When it comes to Linkshells

I tried searching for this thread, but didn't come across it. Have they mentioned anything about making linkshells larger after 2.0? I apologize if this has been brought up already.

I ask because our linkshell currently has almost 300 members divided between 3 shells and it's a little frustrating. (Though mostly just 2 since we moved the active members from the 1st shell to the second one)

It causes quite a bit of disorganization.

Also, I'd like to know if nothing else, if we'll be able to kick inactive members out. It might help with the linkshell size.

We've been asking for a fix to this since October '10. I've accepted that they just don't want to admit that that they're literally impotent to do it until 2.0. For some reason, it's not possible - at all.

It's been the single most frustrating thing in this game since launch, and it's still a problem. Drives me nuts.

The ability to exile inactives alone would solve so much of this.

SE, change this:
char linkshellMemberCount;

to this:
unsigned char linkshellMemberCount;

You're welcome ;)

You're assuming it work like a proper database. If they could't do it until now
1) database is spaghetti coded
2)game engine is crap (old news)

I'm not assuming anything. I'm just being cheeky :)

Wasnt there something written in a recent post on how they are still working on getting it implemented with 2.0?

Thats what I was hoping you guys might help me with. I have a hard time with all of the new info they have. But I have yet to come across anything concerning linkshell size yet and member kicking.

This is what I'm interested in.

Last part of the first post

In your situation, OP, you'll probably want to form a Free Company come 2.0 and have all of your linkshell members join that. They haven't released any details on how big they'll be, but since they act more like guilds from other games (as opposed to linkshells, which are just glorified chat rooms), I'd imagine there will be more than 128 spaces in them.

Would love a dev response on when we will be getting tools to exile offline players. My LS is currently trying to decide whether a reroll is necessary or if we'll be getting this feature soon. Our members are currently spread between a full LS and a half-full LS. @_@

Please just give us a time frame. Will it be in 2.0? Upon release of 2.0?

Oh I do believe we'll be forming a Free company...our 3rd ls just filled up. We need to make another shell. XD

(Our ls is the #1 fastest growing ls on enjin)

Guildwork or gtfo.
