The final battle is finally over and has been won by the Heroes of Light! And with this done, the final thread will begin in a few days. In the course of the ending, a drastic choice will be presented to the Heroes of Light. However, in an effort to prevent the conclusion from stalling due to players and characters having to make this decision, the choice in question will be revealed here:

For the Calamity to rest and for all of its shattered consciousnesses to be reborn in a new world of their own making, the Calamity needs a music sheet to restore its Melodies of Life. Where life and death no longer exist, the Calamity needs those who know what life and death are, who went through the pain of living. In short, the Calamity needs Heroes of Light to help it create a new world, where the shattered consciousnesses will be able to live and die in peace. However, characters offering themselves up will die for real. Their sacrifice is a noble one and will bring about rest to the Calamity, but they will die in the process.

You do not have to sacrifice your characters. If no one volunteers the good ending will still unfold, albeit slightly differently. At this point the good ending is guaranteed, so regardless of the presence of volunteers or not, it will still happen. If there are many volunteers however, only four characters will be picked, based on criteria the Calamity needs most. Everyone else will live.

The conclusion thread will begin tomorrow. You have until the end of the week-end to make a choice. If you'd like to sacrifice your character, please reply to this post with the form below. All replies are screened. If you play multiple characters, can only submit one. Characters selected will be contacted by the mods before the thread gets to the point when they have to volunteer ICly. Thank you for your attention!

Hello dear players, this post is for you to contact the moderating team and the archfiend players if it is so necessary. As we are nearing the end of the event's second week, multiple groups are about to move away from their starting location, whereas other groups are about to reach the cities shown on the map.

The threads below are so we can give you what information you need to continue playing freely upon leaving your starting location. For the most part this event is player-driven and as such we will give you what information you need to play without having to rely on modly interventions. However the moderators may intervene to play certain NPCs or certain specific elements in locations or interests. Likewise, the Archfiend players can intervene to interact with characters who are close to their territory.

Please reply to the first thread if you want a NPC (most likely an Archfiend though depending on the characters' location it might be someone else) to intervene within your current post if you want to have your characters encounter someone without reaching one of the cities or locations. Refugee Camps can be used for that.

If you are about to reach a location and want the Moderators to give you more details so you can play it out, then please reply to the second thread. Some locations may be partially played by the moderators or archfiend players, which we will tell you if so.

Thanks for your attention!

Endgame is nearly upon us. During the first phase of endgame, the Heroes of Light will all be stuck in an event and won’t be able to interact with Crystallis anymore. This first phase and what shall result from its conclusion might take a fairly large amount of IC time, though OOCly it might go much faster. As such, it would be wise for the Heroes of Light to hand out instructions to the NPCs—Not just to important NPCs, but also to their friends, people with whom they work, etc. For example it might be members of their Guilds, Doppelgangers, co-workers or just a nice Tarutaru they befriended in Esdham. This will ensure the NPCs can keep the Heroes of Light’s work ongoing even while they are no longer able to do it themselves. The Heroes of Light won’t know for how long they’re gone upon entering the event, so it is best to think to the long-term when handing out instructions.

Please reply to this post with the form below to ensure the Moderators know about what instructions or recommendations you gave the NPCs. The results of the instructions given to NPCs will be reflected in the second phase of Endgame. We will of course keep in mind what influence your character realistically has, what are the odds for NPCs to listen to them and the nature of concerned NPCs. If it’s their best friend amongst unnamed NPCs or if it’s Biggs, it’s most likely the former will follow instructions while the later won’t. Therefore there might be differences between the end result and what they expected when contacting NPCs. If you do not reply to this post by March 05th at the latest, even if you gave instructions to some NPCs in a log we will not take it into account for the second phase of endgame.

Hello everyone! With the plot quickly evolving, a lot more mod interventions will be necessary. Not only for the events, but for player plots and initiatives that will be taken from now till the end of the game. Of course, handling the plot is a lot of responsibility. So if you'd like to help but don't think you could handle managing events, you can also help by reviewing the applications and keeping the various lists up to date. This will give less work and more freedom to the moderators taking care of the events.

The application process is going to be open from the 10th of September (today) to the 30th of September. We will then contact you within the first ten days of October, to tell you our decision. The application process is open to players who have been in the game for a total time of three months at least.

Hello dear players! This short post is to remind everything Calamity awoke today and is now in the process of crystallizing the Imperial City of Hera. As this is happening now, the Imperial City of Hera has been removed from the location list. In its place, a new location has appeared where the Imperial City used to be:

Hello dear players! In the past couple months, Crystallis has opened up considerably with the addition of the Continent of Ruins and the Enterprise. With the New Year a lot of new additions have come as well, such as the Custom Jobs and the plot reveals granted by Palitutu's Secret Reports. And of course, with more player plots and player initiatives every months, the secrets behind the cycle of the Heroes of Light are slowly being revealed!

As it is, we are about already halfway through the overall lifespan of Melodies of Life, take or give a couple months. So like we did back in June, this OOC Post is there so you can discuss about the game among yourselves or give the moderating team suggestions: whether it be plans for future player plots, trying to gauge interest in the playerbase regarding certain ideas, etc. We'll also share some informations about endgame and what awaits the game in the future.

Hello dear players! Next month, we will have a succession of plot-heavy events for the Anniversary of this game. Indeed, on August 3rd, Melodies of Life will have been open for an entire year! The game has nearly tripled in size ever since it first opened and we may cross the milestone of one hundred characters anytime soon. So before we start Melodies of Life's second year, we would like to ask you for your opinions before we take any decisions, and we would also like to listen to any suggestions you may have!

Hello everyone! We are currently looking for one or two helper mods who will help your current mod team with modly things. This is to ensure the game keeps being run smoothly. The application process is going to be open from the 2nd of November to the 15th of November. We will then contact you within the following week, to tell you our decision. The application process is open to already in-game players only. Namely, we need help with the following tasks:

• Application Process
Reading the applications of new players and characters, so as to contribute to the final decision made by the mods. Judging applications is a very serious and stressing job, so don't take it lightly. You are expected to read them entirely and be objective.

• List processing
Essentially, this is all about keeping the game and its various lists up-to-date. When new players app in, adding them to the Taken List and the Player Contact if another mod hasn't done it already. When characters are dropped, subsequently removing them from said lists. Adding them when they apply for an Employment, and so on.

• Coding
This is, of course, totally optional, but someone with knowledge of HTML and all these coding things would be very appreciated.

The mod positions are not related to the plot. Even though you may be led to give your opinion on oncoming plots and posts, you will not be asked to play NPCs or reply to the Contact and Request Posts. As such, the offered mod positions will not ruin your enjoyment of the game. Indeed, you'll still be in the dark as far as the plot is concerned. Being a moderator can be consuming however, so make sure to think it over before posting an application.

Please reply to this post with the form below if you wish to apply: all comments are screened, so no worries, no one will see your application.

Name: Your name.
Plurk: This is the favored method of contact for moderators, so make sure to have one.
Characters: Characters you currently have in game and characters you have dropped, please.
Timezone: The timezone you live in.

Time at your disposal: We all have lives, works, school, etc. However, to be a moderator you need to have a fair amount of time to dedicate to the game. Nothing crazy, but enough to help with modly work, especially the first and last weeks of every months as this is when the Reservation and Application processes go up. Please be honest.

Why do you want to become a moderator: Simple enough, explain us why you want to become a moderator, why you think you would be good for the job. Be as lengthy or as brief as you think you need to be.

Favored duties: We have listed quite a few things above, and we would like to know what you feel most comfortable doing and what you think you couldn't do if you were to become a moderator. Again please, be honest.

Final Fantasy Knowledge: What do you know about Final Fantasy? Knowing a lot about FF isn't a requisite to become a moderator, but the more we know the better.

Anything Else: Have something we didn't ask but you think is worth mentioning? Past modding experience, extensive knowledge from lots of canons, something else? That's where it goes!

If you were a Moogle, what would your name be and what would you do? Don't be fooled, that question is as important as any other!
