That's right ladies, gentlemen, and children of all ages! We at The Vanguard are currently recruiting and WE.WANT.YOU!
Our current website is http://ffxiv-thevanguard.enjin.com/. We use Mumble for our voice-chat service, however we do not require anyone to use it and we don't discriminate against ps3 players either. Here at The Vanguard everyone's welcome! Before anyone starts going bonkers over this, even though we're a relaxed FC we will still do all endgame content, so don't worry your pretty little heads about that, alright?
Now don't delay! Hop on over to our site and join us at early access, launch, or whenever you're all free!
In-game message Nazura Azure, Isra Asandri, Ephemeral Nights [ and a few others who's names I'll eventually add here :rolleyes: ] to receive an invite.
With that being said, hope to see you all in-game :D
The Vanguard [FC] is recruiting!

awesome am looking for a all around group that I can socialise and complete content with as long as it is all about fun and ppl do not start stressing out then I am in...

oh yeah, we're all about taking this game in stride. we'll do all content, but we won't be pushy or stress people out about it
-
08-23-2013, 04:57 AMShindoKokoroThese guys are legit
I joined during beta phase 4. I can certainly add that these guys don't discriminate between Legacy and Non-Legacy. They were very nice, and offered help as soon as I asked for it, whether it was explaining UI/game mechanics or helping to run instanced dungeons. This is a fun, laid-back group who enjoys playing the game the way it was meant to be played.

Would you consider yourselves more of a NA, or EU Free Company, and if NA what time zone do you run end game content on as well as the time when the largest player base is on.
-
08-23-2013, 06:46 AMEphemeralityThe Vanguard is primarily made up of NA members at this time, though I'm sure we still have a handful of EU players, too. So we're definitely open to players from any and all regions! (:Quote:

Start times were usually between 6-8PM EST / 5-7PM CST / 3-5PM PST, and we typically just kept going and replacing people that had to go / rotating in people that log in after start times as we go, and stop only once we lose too many people and can't find reps.
Hope that answers your questions! (: -

Sounds wonderful, I registered to your FC and hope to hear from you all soon.
-
08-23-2013, 06:57 AMEphemeralityAwesome! Just saw your application. In regards to your question there, though, I'm pretty sure that's fine, haha. I'm just sending a text to the boss man to confirm first! Thanks for applying. c:Quote:

Question about your FC. How many members do you plan on your FC to have?
-
08-23-2013, 12:11 PMShindoKokoroKeep in mind I'm brand new, but during Beta Phase 4 I saw we had around 12 or so on during peak hours. I think our max at the time was 20, but I think it'll be more than that. Like I said, I'm new though, so don't take that in stone. I'll direct one of the officers back in to give you a more accurate answer.Quote:

08-23-2013, 03:25 PMAzure1354While we are currently trying to recruit a decent number of players for the release of the game, we do not plan to be a massive FC, unless it just happens. The Vanguard has always placed an emphasis on the quality of our members over the quantity. We feel that it is more important to have a comfortable sized, closely connected community as opposed to a huge loosely connected one.Quote:

I hope that answers your question. If there is anything else you are curious about feel free to ask. -

I completely agree with you on quality over quantity. I have another question. One of your rules against "exploits" was power leveling. What exactly do you mean? Ex. me helping a lwr lvl friend lvl faster but killing the mobs for him. Please explain.
Thanks! -

this is a very good and understanding linkshell, they help a lot with things and don't ask for compensation and such, i mean they have a mentally special person named isra in it and shes cool =p
-
08-24-2013, 07:08 AMShindoKokoroI think it just applies to talking about powerleveling in /fc, there's no actual rule against doing it, just that some people can be vocally opposed to it, so best not to talk about it. Helps keep the FC free from drama.Quote:

Planning to main WHTMG heal and dragoon for DD if needed. I'll take an invite! :-)
-
08-24-2013, 09:50 AMShindoKokoroAwesome. You can sign up here for right now. Once early access begins tomorrow, you can look for one of our members to send you a formal invite. Good people to look for are Nazura Azure, Ephemeral Nights, or Isra AsandriQuote:

The main purpose of the rule is that it should not be discussed or solicited in free company chat as a large portion of the FFXIV community has strong opinions on this topic.
However, with the changes in 2.0 most leveling is done through quests and dungeons so I feel that power leveling may no longer be a point of contention for the community. -
08-24-2013, 05:53 PMEphemeralityWell at least you qualified that with "and she's cool." LOL.Quote:

Just throwing this out there because I noticed it. The fact that Ephemerality is Isra Asandri and not Ephemeral Nights had me very confused.

I am interested, will send a tell if I get into the game.
