Casual and relaxed FC "Vagabond Knights" [VK] looking for mature and nice players

Hi, to all I have being reading up on this thread, and You all sound like the FC I have being looking for. I am a US player and if you have me I would like to give you guys a try, that is if you will have me. I am a level 50 monk, and a 41 year old player with a young spirit. The FC I'm in right now is not good for me, when I have asked for help no one does, I usually get ignored. Even when I send a tell. I like to take my time, and always try to help if asked. I like this game, (being my first MMO), but I don't like going in the DF to guessing what kind of people I am going to find (all ready had two bad experience), but for the most part every one has being nice. In my FC no one talks to each other, there is no help, no lynkshell or any thing of that sort. I fill like I am at this alone just like when I started. I am a quite person, mostly a listener, but if I am engaged I am there for anyone to help. Hopefully you will consider me.

If the timezone difference doesn't bother you, we'll be happy to have you Dorwar.

I know what you mean about being in a FC that makes you feel as if you were playing on your own. I personally think not replying to someone asking for help is rather low and childish. I don't always have time for help as I often have to do things for the FC (e.g. talking to an applicant) while someone is asking for help with a dungeon. I just think it's a matter of decency to just give a quick reply anyway.

Of course sometimes chat just goes wild or you're too busy with crafting or fates or a dungeon to read everything and you sometimes don't notice someone asking for help, but that should not be the norm.

Our little FC may have it's flaws and our endgame "progression" is probably laughable compared to what most FC here do, but we're all very social and I never saw someone asking for help and no one answered. We are at a stage now that we have more members in the higher level range than in the lower levels, and still the lowlevel dungeon groups never fail to fill up because our lvl 50's still enjoy helping out.

I will try tracking you down ingame, but with the timezone difference I'm not sure I'll be successful :)

Would you mind keeping an eye out for our officers (Kimiko especially) to help us get in touch with you? Thanks :)

Those of you in the US, as Darius mentioned I'm the only officer in the US. I am usually on in the evenings US time though not on Tuesdays or Thursdays, if you'd like to talk to me sometime. Also as Darius has mentioned and not to discourage you from joining, there is not many people online in the US prime time hours since most of EU is sleeping at that time, if that doesn't bother you great :D

I will try and keep an eye out for you guys and feel free to look for me as well :)

Wow, impressed by the fast response, I will be looking for you guys. I usually don't get in game until nine at night, my time. But for sure on Sunday. Even if most of you are in a different time zone, at least the weekends should be fun. :D

I will try and remember to log on when I get home tonight around 11:00pm or so CDT to see if you're on then. If not I'll keep an eye out for you other nights :)

Thank you for the opportunity, and I will see you in game. :)

Hi PrHasenfuss,

I've read through your post and think I would be a nice fit in your FC!

Would you accept a few people from the same old FC?
Our leader left the FC after the free sub time, so we disbanded and recreated a small FC with the intention of recruiting fellow casual, likable players.
But have found it very hard to garner any attention.

I would like to join your FC, but would feel a lot better about it, if my friends could move over too (if they so wish).
Our small FC is called Shoopuf Express.

A bit about myself:
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I used to raid for crazy hours back in Vanilla Wow, but have since settled down and have limited time to play (due to long work hours and kids). But I still manage an hour or two most nights.
I'm looking for a nice relaxing FC, but who have the intention of grouping and possibly raiding if members and time allowances allow.

Cheers!

Hello merellie!

In theory it is not a problem for you and your friends to join. We are having a fair amount of members but there's still room for more, especially now that FF XIV has settled down and some of the initial players loose their steam and play less.

There is one thing I have to ask of you though... I'd appreciate if your friends apply individually (either on the forums or by contacting me or an officer ingame).

As much as they are all welcome, I'd feel uncomfortable inviting a group of people that no one (in our FC) has ever talked to or knows anything about. Any nice and relaxed player who is looking for a nice and relaxed FC is welcome to join, we'd just prefer to get a feel if that's the case before we invite someone :)

I'll see if I can find you ingame so we can talk a bit more. My own play schedule is rather chaotic though until Friday, so don't worry if you don't see me online that much in the next two days.

Thats not a problem, and would have expected it anyway.
I'm unsure if they will all want to join as it stands, I'm just starting to feel lonely in the FC as there are only 3-4 really active members on.

Catch you in game some time this week, hopefully!

Question: If I join do I need to do certain things?
