A list of English Free Companies on Ultima.

This is just a list of the English Free Companies on Ultima with member count. If I missed your FC please post and Ill add it to the list.

Gaijin - 432
Ultima - 93
Pandaemonium - 90
Last Resort - 58
Phoenix Rising - 36
Eternal Strife - 24
(AU)Advent Reborn - 21

My point in gathering this list is to not understand why we have broken communities within our server. Gaijin is by far the largest EFC on the server. But having these other smaller ones, its hard to always get a group in a small FC why not look at merging into one larger FC to give our members access to more players.

Not to knock my current FC, but I'll be looking to switch to one of the ones listed here next time I sign in. Definitely not criticizing my current company, mainly because I've never done anything with them. I just sort of accepted the invite when it came in, but hadn't done any research into FCs yet. Now that I know what's out there, it's time to hop over.

I am personally a member of Phoenix Rising but have partied with members of Ultima and Gaijin, both of which were fantastic experiences. Ive spoken with the founder of Last Resort on a couple of occasions but have no experience with Advent or Strife.

Hey Holybelle,
I've always wondered what the English speaking FC member counts were like. Thanks for posting this information. I know some of the FCs advertise a specific timezone or activity. Next time I see a shout I'll post it here so that people can get the best fit for them. I know a couple of people have left Gaijin cause there is a lot of chat and want something quieter. :/

Oh ya, also want to plug our website that we just finished setting up during the last downtime. We are working to be a go-to source for people looking for english speaking people on Ultima and provide links/guides to everyone as a whole. http://gaijinfc.com :)

Thanks Lecompte for putting in :) Ill be checking the site out when I get home from work in about 2 hours or so.

I'm having to work late today :X I won't be home for another couple of hours. My one consolation is that the servers are currently down. For another 15 min anyway.

Based on a forum post here, looks like there is another FC to add to the list. I was looking for their member count on Lodestone but I couldn't find it. Perhaps not updated to Lodestone yet, I notice it is between a day and few hours behind with somethings.

On that note: Gaijin's member count is going up by about 10 per day but we have 20-40 people with 10+ days of inactivity (none more than 15). I'm going to let that run to 20 days and begin making room for more active individuals. I'm hesitant to kick sooner than that because we have a number of deployed soldiers within our ranks that aren't always able to get on for an extended period and expressed that when they joined. I imagine they'll message someone upon return and get reinvited.

EDIT: WOW! I looked up how many FCs there are with between 1 - 10 members on Ultima. 300!!!! T
63 in the 11-30 member range
14 in the 31-50 member range
20 in the 51+ member range

Sup Holy Belle,

Please add Pandaemonium (90) to that list, thanks chief!

Possible to note the region also? I am looking for an oceanic FC to join. Thanks

Thanks for adding Eternal Strife to the list.

I founded it with Charlene another english speaker a few weeks back. We are currently up to 32 and growing everyday.

The goals for our Free Company are a bit different than others. First of all we do not have a set schedule for dungeon/raiding. Our Free Company is made for mostly newer members who are just getting use to the game or those who maybe just want someone to talk to and ask questions while playing. Sometimes we run dungeons as a group but it isn't required. Our goal is to help out with whatever you need whether it be material for crafting or maybe just a quick que for a dungeon since some of us are healers.

We currently have players playing around the clock. We have a few english speakers from Japan, I'm from the Eastern time zone and we have some english from the western time zone. If your interested in joining look for any member of the free company for an invite.
