Hello from Rabanastre

Hi Adventures of Cornelia,
Let me just say, many of us here on Rabanastre are very happy to be joining you all on the new server. :) I thought since maybe you all might not know anything about the linkshells and people we have on our server that I'd start a thread with links to some of the linkshells and folks that are on our server. This is by no means a comprehensive list, nor am I in all of the ls's or know every single member. But I thought if you could maybe see the websites and people in some of the other 'less-vocal' linkshells on our server, you'd understand our server is much more dynamic and inclusive than maybe all voices would lead you to believe. Lastly, feel free to post in some of your ls homepages in this thread. It would be good to get to know some of your and your groups too.

Kinsey Kinz

Fade2Black
http://fade2black.guildwork.com/
large social shell that does events as members need a couple times a week.

Carnival
http://carnival.guildwork.com/
large social shell that is very welcoming...especially to newer players

Rabanastre Elite
http://rabanastreelite.guildwork.com/
a newer, event 'endgame' style linkshell on our server (I don't know much about them personally)

Onion Corps
http://onion-corps.guildwork.com/
a social/event linkshell

Moogle Knights
http://moogleknights.guildwork.com/
a mostly social, once a week (atm) event shell. This is the ls I am in

These are again, just examples of ls's I found that share the same guildhosting site as my shell. There are many many more shells on the server just as warm and friendly.

(Also, this was not intended to advertise the shells on our server for membership, as you all already have your own...rather just a meet and greet :) )

hi kinky~ :D

:c Kinsey you don't like us?

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Linkshell-List

It's updated as of 3 months ago, but I am sure its quite a bit smaller than a compiled Rabanastre EN list since Cornelia is primarily a JP server.

I am sort of interested to see how the markets will merge together, maybe I'll make an alt sometime just to check what going rate for some of the high value items on Rabanastre go for D:

I'm guessing you guys get enough press of your own.

Hullo! I can't wait for the server merge! ^^y

Greetings to you Cornelia. Rabanastre welcomes you, as does my LS - http://bandofthewhitehawk.enjin.com/

We had a ls website page on our World forums too... but it's very out of date atm. (originally, I was just going to suggest you look there). As to prices on our server, we could probably get a list going somehow to compare as checking the wards isn't too tough for people on both servers to do and report back. (That being said, I'm sure after a week, things will average out, and most prices will drop somewhat, since there will be more of us. I am interested to see how the market plays out too once the merges happen. I see it being mostly for the better though. (even if prices go down as I suspect)

KINSEY I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL GOING QQ

Hello Kinsey, hello Rabanastre!
Thank you for this warm welcome, I am looking forward to meet you all!

As for population, Cornelia currently is mainly japanese as Zdenka already stated, but there's still a good amount of US/UK/french players around. I myself come from spain with german roots, and sadly haven't seen many spanish or germans around here. I think I can count germans with one hand only and spanish... none XD

Anyways, the active LSs I see around everyday are:

Knights of the Round - social/event (thats mine hehe, EU based but with a few US)
Kweh - social (our partner LS, EU based too and also with a few US)
Paradox - social/event (US based)
Emerald Dream - endgame (US based)
Luminair - endgame (US based with a few EU)
VALOUR - endgame (US based)
Jenova's Witness - social/event (US based)
The Dark Alliance - social (EU/french based)
Valkyrie Network - social/event (US based)
Heroes of Carpe Diem - social/event (US based)
Zodiark - social/event (US based)

Please forgive me if I stated something wrong, and correct me.

Anyways, I think we will get many new friends with this merge, looking forward to it!

Valour does not exist anymore and also was also not a purely social linkshell. We are now VALOUR and endgame NA.

Ok, so who's hosting the Mixer once the merger happens? BYOB please I can't afford to buy drinks for 1500.

This Merger should rock, looking forward to hanging out with new folks. See you all soon!

Oh and PS:

Zozor's not invited ><

The prices from the smaller server should levitate towards the larger server's prices, unless the S/D ratio is the same on both servers is what I am guessing. I believe Cornelia has the larger population and Rabanastre the smaller so if Rab prices are lower, you'll probably see an increase and we'll see a slight decrease. Other way is true if more expensive, then Rab will see a decrease and we'll see a slight increase.

Prices sorta stagnant right now besides for the items coming up on GC rotation's, most people have their double/triple slotted gear etc waiting for the next patch where prices should drive up again. (as long as JSE doesn't fully replace too many slots).

I'd expect across all servers, most items are probably running about the same price +/- 10%.

I think Zdenka had it right, most likely the biggest effect on the pricing will not come from the merge, but from the update instead. With the re-ordering of stats on Accessories, and new Job armor, people will be buying up a lot of top-end replacement gear.

Wards should be interesting. On Rab the Materia and Upper Tailor wards are always full, and we don't even have that many people. Retainers are going to be ALL over the place! :P

Hello Cornelia! I was thinking about the Grand Companies!

How is it about your GC Linkshells? I am not sure about Twin Adder and Maelstrom.
As far as I know, we have 2 Immortal Flames... one JP and one ordinary, English etc, of which I am the leader. We have 60 people, who are barely active now, that there's nothing big to buy but I think that with new content they will all be back to it lol. Just wanted to slowly plan things on that.

GC Linkshells? luls, do we even have such a thing on Cornelia?

It's actually a great idea.

I don't think we have that in Cornelia, can't say about the japanese, but certainly not english speaking. There was one for Behests long ago, but died soon enough sadly.

GC Linkshells are nice, and it beats waiting for shouts. These will be even more important once people idle inside their rooms and can't see any of the shouts anyways.

Hope people start using "Search" finally!

Awesome info :) Also, just wondering if you all had any ideas how many of your US/EU ls's and players plan on going to Ragnarok and how many plan on merging with Cornelia to Durandal. I mostly wonder since the NA/EU population is smaller on your server, how many are staying as that will give us a rough idea how many new players we'll see during NA and EU prime play times. We have a couple EU folks on our server (more EU it feels like than Japanese actually), but I have yet to hear what many of them plan on doing. (It sounds like most of the shells are staying, but the individual EU players are still deciding to stay or go.)

As of now, Emerald Dream is planning to stay (may change, got a while to officially decide), even with Zozor's and Co. disgruntled attitude. Nothing like turning people off before they've even met lol. I predict a lot of shit talking going on when the merge happens ;\

ehh... most ls's leave other ls's alone on Rabanastre, unless the go out looking for trouble. Esp. since at least as of now, there is very little to do in game that actually forces competition, such as open world NM's. But at any rate, any shell that considers themselves elite, should welcome a merger as it brings more competition and more talent to the server. Meaning you get more people to recruit into your shell AND you have more people to try to out do in order to be the best. So really, I don't see how a merger should ruffle the 'elite shell' feathers...

My little social/event shell is just stoked to have new faces and more people to play with on the server, as are most other shells/shell leaders I've talked to so far. Especially since the smaller shells tend to work together more etc. However, if worried, you could always make a 'mule' character and take a peak on over on Rabanastre and see if the overall vibe is okay during your playtimes etc.

Wandering Odin in the future >.>;;

As for welcoming a merger Cornelia NA is low, so transfer or stay we will play with more NA than currently unless perhaps we went to Ragnarok.

Stay or leave is just if we feel we'd like playing with the people of Rabanastre or take chances elsewhere. Like Keftenk stated Zozor didn't have the nicest of posts but I am sure there's going to be people or LS's like that on all servers.

One of those GC LS would be neat though, it took me like a month to get 4 people to even do the L45 Caravan cuz for some reason nearly every NA player is Adder or Maelstrom it seems on Cornelia xD We did beat it with 2 but was so much headaches.

it's interesting sometimes just need one black sheep to ruin the whole continent.


Rab's Adders are not that many. The fishing and Bot GC supply will be filled in the first 30 mins, but the rest will most likely remain unfilled until the end. Hopes after merge the competition, GC supply, won't change that much ^^:

Welcome!

Nice to meet you all! but if anyone stand in my idle spot im gonna rage!

How many of that ls's are EU?

From Cornelia Knights of the round and Kweh are mainly European

I'm super excited for this merge :] i look forward to playing with all of you :]
sincerely
