Thread: Linkshell Management in 2.0

I'm sure it has been stated that Free Companies would have their own chat channel and all that goodness, however I can't be bothered tracking down a quote. You will be tied to only one Free Company however, while still being able to be a part of any Linkshell community you wish for chatting.

Honestly, I think this will work well - has been a similiar system in a few other games and it helps you to keep up with friends who may not progress at the same speed as you (faster or slower) or just happen to move onto other things (a falling out within a guild, but not with the specific group they are close too within that guild) or just keep your social life and progression life seperate haha

Vanguard had a couple really funky chat channels outside this (that I wouldn't expect in this game haha) but had a certain class that used telepathy, and all of them could talk to each other in that specific channel!

hmmm sound that some here never have seen a guild system before and only base on XI's LS... and only speculating on something that is not by logically will ever happend.

From the words of our fellow Rep, i can only imagine that it will be that of a normal guild for FC. As in having features akin to what a Guild needs, such as Bank, Ranks (which can be adjusted to who can invite/kick, deposit/withdraw, etc.), and many neat features a guild need, like daily message, or log in message, or calender integrated or such.


There fore LinkShell will only be CHAT CHANNELS, wake up that is what they have been saying, take it in your guts and accept it.

If you want a freaking social linkshell with guild features, cast away and use Free Company instead geez. Although i do like the idea of them keeping the LS features like a small version of Free Company... :\ if it's gone, is gone. geez. Talk about ppl barking over other thread like Animation Lock and such thing are gone.

We also have a few more details to share with you.

The dev. team is currently looking into the possibility of allowing players to leave messages in the LS and FC (ex: /lsmes). They are also thinking about implementing a feature for free companies to leave comments for members. On top of member comments, they plan on allowing leaders to customize different ranks and access levels within their free company. Lastly, free companies will have their own chat so there is no need to create a linkshell for your members to communicate with each other.

awesome! all good news. Thanks for posting this.

When you say customize different ranks does that mean we can make up the names for those ranks?
