Suggestions for Free Company

Can we have some suggestions on Free Company content? They are practically useless right now; airships are a huge waste of time/resources, the buffs are barely noticeable, and it's just a glorified linkshell.

• airships used for adventuring, new treasure maps and primal hunts - this could make airships worthwhile in the end.
• a separate guild meeting room inside a house - it could even be instanced to save server space.
• stronger buffs - the current buffs we get are almost nonexistent, excluding one or two of them for raiding. EXP buff feels too weak, teleport cost could be buffed, etc.
• alliance system - alliances could easily create an even better environment for our FC members. would work with GvG if ever put in. Cross server would be cool.
• guild vs guild - it would be nice to get something similar to War of Emperium from Ragnarok Online. Regular GvG may never work, but an objective similar to an Emperium might work.

They probably don't want to make them too powerful otherwise it forces people to have to be in an FC and a lot of people, for whatever reasons, don't want to join FCs.

Not that I disagree with everything you've said, sounds like some cool ideas, although the teleport buff, if you make the grade 3 action, is a whopping 40% reduction cost (which seriously adds up if you're doing a lot of teleporting between ARR/HW areas and SB areas).

Yeah the Grade 3 Buffs basically already handle that particular complaint, they're just annoying to make.

Yeh from memory they're about 90 mouse clicks each which is just crazy :(

I tend to make 20 or 30 at a time and it's such a relief to be done :(

no need for a guild hall... what purpose would it serve? Fc chat works for fc communication and is convenient...
WoE was/is the reason the Official International Ragnarok server has less than a few hundred players... and their alliance system only made things worse... as a former iRO legend I want this game to be as far away from that mess as possible...

You mean something like Diadem 1.0? just with treasure maps and primal hunts?

and airship's arn't useless, for instance right now with a level 50 airship you can get mats with a chance of cloudsbreath seeds. which sell for a nice profit if you don't want the flying chair.
Zu mount as well.
and other things that are airship venture only.

why not make a guild so you can gather like minded players and have fun together?

no need for more bells and whistles.

I would prefer that they add an organisation system to ranks for vertcal and horizontal organisation of ranks.

The problem with Airships is that if they get too useful, fcs are basically required to have a house to get a chance at getting players, and it's already bad as it is.I do however like the meeting room, that could be with the GC your fc is affiliated with (so that makes a difference for once) and the Alliance system, that, if I remember correctly, was supposed to be coming and then just never talked about again.
