Free Company Capacity - Insufficient Resources to Complete this Action

If you have more than 100 members in your Free Company, you're doing it wrong...

For my needs 512 is fine. What I really need is more LS capacity.

The way we're structured is that our FC is an extension of our LS. Everyone in our FC is in the LS, but not everyone in the LS is in the FC. So the larger group is our LS.

I feel this thread is just filled with all the people in that FC shouting for them to get there way.. NO.. i mean NO reason to need over 500 ppl in a FC.. Its like asking for everyone in shout to be part of this FC.. maybe grow some standards and dont invite everyone under the sun.

The real question is. Why is a combined FC of near 1000 members with 100 active not on the server, on the most populated legacy server?

I feel you should apply your FC name {Please Be Careful} and take advantage of the free server transfer to a lower pop legacy server to accommodate your members.

We don't advertise or recruit, and have laid out how the limit negatively impacts our game experience, I don't understand why you have to be so rude when you don't seem to even know basic facts about our situation that you are so oddly strongly condemning.

That... doesn't actually solve our issue? The problem is not with the server, it's with the FC size. We've not had any issues logging on to Excalibur in weeks ever since they upgraded the servers.

I feel like some people are just skipping over the points other people are trying to be civil about making and then just posting a bunch of snarky stuff in response. What is that supposed to accomplish? :(

Somehow I don't think that moving to a less populated server will help as our issue is FC member limit as opposed to server limits.

I'm the companymaster of Please Be Careful. I'd like to address some concerns.

• PBC does not have many inactive members. Approximately 480 of our 512 members have logged in at least once in the last week. We are regularly removing people who have been inactive for at least 7 days to move people from our overflow company into PBC. We regularly have around 200 members logged on at prime time.
• We do not recruit, and I regularly and consistently turn away potential applicants. PBC is the free company for a well-known, large gaming community, and the amount of interest from that community overwhelmed our initial organization efforts; we expected a couple hundred people at most.
• We are on Excalibur because we have many members who played on Figaro/Aegis in 1.0 and wanted to continue with their original characters. We also have FCs on Midgardsormr and Cactuar for people who didn't want to be on legacy servers, but Excalibur was the most popular option by far.
• We have many "raid linkshells" at various levels of progression which handle their own internal recruitment, scheduling and gear distribution; the FC is for pickup groups, leveling, crafting, asking questions and so forth. I don't demand raid content that can be done by my whole FC; I'd just like more member space because I've got a few hundred people who feel left out right now.

Meh, if you want more room I suppose? But I hope you guys understand, the 99% majority of FC's in the game aren't having a problem with size so I hope you understand if this doesn't pass under the dev's nose of worth their while to work on. If you're able to handle all those people then more power to you. But I'm kind of like the other people in here, that just sounds excessive haha, theres nothing yet in game that would require just an overbearing presence. This isn't EVE or a PvP open world guild in WoW. The largest fight is...8 people at the moment with 24 in the future. My old LS in XI would have 24 people of maybe 40 total on for an event night, so its not like its hard to pull the people you need when things would pop up. But like I said, if its hurting you guys THAT much then I feel for ya and hope you can find at least some kind of temporary solution for yall.

(Please Be Careful) when reading so that you don't make a baseless post that contributes nothing other than some a round-about way to complain that we have far too many people.
