It's actually something called "a joke."
Nah I see the PBC tag all the time all over the place, they do have a ton of people online most of the time. That being said it kinda sucks, I've interacted with enough members of PBC that now I just avoid anyone with that tag. I'm sure there are plenty of decent players that are members in PBC but the bad ones I've encountered (and I'm not talking about skill level) were enough that I just decided to avoid them all together.
Oh and to be fair, the post about the waiting list, references and resume was pretty funny.
Well then. Replace my current avatar with:

Apparently my sarcasm radar is way off today. -_-
They are notoriously known for not being the most " mature " or friendliest people in gaming. They however are dedicated gamers and once you get past most of their members " protective shell" we'll call it lol , they are not to bad and are decent people.Coming from a community called Something Awful, you won't expect to run into a bunch of guys picking flowers and holding hands lol.
Once again, this is during Wednesday night peak; I don't understand these claims that we only ever have 20 people on. Please don't make things up.

On weekends and tome reset days it gets closer to 150-200. Especially now the launch rush is calming down, I don't see how 20% of the company being logged in is indicative of ill health. Once again, we regularly remove people who haven't logged in for a week or two. We have a big FC because we like and enjoy it, and like having active players together, and go through extraordinary effort to organize our FC especially in the wake of being divided by an arbitrarily low size limit.
Why does everyone have to like to do things the same way you do? We enjoy being in a large company and work together diligently to make sure everyone enjoys their time. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, people who couldn't roll on Excalibur to be with us are expressing that they are having difficulty progressing because it takes a long time or is impossible to find people to do things with that they know and trust. As such, a big ol' [Citation Needed] on that it's "inevitable" that we "devide"; we have a system in place to advertise raiding and other specific-purpose linkshells to our members to split off for specific activities that work better in smaller, more dedicated groups while still enjoying the benefits of a large group on all levels of progression and experience to socialize and form pick-up groups with.
If you don't want to play the exact same way we do, that's fine, but it's incredibly rude of you to be upset that someone else might enjoy the game a different way than you do.
You folks mentioned you had 100 active members on others servers waiting. There are many players in the same boat waiting to get on Excalibur as well. Why I made the suggestion to take advantage of the free transfers to a lower pop. Legacy server.
I will need a certified letter from the Grand Company and all applicable city-state courts, showing proof you registered it as a trademark besides it being a registered name.
Since this is a global forum, I suggest since it is not a registered trademark you file in all applicable countries and pay the required fees to do so.
