Ol' Factory FFXIV

Our social media accounts here and on Xitter will remain up, but largely inactive.
Our website on carrd will shut down after March 31st.
It has been our pleasure. ♥️

Signed, with love,
-Management

That being said, we enjoyed the company of all who stopped by over the last year or so, and are immensely thankful for the support shown by friends and new acquaintances alike.

This was not an easy decision to make, but a rather necessary one. Over time, certain personal circumstances drained the passion and energy had when Ol' Factory first opened, and it got to the point where our heart was just no longer in our weekly openings.

Hello, all! We emerge from weeks of inactivity with a rather somber announcement. It is with heavy hearts that we must announce, despite prior hopes to the contrary, Ol' Factory will not be reopening in April. In fact, effective immediately, the venue is permanently shut down.

FEATURED RETAINER for the week of February 25th!
We can honestly say, unequivocally, undoubtedly, with our entire heart and ass, that this IS Thancred.

Only three openings left until the Great March Hiatus!

That being said, exhaustion is starting to settle in. In the hopes of avoiding any kind of burnout, and considering the imminent release of patch 7.2, Ol' Factory management has elected to close for the month of March 2025.
Thank you for your understanding!

Hey all, just wanted to make an announcement regarding March 2025.
We've been open pretty steadily since August of 2024, closing only to holidays and a personal issue. The end of this current month will make 7 straight months of openings!

Hello, all! Since we're to be closed on December 24th, the Ol' Factory is having our Starlight celebration TONIGHT!

Come in your best festive attire, if you so desire!

You'll notice that our upstairs level looks a little different! To account for the seating lost by the addition of the billiards and darts, and to provide a more private space for chats outside the main action, we've remodeled our top level to hold private seating!

Catch him in Wicked, now in theaters!
...oh, wait, that's not G'raha Tia in Wicked, that's Jonathan Bailey.
Point still stands.

Finally, we now have Billiards and Darts available for patrons to play! Visit our carrd (olfactory.carrd.co#funandgames) to learn about how to play during your next visit!

The mysterious vending machine, while in a new location, remains lurking menacingly in the background.

Next, tonight marks the debut of our new layout! New furnishings made available with patch 7.1 have led to the introduction of new chat text games and expanded bar seating!
