WHO WE ARE
Zero Eight Prime <Z.E.P.> is a progression focused Free Company located in the Siren Server on the Aether Datacenter with unique and exclusive perks for its raiders / members.
​
We operate on the principle and understanding that the strength of the group is not based on the one individual but on the collective effort of all.
An investment on your part into your fellow FC members is a direct investment into you.
Our goal is to cater and fill our roster with all kinds of players with a special focus on endgame players. We don't actively recruit newer players, which means, we prefer seasoned players who have been playing FFXIV for a considerable amount of time. We like to see solid / dedicated in game activity history showing consistency in play, goals and achievements in all prospective members. Having said that, we will look at each case individually. If it is determined there is potential in a newer player, we will consider a newer player's application. Reach out and find out how you too can become a valuable addition to our Free Company.
RAIDING AND ENDGAME
Our primary goal as a Free Company is establishing a healthy community of endgame players who enjoy endgame content. We encourage up and coming raiders who lack experience to also apply as we can train / teach a new generation of future raiders via our beginner and more casual groups.
We also offer the opportunity and resources to established long time members, who might be interested in raiding in the future at the rank of raid lead, by forming their own internal group.
In other words, there is room for growth within the Free Company for long standing members. We can assist by offering leadership mentoring, unique resources and hands on experience to train a new generation of raid leaders in charge of progression players.
We invite you to see what we are all about by encouraging you to seek your place within the Free Company at either a rank of member, raider or in a raid lead position. You wont know how far you can go unless you give yourself a chance, put that application in and find out.

F.A.Q.
I am not a raider, can I still apply?
​
Yes, we accept all types of players and we are also ok with bringing in your friends so you can keep your play group intact. "Member" ranks have no time requirements so you come and go as you please. "Raider" ranks are required to have a minimum playtime due to the nature of their activities in order to be competitive and prepared for endgame activities.
​
What if I want to become a raider and have no prior experience?
​
If you can find an internal raid group with the requested role you plan to play open, the final decision is up to the Raid Leader assigned to that group. We treat all situations like this on a case by case basis, reach out and find out more. You can also join as a regular member and transition into the raider role in the future within the FC.
​
I want to join and get raider perks, is that possible?
​
Not unless you are part of an internal raid group.
​
I am a crafter / gatherer main and that is what I enjoy from the game, does the FC have a place for me also?
​
Absolutely. Our crafters / gatherers are crucial to our operation and as such come with special perks only to them. If you provide for the FC, the FC will provide for you. This can be in the way of helping you clear endgame content on top of EXCLUSIVE perks not available to any other rank. Please reach out to the GM for more information on this topic and to find out more.
​
I am currently a Raid Lead outside of your FC and I am interested in bringing my team internally, is that possible?
​
Absolutely. We are open to bringing either already established raid teams or those in the process of being formed to assist in their development. We know our exclusive perks are very desirable so we will be selective on who we bring in regardless. Be aware, at least 4/8 members of the raid team including the Raid Lead must be part of the Free Company to receive raider perks.
​
What else should I know about the FC that hasn't already been spelled out?
