FFXIV talk:Recruitment
The TL;DR;
Alea Iacta Est [AIE] on Goblin is recruiting friendly players, of all levels, experience, and play styles.
Who is AIE?
Alea Iacta Est [AIE] is a large, family friendly gaming community that spans many games.
AIE was founded in 2007 for World of Warcraft and has added many games over the years. You may find our FFXIV Free Company on the Goblin server in the Aether Datacenter NA.
What is AIE
A community of gamers. Our Free Company is a home; a place to relax or raid with friends. There is no one focus or playstyle, just a friendly atmosphere of courtesy and friendship. We are raiders, role-players, casuals, crafters, and more. AIE is a home to all play styles and for the newest or most veteran of players. AIE is a Free Company that does not focus on one type of play style, but we are a home for those that want to experience the games that we play where the players respect each other and is a friendly place to play. We accept those of all play styles, all levels of experience or skill.
What AIE Members are like
We are an accepting group of friendly players who foster an atmosphere of mutual respect and helpfulness.
Some members have known each other for well over ten years, and view the community as an extended family. We have watched each other grow, raise families, and play together over the year. We encourage a family friendly environment for all in our public areas. Many are online every day, chatting in Discord and playing FFXIV or partaking in any other relaxing distraction.
"Family friendly" doesn't mean we aren't up for progression raiding or challenges in all aspects of the game. We believe you can succeed and enjoy the game while fostering an atmosphere of courtesy and respect.
I'm new to the game. How can AIE help?
A new player to the game can expect a patient and helpful group of people eager to help you understand the various systems, lore, and options available to you. Many of our members are veterans of this game and can readily help you step into the fantastic world of Final Fantasy XIV. You only need the courage to speak up and ask for assistance. We are here to help, whether it's helping you understand your skills and abilities, that that first step into the first dungeon, navigate the crafting systems, show you how to dress your best for those in-game and community events, or just want to chat about how awesome Chocobos are.
I'm not completely new to this rodeo, or I'm at the end-game...
Many AIE players have at least one job (or all?!) at max level. If you are looking for those end-game activities from extreme trials to raids , advise on optimized gear selections, or fine-tuning strategies with other like-minded number crunchers... we have you covered.
What is raiding / PVP / Statics like in AIE?
We don't cater to any one specific playstyle or try to force anyone into one. You can find others in AIE who enjoy raiding, PvP, and static groups. Any player may organize groups to venture into any of these activities. Set your own schedules, expectations, and requirements. You do not need the permission of the leadership to do so, but are welcome to seek the advice or assistance of an officer on how to establish groups and seek out like-minded members. Some are content to float and fill in for various groups as their schedules permit.
Community Events
We believe MMOs are as much about the player driven events as it is the scripted content available in the game. Sure, we enjoy grouping with fellow Free Company members to accomplish daily roulette activities, and the limited time and seasonal events. However, we also gather each week for "fun nights" to chat and partake in any activities needed by members: story content, treasure maps, dungeons, raids, fashion shows, or working on contest entries for Square Enix sponsored events.
