs and experiences are quite out of the way from the normal game, to the point that a chunk of the playerbase doesn't even know of their existence. It's extremely unlikely for a kid to just wander inside one of them, and even less likely that groomers would be lying in wait in places like that. If anything the issues you're describing are problems with gaming in general. Games like Minecraft or Fortnite that specifically target a young demographic are incredibly more dangerous and vulnerable to groomers than FFXIV or most other MMOs could ever be, even without established and organized ERP hangouts.

[@TotemoGaijin]

The most social I ever saw people get on the server I played on in WoW was Barrens Chat or a random blood elf dancing on a post box...so the scale at which people are doing things in FF14 is a bit mind boggling. Even just being out doing a Fate, and you see some party of adventurers swing by, drop in to help out, and then march off to fight one of those big monsters, or seeing one person who never seems to log out, but always seems to be afk and just dancing at the crystal in Ul'dah. I just wish I had friends who played.

To be honest, I got this game after watching Asmongold play it. I liked it, the MSQ was a lot of reading though didn’t like it to much. However, after I went to a Bard concert then got invited to a night club I was hooked. I was running around, didnt even know how to walk. Everyone was emoting and I didn’t know how. But the club was open a few times a week and by the 5th time going there I had emotes ready and I got myself a casual outfit. It was awesome, I made friends and we chill there at night after a long day of MSQing or raiding. Its awesome man, I love the RP nightlife of this game.

I don't know, as a frequent ERPer in VRChat I beg to say VRChat is on a whole other level.

Years ago, I played Star Wars Galaxies online. The game was set up in such a way that one could run a whole city. We had our own Jedi Temple, Navy, vendors.. ex..ex.. Loved it. We RP'd hard core. Had a Jedi council. Too many people are too interested in PvP rather than building good communities.

[@Spills51]

Many moons ago in Lotro the housing communities had it were you could allow anyone into your estate or just friends or no one. It was a setting....I would imagine the houses you entered were set to allow you to do so....I mean...why make such a beautiful interior if no one can see your hard work, right? I dont miss mmo's all that much but I will always feel fondly for those that had the real effort put forth into the extras like housing communities etc. It was something you could put your mountain of $$ towards once you were end game for many of us. Every mmo should have be required to have such an option..it only makes it better imo. This was a really cool vid, ty for doing it!

Holy shit, bro. This game is fucking amazing. I wouldn't ever take part in an eRP like this but the fact that it's DOABLE is so impressive to me.

[@JannetFenix]

It all depends. I'm on Light and the erp is just part of the underworld - people go to the nightclubs to actually meet, listen to music, chill, socialize. Nothing even bit nsfw can go on public chat, and there's strict rules to it all. And the DJs in these clubs make up to 6 million gil a night. I personally work in a casino and my job, aside of wearing cute bunny outfit, is to talk and welcome, and encourage guests while they're gambling gil in broker-hosted games. But first of all, erp is NOT cybersex. You're not paying to get laid with someone, or even their character - but for them to weave you an artwork of your preference. Think of it as paying someoe to draw you a nsfw fanart within your tastes, or writting a piece of fiction for you to enjoy. And even on Light there's few places - mostly german owned - that are shallow and tacky. Hardly enjoyable.

A lot of clubs just have bars, VIP area and twitch DJs. I'm not into brothels, they're a lot more common than they were, but there are still a ton of clubs and RP venues without courtesans for hire lol. A lot of people that do this love the twitch music and the social aspect, and don't ERP. Cheers!

@@Maatkare There's a lot of the nightlubs with dancers - where you can hire them for a dance in a booth. Sort of a lapdance fantasy rp, but more suggestive and graphic than "explicit". No touching! From a sfw rp you can usually spot a talent - an unpolished gem that MAY - if they want - get further once they feel more confident. I find joy in seeking hidden talents myself.
