About Ghoul

About Us

Ghoul is an 18+ FFXIV Free Company on Lamia / Primal with too many houses and a Discord that is somehow still alive. Different playstyles are fine. We mostly care that people show up and know how to behave around others.

Do you like yelling at Lalafell?

Would you like to sacrifice their wicked souls in the name of the Almighty Turkey Lord Bahamut?

Do you think drinking Ｃｌｏｒｏｘ is the answer to all your problems? Then Ghoul might just be the Free Company for you!

Ghoul was created on 04/05/2015 and has been going strong since then. New members are expected to talk and join things instead of disappearing into the roster.

What kind of members are we looking for?

We want players who talk and join things instead of treating the FC like a buff machine with names attached.

Ghoul welcomes different types of players regardless of experience and playtime. We care more about whether people click with the group than what content they run. There are members with different play styles from hardcore ultimate raiders to garden decorations to hardcore ERP service providers.

If you spend most of your time fishing instead of doing raids, that's fine. If you spend more time tackling savage/ultimate content, that's also fine. If you spend most of your time crafting an obscene amount of chocobo pillars, that's also fine! You could spend your days ERP'ing in the filthy streets of Limsa Lominsa for all we care, the only thing that matters is that you will get involved with the FC and that the rest of the FC likes you.

We ask members to be around enough that people know who they are. Say hi, check Discord, join events when you can.

New members are given a 3 week trial period to see how they fit in with us and to see if they like it here. If you don't log in for more than 2 weeks during your trial period, you are removed from the FC unless you asked an officer to place you in the AFK rank.

What do we do for fun?

We host events from time to time both inside the FC and server-wide. Some of the activities we have are:

• Murder Mystery Nights
• Ghoul Quest™
• Movie Nights
• Zombie Tag
• Art Nights
• Bingo!
• Raiding Towns in Magitek Armor
• Hide and Seek
• Pokemon Tournaments
• Cards Against Humanity
• Reading Pokemon erotica out-loud on Discord
• PvP Tournaments
• Roleplay Events
• Listening to music on Discord
• Extreme Primal Farm Parties
• End-game Content Learning Parties
• Races (We have 5+ race tracks!)
• 2 Truths 1 Lie
• Free-for-All Treasure Map Nights

We also host FC meetings every 2-3 weeks for new members and whatever the group needs to argue about next.

Hosting Events

Anyone in Ghoul can host events. Send an Officer or S-Rank the details and they can put it on Discord.

Upcoming events can be seen on the calendar and in Discord. Discord shows the time in your local timezone, so you do not need to convert it yourself.

To RSVP, open the event in Discord and click Interested. Discord sends reminders for events you mark as interested.

Out of respect for everyone, please remove your Interested status if you can no longer make it.

FC Houses

Ghoul has themed houses for events and other terrible ideas. See the Housing Gallery for addresses and details.

Free Company Rules

Players must be 18+ to join the Free Company.

Maturity is required because of the uncensored nature of our FC and because we're not a daycare.

Drama will not be tolerated.

Starting or bringing conflicts/drama into Ghoul is grounds for immediate removal without warning.

Respect other players.

We expect people to know how to respect boundaries and not cross the line in the form of discrimination of any kind, such as based on gender, ethnicity, or sexual preference.

Self-Control.

Everyone is accountable for their own actions regardless of whether they are having a bad day, are under the influence of alcohol/drugs, mental illnesses, mood swings, etc.

The first tab of the Free Company Chest is free to use for anyone, but be considerate and only take what you need.

Inclusiveness and Involvement

Be friendly and take part in the FC.

Cliques are frowned upon and will be dealt with in extreme cases.

Excessive Complaining

Cases of constant complaining and whining in free company chat will be dealt with. Regular negativity isn't healthy for the free company and only pushes others away from you.

Learning and Clear Parties

Ghoul hosts learning or clear parties for current content from time to time and it is important to know the difference between the two:

• Learning parties - For learning mechanics without Party Finder stress. Be patient with others when you're in a learning party, as toxic behavior will result in a warning.

• Clears - Not for learning but rather for polishing off the last mechanics and getting a clear. You are expected to have seen and understand most/all mechanics in the fight.

• Farm Parties - For people who have already cleared the content and want to run it for loot/mounts/etc. People who haven't cleared may be taken for these, but only if they've been to enrage and know all mechanics.

For all three, you still need to know your job and clear the SSS dummy consistently for that fight. If you need help learning your class, you can check the useful links discord channel for job guides!

Leaving Ghoul

Leaving the free company is permanent and final a dumb decision. We will not ask for reasons or bother people when they leave, but if you left on good terms and you were promoted to Ghoul rank at least you may rejoin once. After that, you may not rejoin under any circumstance. You may ask an officer for permission to leave temporarily for less than a week but only for a reason the officers approve as valid (like decorating someone's house or helping a friend with starting an FC.)

Regarding Inactivity

In Ghoul we remove inactive players and recruit often to keep it from becoming a graveyard.

Removal occurs at these times from your last log in:

• New Members - 14 days
• Regular Members - 75 days
• AFK Rank - 150 days
• Members with a Decorated FC Room - 3000 days

Need an exception? Ask an officer.

If you still happen to be removed for inactivity, you are welcome to join back without having to apply again. However, if you join another FC when you come back from inactivity, it will count as leaving and you will not be able to join back. If you've read up to here, the keyphrase to be accepted is "loogie scientist". For AFK rank, send an officer a /tell or Discord DM.
