What about having a live chat room attached to the site!! Â Or like a live shout box? Â I'd love the chat room idea, for when people can't access the game.

I suggest to add a "Guide / Lore" section under the RP discussion forum so we can separate people who discuss about RP in general or ask some questions from those who are working on some guides or gather some lore to make some big informative posts. It would be really easier to find what you're looking for and to valorise the people work that way rather than in the middle of those thousands topic all together

I really really wish we had a #IRC or Chat Channel.

I'm working on live chat functionality as one our Patreon tiers. As Yoshi-P would say, "please look forward to it."
Turning off the gallery feed is something I can probably arrange. Let me look at what my template field options are and I'll see if I can't set that up. As for lore, my recommendation is for lore posts to go on the wiki; we have an entire Lore category for them, in fact! I'd love to see more lore articles written there for people to reference.

I think you might have misunderstood Ilwe's suggestion.
There's a lot of posts in the RP section that are "general" to RP. Character building and how to roleplay out of your comfort zone etc. However, there's also a lot of posts that are more geared towards the RP that is specific to FFXIV where it deals with questions of lore and what may be more acceptable etc. A section mainly for the lore enthusiasts to help those would help separate the two. |

I'm generally very conservative on creating more forums, preferring a "less is more" philosophy; however, if there's enough regular lore hunting activity, and there's an easy way for mods and users to be able to distinguish which posts go where, I think it might be a viable option. This may be an opportunity for a poll. The Freelance Wizard

I second that idea. Recently I've been trying to read up on some FFXIV lore for a new character, but it feels like it's scattered and I'm hopping around the web for tidbits. It would be convenient to have a dedicated section for lore and the like.

Writing on a forum is somehow more convenient and "natural" and you cannot write guides either on wiki. I think that people who write some lore informations are interested by people comments, discussions etc. which is not really possible on the wiki. I believe that most of us are using the wiki as a tool to know about each others characters and the forum to dig for the lore / guides ^^ .
