In the upcoming version update, we will introduce the “Kokba Hostel,” a private room that players will be able to reserve for hour-long time slots.

The concept for the hostel has been developed along the lines of the Marble Bridge Eatery in Upper Jeuno--a place separate from the bustle of the city where players of the same job or race can meet their colleagues. In a similar vein, the Kokba Hostel has been designed to provide a space where adventurers can gather and relax with friends in a private setting.

Main features of the Kokba Hostel:

- The hostel can be found in a Treasures of Aht Urhgan area.
- Reservations can be made for one-hour slots (Earth time).
- Each person who enters the hostel will be required to pay a fee. This fee will be set to an affordable amount.
- Players can make reservations for up to two days in advance, but are limited to one reservation at a time. If the player who made a reservation fails to show, or no reservation has been made for the current time slot, it is possible to reserve the hostel on the spot.
- During the hostel reception period, you will be asked to set a password. Only players who input this password will be able to enter the hostel during your reservation.
- Players will be provided with a variety of temporary party items and food upon entering the hostel.

The hostel can be used for a wide range of functions such as linkshell group strategy meetings before an adventure, wedding receptions, or even a place to celebrate those Ballista victories! The choices are only limited by your imagination!

I think we once discussed having an instanced area for your linkshell to go to like a communal mog house, but actually was useful for things like letting people store gil in a "bank" to let others come and collect instead of trading individually. And things like gear that we often lend out could be stored there and shit so like I could leave my whm jse for someone who needed to borrow it, they take it out and it's flagged ex so they can only give it back through the "bank".

That sounded a bit of a stupid idea but had potential, THIS just seems like a waste of memory

im with whisp and this is why i worry about the expansion.

I mean seriously, they could have used that man power to fix actual problems, not create something no one will even use.

since "waiting" is the most typical activity in this game, this only makes sense.

How does that work, you take off your linkshell and discuss in /say to have everyone around the place hear you?

Actually they told me they're going to do Gil Transfers in there. Your purchase comes with a password.

Hahaha, as soon as I read about the hostel, this is the first thing that came to mind.

I know within 4hrs (2 Matches) after Brenner came out, JPs already started doing JP onry matches. Although NAs still got in and pissed all the JPs off. Who cares about heartless JP robots anyways, they step on cats and burn them alive in bath-tubs.
