MMORPG fans, get ready! WoW and FFXIV players are teaming up for a charity event with in-game battles, community races, and more! Learn all about it, and how you can participate!

Event Overview

From February 24 to February 28, 2025, WoW and FFXIV players will face off in a friendly rivalry, hosting a variety of exciting in-game events to encourage donations. The main event will go down on February 28 at 6 PM EST with a massive raid night, where players will have to clear difficult raid content in both games!

How it Works

Any Wow or FF creator can participate. You will be divided into two teams: one for World of Warcraft Creators and another for Final Fantasy XIV Creators. Progress will be tracked separately, allowing both communities to see how their donations are doing, and can encourage each other to donate more.

Note that this event is not limited to FFXIV: creators from any Final Fantasy title are welcome to participate!

Exciting In-Game Events

Throughout the few days, both communities will host a variety of engaging activities, including:

  • Transmog/Glamour Contests: Show off your best outfits and fashion sense!
  • Scavenger Hunts & Riddles: Solve puzzles and uncover hidden treasures.
  • Hide and Seek: Find hidden players across the two game worlds.
  • Dating Game Shows: A fun and unique take on in-game matchmaking.
  • Music RP Venues & Parties: Celebrate with community DJs and musicians, dressed in heart-themed outfits for Heart Month!
  • Among Us-Style Raids: Identify imposters during alliance raids in FFXIV or LFR/Normal raids in WoW.
  • Help players clear content: the last day, content creators will be helping their communities clear and learn the content of their choice!
