Do you remember the excitement of your first Valkurm Dunes party? The heart-pumping exhiliration you felt when fighting Nidhogg? What about the epic feeling of the Divine Might battle? How about the thrill every time you took on Tiamat?

From the Ridill drops, to the Vrtra vanquishing, to the Absolute Virtue wipes—These are the moments we recall best and are the very same emotions that brought us to FFXIV. Our journey to recapture those feelings is why we are all here!

About Us

Neutral Impact is a group of friends with a passion for gaming. Our core group consists of players who have fought alongside each other in the past in various online games. We are now in a different stage of our lives, but we do not let that change our desire to win. In fact, we use that to our advantage. By emphasizing good communication and excellent teamwork, we meet our in-game goals without the sacrifice of a healthy personal life.

Our sensible raid schedule does not limit our ability to reach the top. Playing hard is important, but we also believe playing smart is greater. Many of our members are working professionals, full-time students, or new parents. We often bring our real life skills into the game to give us an extra edge. Be it expertise in math, economics, or artistic vision, we apply our out-of-game talents to every challenge. We prefer to work efficiently, taking full advantage of our Linkshell forums and Teamspeak to stay well-informed and coordinated.

We enjoy sharing good laughs on Teamspeak and goofing off in-game. But when raid time rolls around, we put on our game face, ready to kick ass. Events are strategized in advance, recorded on video, and parsed to review our own performance, always looking for room to improve. We encourage skillful play, quick thinking, and adaptability. Our players play to be the best as we accept nothing less.

The Linkshell has been pursuing end-game content since beta, adapting to the changes of the game as it has evolved. Our members have built a long-term friendship that extends beyond FFXIV. We are always looking for like-minded people with positive and colorful personalities to play with and join our small family.


Ideal Teammates

Our ideal teammates come from all walks of life, but each and everyone one of them has the following qualities:

Active – You enjoy the game every day!
Someone who enjoys exploring all the game's content, be it leveling, crafting, gathering, questing, or anything else in between. Sometimes it’s about the journey, not the destination. Active players are invested in the game and the guild.

Mature – You can take a joke and dish ‘em out!
Applicants are not limited by age, but they must be intelligent, considerate, and enjoy friendly competition. A sense of humor is totally a must! We do not like drama; we’re all here to have a good time together.

Reliable – You’re responsible and can be counted on!
Our players are able to follow a schedule. They check the forums frequently, and communicate with members and leaders. We consider communication one of the most important aspects to a successful linkshell. If you signed up for a raid and can’t make it, please let your teammates know!

Skillful – You desire to play at the maximum potential.
You can do this using your past knowledge and experience of game mechanics, or by investing time to research, test new things, or practice playing your role until you can execute it with precision. You must be the kind of person who pushes the envelope in the gaming world, evolving and adapting to an ever-changing gaming environment.

Motivated – You want to get things done to better yourself and the group!
To get something, you must want it first. Players here possess a passion for success and are driven to discover possibilities. If you pour your heart into the job you play and lead by example, this Linkshell is for you!

Hello everyone on Gungnir, it's nice to meet you! My name is Shiu, I used to be a FFXI player on Midgarsormr before it became Quetzalcoatl. I am in charge of recruitment here at NI.

Our linkshell is set to transfer to Gungnir in this world merge, and I'm very excited to meet new people there. During this world transfer period, we are welcoming exceptional applications from any servers to join us in our new home. If NI sounds like a linkshell you would like to be a part of, please send us an application from our website: http://www.impact-gaming.us/neutral-impact/apply. Or if there's anything you would like to know before applying, you can always email me at ffxivrecruiter@impact-gaming.us. Thank you for taking your time to read about our linkshell!

Good luck on recruiting =)

Man, does every linkshell have a website? I feel...inadequate.

Thank you for the well wishes! I find it really useful to have a linkshell website, it's easy to keep people updated on events and for members to keep in touch. There are some sites out there that hosts really nice guild websites with all the tools you need.

Shiu/Grey, nice to meet you, welcome to Gungnir.! Good luck to your shell, I have not seen too many end-game shells stand the test of time (at least on Mysidia). You guys seem to have a good attitude though, which will go a long way.

Oster, many Linkshells do run a site. It really helps for some advanced group organization / discussion. It also provides an environment to new members who have less game experience, or veteran members wanting information to maximize their potential.

Thank Holy. We've been around since Beta and have only gotten better with age. Well met, and see you on Gungnir!

@Shui @Holy

Really? Is there a fee involved or is it free? Oh man, I'm getting another bad idea again. Someone stop me!

Thank you for the warm welcome Holy, I'm looking forward to joining you guys on Gungnir.

To Oster: They are usually free with ads, or paid without ads and more features. A few I can think of are: guildwork.com, enjin.com, and guildportal.com. I've only used the enjin one though, but they seem to have a lot of useful tools for running a guild website.

Always nice to see a fellow Beta linkshell =)

This is a recruitment thread so let's find some more recruits! We've already received 8 applications since posting this up and space is dwindling. Prior end game experience and accomplishments are important to us!

Thanks. The less attention we give trolls the better :)

And just to clarify: NI will not contact anyone in-game prior to merging servers. All our contact will happen from myself or Shiu via PMs and emails.

We've received over a dozen applications from across many worlds! Recruitment is coming to a close soon but applications from exceptional players are never denied. Check us out if you're looking for a linkshell that gets things done.

First of all you insulted Dart Taru- That is not mature...
2nd of all, you don't insult back even if you are insult as a mature person as you say you should be-
Reli can't take a joke as he told me and proved me in tell that there is a fake trolling grey- although I do not even know who that is---- as much as he said he doesn't know who the fake Dart Taru was.
as I do not speak english i'am sorry if you do not understand.

Active – You enjoy the game every day!
Someone who enjoys exploring all the game's content, be it leveling, crafting, gathering, questing, or anything else in between. Sometimes it’s about the journey, not the destination. Active players are invested in the game and the guild.

Your linkshell is fairly active except the one who are botter that I gather around and i see gather in the same spot for nights and days when I wake up during through the night in the same spot- This i'am referring to only one of your member- and a botter who craft who I myself Personally Repaired the gear too constantly... that person was obviously afk botting---- who would craft none stop for 1 hour and not notice they are losing GIL PLUS Dark mater that costed 1k gil in ward or 3k from npc---
So for sure I'am 100% sure he was botting-
Other then that I have nothing else to say- If you will please change your ideal team- I will stop following you.
Other then that I have nothing against you.
Hopefully you understand this and I appreciate real and honest people only.
Thank you!

Don't feed the trolls guys!

Talk about lie? I'am the greatest troll I agree!!!! Me lie about boters? me lie about your maturity?? look up lodestone?? talk back in Darth Taru's blog does not make you Mature. I'am just copying you and you Insulted me as an immature person... Doesn't that make you immature? Rude?? you came in my friend's blog and posted threats to him- You call me rude??? doesn't that make YOU RUDE????

Talk about life--- Do you have a life playing MMO-
If you do then how do you play mmo and be active that is impposible if you have a life and you are active!!

Learn to type Guks, jesus

Lol c.c... Rex change that Logo you ain't from figaro anymore O.o...

AEGIS FTW!!!

Your friends blog was a personal attack on my linkshell. Guks, you really are not too bright.

I don't go around mucking up your threads on websites. However, you and your friend apparently do. I'm sorry you got rejected from the LS and your pal blew a gasket. It hasn't been my problem for over a year but you guys seem to really want it to be. Please, I am asking you quite nicely to get out of my thread and find a new hobby. I don't think I should have to ask twice, nevermind more than twice.

Personally attacking what link shell?? Neutral Gimpact?
So is that what you call your own link shell now?? I though your link shell was called Neutral Impact?
Your blog says you don't like Drama? yet you follow up on the drama I just gave you.
You came to he's blog and talk lot's of things about him!!!
I don't care if you like to be childish- i don't care if you like to have no life- I don't care if you love game!!
But I care when someone lies about them self being nice? Mature? playful? friendly? This is MY POINT
I care if someone lies!!! this is the most painful thing a human can feel.
A lie hurts many friendship and love.

the real meaning of being nice again is-
positiveness not calling someone not so bright (that is negative)

the way to say it is-
Gukswar, your friends blog was a personal attack on my linkshell, I'am sorry you do not understand.
NOT!!
Your friends blog was a personal attack on my linkshell. Guks, you really are not too bright.

You think that what was posted on Lodestone wasn't a personal attack. You also think that bringing drama here means I like drama. You also think that we are friends or something. I think you're mentally unstable, dishonest, rude, a crybaby, and someone who believes that even when pushing someone around they are going to keep being "nice" to you. Anyone with a brain can see how crazy all that is. Get out of this thread and leave my linkshell alone.

hey, we talked before. Im pretty sure that is the guy who was shouting about your LS in Mysidia.

I'am not attacking your link shell- I'm attacking your lies about you and yourself- You call people childish yet you do the same thing we all do!!!! I careless about a linkshell !!

Then you could have sent me a PM or email instead of posting in my recruitment thread. Quit the BS, kthx!

Guks:

As the recruitment person of the Linkshell, I wrote the recruitment post. It was based on a year of observation and personal experience of what I felt was true to the linkshell as a whole. If writing something that you and your friends don't agree with makes me a liar, then I'm not sure what to do. All I can say is that I'm sorry your application to the Linkshell was rejected in the past before my time and we never really got to play together. It was not my intention to hurt many friendship and love.

This thread is meant for recruitment, can you please take your issues with Grey elsewhere? You can email him at igccm@impact-gaming.us, or you can email me at ffxivrecruiter@impact-gaming.us if you have further issues with what I've written.

Goodluck to you guys on Gungnir! I didn't get to say goodbye to you Shiu... think I caught you on your afk times again :( Hope you have fun and enjoy your new adventures! ^^ Feel free to say hi on our website :)

Edit: Sorry I'm posting this on your recruitment thread :P Didn't see your email til after XD

Thank you Thainna!

We're looking for about 2-3 more solid end gamers! See our site for job needs.

Quickly reaching our member quota but we're still accepting applications from exceptional players. Those with several/all 50 DoW/DoM, end game experience, and looking for a skilled group to raid with should consider applying. Check out our website for accomplishments!

The roster is pretty well fleshed out right now and we're running two raids parties consistently 5-6 nights a week now (mainly speed runs). Looking only for exceptional applicants with several 50s, many of which can be played effectively in raiding parties. Detailed applications are a requirement. Check OP for full details if interested.

excuse me, is vent or teamspeak a must? i am not so comfortable letting others hear my voice...

Though I'm not a part of this LS I have yet to meet any Linkshell that requires one to speak on the VOIP most just want you to be able to listen for easier instructions/coordination, I assume NI is the same.

You must be able to listen in. Don't need to talk with us.

Krausus is correct, voice chat is required only to listen during events, you don't have to speak. We actually have one guy in the Linkshell Grey calls the "Charlie Chaplin of FFXIV" and he is awesome. If you can still communicate and play well without speaking then that is totally cool.

Thank you! I really like the people on this server so far, they're great.

Hello again Gungnir! We are now looking for 3-4 end-gamers to join our raid nights. The Linkshell is looking for well-rounded players with Bard or Black Mage or DD Warrior as their main, but also able to play another class/job when needed to get the win. We are currently preparing ourselves for 2.0 while creating some great memories together! Please read the OP for details if you are interested.

Still seeking the above jobs.

Recruitment has been closed for just over a month now but we are still accepting applications. We are not processing any of these applications until the launch of 2.0, and only in very limited quantities. Those we are considering are those players who are needed to fill roles within the linkshell.

However, and to deflect many of the questions that have come my way in recent weeks, Neutral Impact will be sponsoring a way for those members who feel they have the skills to join our end game group. I cannot give full details on that yet as they are not entirely hammered out yet, so I will say no more. As always, you can PM me inquiries on my website at www.impact-gaming.us or email me recruitment question at ffxivrecruiter@impact-gaming.us.

Thanks to all those who have been interested! I'm sorry we've had to turn you away at this time. Hopefully we can start relationships when the game relaunches!
