An up-and-coming Ultimate Fantasy XIV roleplay group determined one of the simplest ways to carry newcomers to its upcoming summer season bash within the MMO Sport was to promote, however the traditional strategies merely wouldn’t do. As a substitute of shouting on the streets of Limsa Lominsa or wooing passerby on the steps of Ul’dah, the Rain nightclub purchased a couple of billboards in Texas and California, letting the party-minded Warriors of Gentle know the place to go as soon as July 9 rolled round.
A Twitter person related to the group posted the billboards on Twitter (thanks Information.com.au) and talked about the really value little or no to lease, although the posts have since been eliminated. Whether or not that’s from considerations over violating copyright or from some unfavourable neighborhood reactions in Rain’s Discord server is unclear, although it might be the latter.
Sq. Enix tends to be relatively lenient with imposing its Phrases of Service in Ultimate Fantasy XIV. Even most picture mode mods might technically be interpreted as violating the Phrases of Service, although except actions hurt different customers or stand to earn actual cash from utilizing Sq. Enix’s IP, there’s usually little hazard of getting in hassle for bending the foundations a bit in Eorzea.
What apparently landed Rain in sizzling water with followers was the billboard’s relatively selective promoting. The Rain membership presents erotic roleplay providers – not terribly unusual in Ultimate Fantasy XIV, particularly on Rain’s dwelling server of Balmung, unofficially known as the sport’s roleplay server. It’s plainly seen on Rain’s web site – offline on the time of publishing, till the ruckus calms down – and its full listing of providers supplied.
Those that joined the membership’s Discord with out checking their web site had been apparently shocked to search out NSFW channels within the server, earlier than Rain’s modders reportedly eliminated them, angering newcomers and present members alike within the course of and prompting a number of hours of posts haranguing mods about their membership.
Nonetheless, the present will seemingly nonetheless go on, with a DJ and in-game performances, together with an expansive – and admittedly costly, so carry loads of Gil – menu of Ultimate Fantasy drinks and meals objects.
It ought to offer you a pleasant break from patch 6.18 and your island paradise, however when you want various stiff drinks to vary your view of the world. this new mod that upscales each monster texture ought to do the trick.
