Walking through Ul'dah i noticed a group of characters huddled together with the same LS icon hanging out doing emotes having fun, this made it seem like it was their corner of the street, i quickly notice that these groups are scattered about usually consisting of 2-5 characters. I love the feel this gives to the city with everyone kind of having their turf.
I don't know how it is on your server, but I have a feeling this exists on many servers not just my own.
Could it be possible to have this area of the game expanded on, maybe having LS compete over each other for various reasons (Turf maybe?) Or opening up LS carts in which players within the LS could sell items?
Or any other ideas you may have...

Lol Hiir. There have already been turf wars on our little corner of Ul'dah on Fabul server. But since there is really no way to do anything we would just /sit on each other. Yeah...it's lame.

Really? You guys have no ideas to expand LS content in game?

yep and people seem to "respect" a LS spot once it has been claimed.. My linkshell has our spot we usually have anywhere from 2-15+ hanging out AFKing there, and you very very rarely see another person from another LS come and AFK in that spot.. Its quite cool I like it :)

all i can think of is maybe what tera is doing, they have politics in the game. basic gist i think is everything in game gives u points towards it from killing mobs to pvp. also votes are held by all, also can get kicked. there was a thread about it somewhere in ffxiv forums though and didn't really sit well ...but this can easily add rewards of positions in city, also can create some fun rivalry. but any who here is a link of everything bout the tera one, but i dont think we will see anything like it. http://www.terafans.com/topic/3924-b...itics-in-tera/
it actually sounds pretty fun but again with this game giving people the choice to bitch i don't think the majority want something that they probably will never see the day of winning. -

Our spot is near Rowena, beside the Bric-a-Brac. Sometimes I see a few random stragglers hanging there crafting or something. I think they just don't realize what's going on though lol they see a group and just go "oh okay *park butt*"

Weird how in 6 years of XI, I don't think I ever saw this with any LS lol. Maybe because there were better things to do then stand in town all day :D

Ls leveling system with perks based on LS level would be cool ( yes like WoW)... I know my OP is mostly about turf but im also looking for a overall LS discussion and ways to get LS more integrated into gameplay, rather than simply being a social network.

09-01-2011, 12:38 AMMindx3I dont think ive ever seen this happen in any mmo, its kinda cool tbh. If only SE gave us a reason to do so or a benefit of doing so lol.Quote:

Well at one point Grand Companies were thought to provide a home for a Linkshell and its members to hang out at, craft, be social, or whatever else they wanted to do.
Since we never got Linkshell Housing, and the Markets are so flooded with retainers, we moved to the streets. We claimed our spot, and haven't really looked back. Most Linkshells really do respect one another when it comes to their "turf." Very rarely do I see multiple shells on top of each other in town. -

Problem on my server is that my LS claimed Ul'dah but ppl keep coming there to camp out.. so annoying heh ><

09-01-2011, 02:25 AMAistarainaI guess you never walked down the hallway outside of the Whitegate mog house, or looked at the large poles in the central section either. I played on a couple different XI servers, and each pole was claimed, and the hallway was jacked by the LS with the highest epeen level.Quote:
