Every year in FFXIV, I hold a one-day Pride festival. We parade, we dance, we play games, I give away a ton of gil and gift cards. We've got live DJs from the FFXIV venue scene to play the full day and my fellow hrothgar gay bar alum Thriced Talon is running the stream. It's a big bright lovefest where we dye our clothes pride flag colors and parade as one huge pride flag through the game. We also raise a ton of money for Lambda Legal, a 501(c)3 organization that fights for the full rights of LGBTQ and HIV-positive people. This year we're doing it on Friday, June 14th @ 6PM Pacific / 9PM Eastern. It's such a huge event now that we shut down entire game zones and it's definitely something you wanna see and explore for yourself.
If you've never played FFXIV before, it's not hard to join! The free trial will get you to Primal Pride, you just need to get any character to Level 15 and clear a couple of specific quests. Do this before the big day. All the important details are listed on this page in the Character Requirements section
If you've played but haven't played in a while, THE FREE LOGIN CAMPAIGN IS ACTIVE RIGHT NOW! The first time you log in, you'll get 14 days of free game time added to your account. If you log in today to reacclimate yourself (and maybe help spread the word? ๐) you'll still have enough free game time to get to Primal Pride.
If you're not interested in playing, you can watch us stream the event on Thriced's Twitch Channel and anybody can Support Lambda Legal through our fundraiser!
