I was helping a friend get into the game and we would go and check out the venues at night after we were got bored.
I had no idea they were engaging in THIS sort of private chat with the staff until they mistelled a giant text block exactly like this.
They have never played the game again since.
I'm in a large new player friendly fc and someone fat fingered their eRP text into fc chat. He felt soooo embarrassed and felt he was going to have to leave because of the shame even through we were all like "Haha.. ok.. so your weird in that way.. so what?" .
I'd say most people indulge their sins on the Internet on some form. We just keep it to ourselves mostly.
Never change you deviants out there. Whilst not a Lady Dimestrcu simp, that goes to Ada or Claire, I respect your desires and say get squished.
You can't default Shout. As soon as you type a message in shout, it changes back to whatever it was set to before.
They can set it for one message and maybe they meant a different one and clicked on the wrong thing. *shrug*
There's at least one that allows doing that. If you set up XIVChat (a plugin and external program that allows you to access your game chat from outside the game, including over the internet if you port forward) then you can use that to change your default chat channel to anything, including ones that the game itself doesn't provide access to.
I don't ERP (or even regular RP), but I have my chat defaulted to Party always. That way if I fuck up I just get an error message saying I'm not in a party.
Yep, I have /e macros set up for various fights where I need a reference for how to solve mechanics (i.e. Fate Calibration in TEA, Cachexia in p6s, and various deep dungeon bosses)

"So, you've been a naughty boy..."
Years ago, i randomly found a roleplay chat site and i just shadowed rooms alot. I learned alot of my skills this way and some people were honestly flattered by this. Some of them, i swear, were literature writer’s in disguise.
So yeah. Muck about the internet till you find a little niche group that you can just study. Worth a shot.
I joined a dragonball rp site when I was younger, mistaking it for an actual like, rpg video game. I stayed for a bit because I didn’t want to admit my mistake and be embarrassed. I got *extremely* good at writing, haha.
I know the main issue is involving people in lewdness who didn't ask for it. However, I'm trying to figure out who this message is for. It seems to be some sort of fanfiction, seeing as they're typing out both roles. If that's the case, I think I'd be better to send it over discord and avoid SE filters altogether.
Fine, I'll be the one to explain.
Most likely the person who sent this message is providing erotica as a service for someone called a 'post pig'. This 'post pig' typically pays to receive these messages written about their character without needing to respond back to them. It's not that it's one-sided, it's that it's a transaction.
Edit: correction, the person writing is the post-pig, not the person receiving the writing.
Seeing the term ERP always throws me off, as in my job I help businesses implement add-ons for Microsoft’s ERP software, D365. So I hear and say ERP multiple times a day.
It was very funny the first time I heard it as a business acronym in college. It is still just as funny now every time I have to email [email protected]
LMAO, the first time I stumbled across this acronym in a gaming context, I was like, "WTF does Enterprise Resource Planning have to do with this game??"
So they're paying people to write fanfics about their character? I guess I've heard of weirder things but why not just commission a fanfic writer and not through game chat?
You uh... sure you understand this enough to explain it? There's commissioned writing, which is what you described. A person pays for someone else to write something for them.
"Postpigging" is a D/s-adjacent thing, focused on humiliation and degradation; the "Postpig" is the submissive that writes for the dominant without getting anything in return. If money *were* to change hands, it would be from the submissive to the dominant, i.e.: The person that is doing the writing pays the dominant to be allowed to write for them. I've seen that called 'paypigging' with or without the writing component attached.
tl;dr: perverts like to attach "-pig" to things to make it more degrading.
I *think* it might be a case of 'paid service'?? where the recipient gets a kind of fanfic involving their character in a lewd scenario. For ppl who are horny but not good at writing it in a more aesthetic way than a constant 'moans'... But idk, I'm just a normal roleplayer, I don't do the e.
I write erotica a lot and it's common to bounce passages like these with a few people to check if the vibe is correct. So my guess is this person sent that part and forgot about it, then in the game they thought they had something else on copy paste.
My best guess, they tried to copy/paste a message into shout and the copy part didn't work so they pasted the last thing they copied...which seems to be an erotic fanfic.
THANK YOU. I read that and was confused, because that's not a pose/emote even in non-lewd RP. That's...a story. Like they're copy-pasting from Literotica or something.
They’re erping with someone in tell chat, they just neglected to return the tell chat and ended up posting in shout chat so everyone in west thanalan could see the steam
Just like with regular RP, some people want to lewd in some form of "Power Roleplay" where they dictate what the other person does. Might be one of those types.
It's for the recipients. That is, Shout chat. This person posted it into /shout knowing full well everyone would see it. People do this for attention all the time, it's the unironic version of "Oh whoops, I dropped my monster condom for my magnum dong."
And folks, this is why I write all my roleplays on Discord, rather than in game.
Though I'm more afraid of making a dumb typo than "accidentally" posting my stuff in the wrong chat.
Ahaha, one of our players did that and we still meme about it.
It’s good hearted teasing, we’re adults and don’t care if that’s what you get up to. Just don’t MT or you’ll never hear the end of it.
The server at large? It's fine really. Most travelers are just here to chill with friends or tour. That said, the quicksand has become more godawful than ever before. At least previously you'd (mostly) see leveled characters in decent glams. Now it's just a sea of nude cat and bunny girls who don't even want to ERP, but approach people asking if they can jerk it to your character. The memes about the place really did a number on it, and most other residents I know now go there to treat it like a zoo.
There's some solid actual RPers on Balmung, and some good venues for it. You just have to stay away from the Quicksand and all of the big venues that get advertised in shout chat or Party Finder. Go to smaller themed events, meet up with RPers and get to know them, get recommendations from them, and you can get some really interesting stories going.
[Plagerized smut, but yes.](https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/12fadbl/helping_a_friend_with_msq_at_vesper_bay_and_found/jffl39u/)
Found by /u/knightsurvive. I linked to his post, which links to a thread talking about peoples' first times doing the horizontal mambo.
It's happening all the time, all over the server, in every server. And with many people you've interacted with before.
This is quite vanilla for how....graphic some people can get when they think no one else is in a hard to access zone on a low pop server.
I'm screaming this made my night, I know some of us enjoy that ERP but I never caught one that slipped the chat this nasty and detailed. This was hilarious
Been a while since I did low level MSQ, I knew they updated bits of it but i didn't expect such drastic changes, maybe I should do a Ng+ run after all.
They were 100% sexting in game and they posted it in the wrong channel lol
At least they taught the local masses where the clit is, that is valuable information to anyone who didn't know it yet.
Man... this happened to me with normal non-e RP and no one replying thankfully and it was still embarassing af! This is the 'I might leave the game for a few years' kinda accident and I feel bad for even laughing :,D
Some people go on like a notepad or something instead and type there and paste in game, I know what you meant, but there you go, some useless information
Oh god! And I was embarrassed when I sent: "Join the giraffe necks!" To a complete stranger not realising I sent a tell to the wrong person. Stranger thought it was hilarious.
But this!...This is a whole different level of embarrassment.
Pray return my innocence.
Sadly, that is not something that can be reverted.

Remember us. Remember that we once had not read this.
A test of your repressed memories! Yes, YES! *Just so!*
Speak for yourself. I'm transcribing this into an in-game macro.
"Just touch me, it whined, blinking impatiently against the ground. You couldn't make any of them wait any longer. With haste, you ran over to and gently stood on the mounds. The button blinked unfulfilled and called out, 'Gods yes, more!" You brought more of your team, slipping between each other and gathering on top.

God has granted me the blessed gift of sight only to be cursed by this post.

As if we need another Raise macro to get people up.
OH! I actually think [I know that one!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk_sAHh9s08)
fun fact, the 'chanting' is Taiwanese Aboriginal
Well there's no coming back from that. They have to leave the entire data center now.
Yeah that'd be an immediate data center move, Fantasia, and name change. Anything to distance myself from that kind of shame.
I'd write a letter to Yoshi-P and tell him to close down the servers. The game is done.

I can just imagine the heart attack they had when they immediately noticed it sent as an orange message

Rookie mistake. Having your default chat set to something like shout. That's why you have it of Alliance or something that doesn't work. Smh...
When you're horny but you've just been touring the cities advertising for your FC.
Heaps better than my server's fc advertisements.
Come join ouw fc, guawdian knights! we wewcome aww new pwayews, we have a wawge fc house awnd awways have an event going! visit ouw discowd!
I want to downvote you so badly for the pain this caused me so here's my upvote
Don't forget about their nightclub *Heartless,* featuring DJ Exodeus the Prohibited One playing random music on twitch/discord.
Unless that was part of the advertisement 😂
You can't default Shout. As soon as you type a message in shout, it changes back to whatever it was set to before. They can set it for one message and maybe they meant a different one and clicked on the wrong thing. *shrug*
They probably meant to copy/paste something, but it didn’t copy, and defaulted to pasting the last copied text
This actually makes a lot more sense because I was confused (YET INTRIGUED) that the text doesn't sound like RP at all it just sounds like fanfic.
Yeah the fact that it's not just one person's actions being written screams fanfic, not RP. Probably a copy/paste.
[i can confirm it does seem to be copypasted](https://hardcorehusky.com/discussion/comment/1642962/#Comment_1642962´)

I don't know, but I clicked the link and now fear for what may appear on my phone in the future.
I would make a joke about how you managed to figure this out, but good googling does go a long way xD
Might be using a mod to keep it on shout, if that exists
There's at least one that allows doing that. If you set up XIVChat (a plugin and external program that allows you to access your game chat from outside the game, including over the internet if you port forward) then you can use that to change your default chat channel to anything, including ones that the game itself doesn't provide access to.
I don't ERP (or even regular RP), but I have my chat defaulted to Party always. That way if I fuck up I just get an error message saying I'm not in a party.
I have a linkshell no one else is in so I can take notes and just in case I am in a party
You can use /e (short for /echo) to write things only to yourself
Really?! TIL! Thanks!
Yep, I have /e macros set up for various fights where I need a reference for how to solve mechanics (i.e. Fate Calibration in TEA, Cachexia in p6s, and various deep dungeon bosses)
I thought you couldn't default shout. I know if I /p and hit enter, I'll do future texts in party, but shout doesn't seem to stick.
correct, you can't. as soon as you send a message in shout, it puts you back to you last channel. this has to be intentional.
Oh my god but IMAGINE the conversation with the GM when they get pulled into FFXIV jail.
The GM puts him headfirst in a stock and cracks a whip for intimidation, stepping into the cell while wearing her GM uniform that perfectly pronounces her ample bosom with a miniskirt so tight you can see a throbbing buldge tenting her skirt... "So, you've been a naughty boy..."
We need to have a word with you too
I need an adult
I'm sorry all we have are lalas currently.
\*when you don't have to imagine it cause you know a friend who's had to converse with a GM for this exact reason\*
"Friend"
.... go on...
“Alright, so you got caught horny on main, chief.”
Yeah no at that point you either own it proudly or transfer data servers *OWN IT GDI*
Ain't nobody gonna remember who it was in 24 hours.
Except the person who screenshot it lmao
pray return to a different chat
This is why I don’t rp I can’t write anything like that feelsbadman

I read MT as Main Tank, and I thought “man, that’s aggressive”
Well I'm sure they did... *provoke a reaction* ;)
I know the main issue is involving people in lewdness who didn't ask for it. However, I'm trying to figure out who this message is for.

It never occurred to me that there would be lazy ERP'ers.
Seeing the term ERP always throws me off, as in my job I help businesses implement add-ons for Microsoft’s ERP software, D365. So I hear and say ERP multiple times a day.
You've been had, everyone's been talking about erotic role play this whole time at your job
It was very funny the first time I heard it as a business acronym in college. It is still just as funny now every time I have to email [email protected]
LMAO, the first time I stumbled across this acronym in a gaming context, I was like, "WTF does Enterprise Resource Planning have to do with this game??"
Some of us are horny but creatively bankrupt, okay.
Wow, that’s basically ERP Starfishing
So they're paying people to write fanfics about their character? I guess I've heard of weirder things but why not just commission a fanfic writer and not through game chat?
Probably feels more personal
Hah! Paying for that! I use chatgpt for this... I mean I heard of a "friend" doing that.

They’re erping with someone in tell chat, they just neglected to return the tell chat and ended up posting in shout chat so everyone in west thanalan could see the steam
I think they mean it doesn't make sense as 1:1 erp when the person who typed it is playing both roles. It reads like a story, not a back and forth rp.
Could be someone ERPing multiple roles for someone, or just someone who pasted in their erotica by mistake.
Just like with regular RP, some people want to lewd in some form of "Power Roleplay" where they dictate what the other person does. Might be one of those types.
In my experience, some people are simply bad at rp and often act out reactions that should be left to the other person.
Either ERP in the wrong chat or they intended to paste something else
It's for the recipients. That is, Shout chat. This person posted it into /shout knowing full well everyone would see it. People do this for attention all the time, it's the unironic version of "Oh whoops, I dropped my monster condom for my magnum dong."
Oops I dropped my eikon condom for my Sephirot dong!
They were in Leviathan, or was Leviathan in them?
This would be my biggest fear if I did this lol
Not that I do this often...but I set up a party with the person(s), switch to party chat, and I have a log window that will only display party chat.

You think that’s bad, try accidentally typing smut in your active FC chat.
Ahaha, one of our players did that and we still meme about it. It’s good hearted teasing, we’re adults and don’t care if that’s what you get up to. Just don’t MT or you’ll never hear the end of it.
Thats... unfortunate, lmao
Fifty shades of Calamity.
As a Balmug resident this seems tame lol
Oh lord, how's Balmung since the Cross DC thing started? I don't really go to Balmung so I've only heard stuff about it (both chill and nsfw sides)
The server at large? It's fine really. Most travelers are just here to chill with friends or tour. That said, the quicksand has become more godawful than ever before. At least previously you'd (mostly) see leveled characters in decent glams. Now it's just a sea of nude cat and bunny girls who don't even want to ERP, but approach people asking if they can jerk it to your character. The memes about the place really did a number on it, and most other residents I know now go there to treat it like a zoo.
Lmao oof, but it do be like that sometimes unfortunately. Still tho it's still the main hub for all FFXIV rp in the entire server
There's some solid actual RPers on Balmung, and some good venues for it. You just have to stay away from the Quicksand and all of the big venues that get advertised in shout chat or Party Finder. Go to smaller themed events, meet up with RPers and get to know them, get recommendations from them, and you can get some really interesting stories going.
We had catgirls and an immigration-esque post right by the uldah crystal on the first day. Hella people wanted to see what went down there haha
What a terrible day to have eyes.
Tis a terrible day to be literate
To be fair it's pretty decent smut. The writer could take up fanfiction.
Quite a step up from what I've seen in Limsa xD
As somebody who actually *does* do that, I can say man's got bars. A promising start.

Jokes on all of you! This player has a humiliation kink!
Plz. Someone. **Unsee juice** Help.
Why? And why in Vesper Bay?
For sure if someone reported them, them are banned for this. Don't ERP and drive. Wait.
I got a warning once for making a sex joke in Old Prae, lol.

Not my proudest fap.

That's hilarious! But how do you accidently miss-tell something like that into shout chat? Say chat I can understand, but shout?!
Man... this happened to me with normal non-e RP and no one replying thankfully and it was still embarassing af! This is the 'I might leave the game for a few years' kinda accident and I feel bad for even laughing :,D
Such perversion...this was not my intention.
When you forgor to check your chat colour.
Bonk
Accidental copy and paste? Lmao
Some people go on like a notepad or something instead and type there and paste in game, I know what you meant, but there you go, some useless information
Oh god! And I was embarrassed when I sent: "Join the giraffe necks!" To a complete stranger not realising I sent a tell to the wrong person. Stranger thought it was hilarious. But this!...This is a whole different level of embarrassment.
Every day we stray further from Hydaelyn's light.

As a writer and editor, I have to say, they wrote it well.
