Large Social Events

[Lucretia]

How would one go about hosting large social events? Say...balls, carnivals, etc, etc?

I would imagine money would be an issue so no new player really has a chance to 'host' such an event, but might be nice from time to time to see characters pop in and socialize and maybe the thread only lasts for say a month and then some xp is awarded or something-new contacts made, new items acquired-whatever.


I hope this is the right place to put this--not really sure.


Cheers!

I imagine the general advice you'll receive is to roleplay it out...have Lucretia seek out a party or a host/hostess so she can find out where the cool kids are hanging out after dark. Obviously, if you do get to a high enough wealth tier, you could certainly make arrangements to host your own, but outside of that, I expect playing it out and fumbling around in the dark to see if you can receive an invitation for - or gate-crash - a party is the way to go.

Side note: this is a great place for questions related to the game itself.

'Cool kids.' Not exactly what I am looking for per say. Just looking for large events that happen in the city/ies/territories more or less. Maybe I didn't convey that correctly.


Anywho, I am hearing not gonna happen for a good while (or ever), thanks for pointing me in the right section regardless.

Ah...this may be of help, then?

Holidays in Aelyria - Aelyria

There's festivals during Wintertide, Springtide, and other occasions.

This type of thing used to happen occasionally when there were city-based mods... not so much anymore. It's safe to assume that such things are still going on, though.

I mean, there's nothing preventing you (and everyone else) from saying "hey, lets all get together in X city and celebrate wintertide (or whatever) together!" Something for the matchmaker forum, I suppose? It would just take some OOC organizing, but that's standard for any adventure thread.

Also, why is Markalin the only god represented under religious holidays in the Holidays of Aelyria wiki? Er. I'm retroactively blaming Eli.

Perfect. Thank you, Lyr

I wondered this same thing. Carmelya has a couple listed under the general holiday section but mostly they seem under represented. Time to World Forge.

Eli REALLY likes holidays.
