…or rather, something I wanted to highlight since it’s on one of the last pages of the Census.
You probably know by now that here at HS/SS as a Community Site, we don’t really post about the various news and topic-items that are on the Playonline website, simply because every other site and their mom has it up. Chances are you see it at FFXIclopedia, Limit Break Radio or Pet Food Alpha anyway!
But check out this part about the Online Community Relations team! It’s got something to do with the player events we discussed on the Podcast Tour episode early last month with Matt Hilton and Opal Flame.
[ OCR ]
Lastly, we would like to explain a little about the OCR (Online Community Relations) team.
The OCR team is tasked with handling everyday e-mails from users.
The most numerous topics in inquiries are regarding the Community Sites page and different FINAL FANTASY XI contests that the OCR team manages.
Recently, we have received a lot of e-mails from players who would like help in events they are organizing, such as weddings.
The OCR team is currently already involved in helping different group events through actions such as the placement of special objects and so on.
There have also been requests from users who have participated in events we have assisted in or read about them on websites or in the game, expressing interest in receiving the same kind of assistance.
The OCR team is currently involved in the advancement of a project called “Player Event Support” to help players hold events that will create long-lasting memories.
There are many other new services planned, based on inquiries, opinions, and requests from FINAL FANTASY XI users. And not just within the game! We are also involved in the planning of contests and events with fan sites, and much more!
If you have any ideas or concerns about community site management, future events, or even just something that’s popped up in everyday gameplay, feel free to send an e-mail to the team!
We use your suggestions as the driving force to create an active community that everyone can enjoy without worry.
They’re pretty serious about this! I really do feel that we, the players have more to add to the game that we think. The game has a lot to offer, but it’s up to us how we make them enjoyable! Think of the possibilities; Moblin Maze Mongers tournaments where teams of 6 competing for the best time in the same maze. Or chocobo races starting from Bastok, with bird-stops in Jeuno with the goal set in at the Sanctuary of Zi’tah/Ro’Maeve zoneline?
These are examples from events we’ve done in Hyozan, but they could potentially be fun server-based events!
