Get a LS would be my inicial idea. There should be several on your server. If that doesnt help then you have the server merge today that might help to better your situation.
I must be nooby then, how to actually join LS in-game? Searching/requesting/friending doesn't seem to be working and the ads I see on here don't happen and suddenly close, removes the fun of it all having to harrass players to get a group together...
The way i got mine is that i signed up on their homepage and they later responded to me ingame. dont know about your server but on mine that worked.
shout in uldah for a ls...
There should be a specific forum for recruiting these!!!
A lot of people start these kind of games with friends, so that may be why it's difficult to find people. (Also, 8 person parties also tend to limit the amount of players linkshells want.) I would think you'd have more luck doing some runs with some people doing endgame content or leveling, then politely ask them if they know any linkshells that are recruiting. Being nice and friendly, and not forceful, will most likely help you with your goal of joining a linkshell. There are often people shouting in Ul'dah for recruitment or looking for members so hit some of them up. It could be that a lot of players are waiting til after the merge to do recruiting as well, so keep that in mind.
Shouts are a bad idea. NO one knows who you are. For them it's like picking up a hitchhiker. You could make a new friend, or you could end up in pieces strewn in strategic locations along the highway....
After server merge, please check out the LS's websites, look at their rules, and their main goals (winning everything, having fun, crafting social experiences... etc) Find one that fits you and sign up.
ffxivpro.com can help you locate Linkshells on your server.
I hope your situation improves when the merger happens. My server always has ppl shouting for LS recruitment and while its not as easy to find PT's outside of an LS as it used to, you can find them. And if you PT with the same ppl for a few hours you can usually have someone at the end thats looking for an LS or asking for you to join theirs.
It is very unfortunate that with a struggling game no one is willing to accept new players and grow the community on your server and I wish you luck in the merger! If that animosity continues afterwards your new server may have a long row to hoe.
Zealotius, I'll seek you out after the merge. I doubt I'll have time to log in tonight as the servers won't be available until late, but I will try to message you asap.
Great info everyone, definitely will wait for the merge n see what happens other than that I'll try different LS sites/forums, some of them seem to have disbanded with tags like "no one could get along" so I guess the game mechanics frustrate people that much it shows in their play style lol
The one enhancement I've always wanted to see out of this unfortunate peer pressuring is a regimen where randoms are put on a waiting list to get into some cavern and it alerts you when an appropriate party is found (based on others' ranks/abilities etc) so it gives people an opportunity to do their quest AND see if playing with those people will lead to their own linkshells...but not going to even bother putting it to SE, they never listen!
Zealotius, our playtimes must be at extreme odds. I haven't been able to find you yet XD
