Nights Bane Recruiting!
FFXIV:ARR release is finally here, as we all know, and one of the great things is the Free Company perks and rewards. Finding the right company will make a difference in the company housing, achievements, and whatever else Yoshi-P has in store. I'm excited about these, and I hope you are, too.
The problem is, it's hard to start and maintain a company, especially if it plans on doing end-game progression, pvp ladders, and push to get those FC perks.
It's even harder finding a stable company with a decent family. Some groups have a good core, but just can't find enough to fill the spots, or get enough to keep going if/when some players' interest starts to wain.
Night's Bane is pushing to be that stable company.
By pushing open recruitment and having a unique leadership approach, we will boost our community to get the resources for larger rewards, have not one but several end-game groups, and be able to meet the needs of both hardcore and social gamers.
-
Who we're looking for:
Most likely you
- We are looking for skilled players to push progression.
- We are looking for fun people to help with guild-wide silly events.
- We are looking for crafters and gatherers to help support our players and help each other push for higher profits.
- We are looking for pvp players who aren't just good, but fight together with some coordination.
- Most importantly, we're looking for team players. MMOs are intensely boring when played solo, so we're looking for people who will level, quest, chat, and play together. Of course individuals are accepted, but we want to be the company where you can bring your friends and family.
-
What we expect from you:
We have a reasonable expectation of civility. The company leader and officers will be there to act as mediators if anything happens, and while it would take an extreme situation to be removed, it may be necessary in the end.
We expect you to match your commitments. If you push to be a gatherer and can't get materials for the crafter, the crafter is at a loss. If you push to be progression and skip game nights, the whole team is at a loss. While we don't require much to be a part of the company, the smaller focus groups may have more stringent requirements, and we hope that you will honor them if you choose to take part.
What you get:
A strong community. With a larger company, it will be easier to find people that match your interests and schedule. Benefits reaped by one group can be shared to the others.
A fun community. Smaller groups can start to isolate themselves, so I'll be pushing for guild wide activities to include all members. These will be on the sillier side of things, but hopefully a bribe of prizes and fun will pull in more people.
A responsible community. I will not be leading the focus groups. These will be autonomous, which means if you want to lead, there will be ample opportunity. If you are trying to start a company with just a handful of people, start a focus group here instead. This will give you the ability and resources of a large company, and still let you create the policies for your focus group. You create schedules, loot rules, maintain your section in the forums, get a vent channel, and push for your goals. The company leader and officers will be responsible to act as mediators and for any help needed. The squad leaders will be responsible for those who choose to be under them.
Advantages:
The advantages to working like this are huge. Normally, if your company falls apart, it loses the rep, rewards, and members break up to go to different companies. If something happens in this company, you have a large recruiting pool and if your squad does break up, you don't lose the rewards you worked hard to get. You can join another squad within the company.

Bumping! We are now Rank 5 and have 42+ members and still growing!
-
What Delta fails to tell you all is we also have an Orbital Penguin Cannon aimed over your house ready to nuke everything you love.
This is not a threat to get you to join, this is just simply informing you of dangers that could be avoided by joining us.
Nights Bane!
Subligar wearing
Unicorn approved
Seriously though, just bumping to the top of the page because hey why not.
-
Question: Is the cannon some sort of mechanic penguin floating in space, shooting down lasers? Because if so, YES.
And B.) Does the Orbital cannon instead fire penguins of some sort? Because also, YES.
Thanks!
-
The cannon consists of a large penguin shaped ship with 6 penguin shaped rockets to move it. It shoots highly volatile penguin-projectiles to rain doom and destruction down upon all things.
Its kind of like if you took the penguins from that one really old and terrible batman movie (the ones where penguins run around with rockets strapped to them) and turned that into a giant space ship.

Hey all, a friend and I are interested in learning more about Night's Bane, mostly meeting members from it, getting to talk personally with you all, etc...
We've already taken our time to read your website (we love the way you guys have your organization and structure setup. Makes us think of strike teams, so that fits our fancy), but would love to know if there's any Linkshells for potential recruits, etc...
Some info about us, we're interested in Progression Raiding, but we have some wonky schedules due to being in Grad School (and being in our final semester).
Also, my buddy is a lvl 50 Bard, and I'm a lvl 50 Paladin as our current mains.
Anyway, find me on Sylen Azeur, or my friend on Sixty Four, we'd love to chat with a recruiter / officer.
And if we keep missing each other (cause of duty finder), I would love to be able to setup a meeting time so that we can actually be available at the same time!
Thanks, and I look forward to hearing back!
/cheers

Im glad to have met both of you and even more so to have you apart of the guild now. Welcome!
-
Bumping so that we look active.
Nights Bane is still welcoming all players to join us for random shenanigans!
-
Hi Nights Bane,
This looks like a good home for me to settle down, I'm certainly interested in joining your FC. I've checked out your website and really like the way this FC will work.
If you're in need of healers my main is a 39 WHM currently and I'll be healing at endgame. Should be 50 in 1-2 weeks tops. I'm mainly interested in progression raiding and PvP eventually.
Please send me a message in game to talk more or toss me an invite.
Looking forward to it!
-
I'll be sure to shoot you a tell when I see you on next!
-
Sorry I missed you in game, I was afk for a few min. I'll be on for a few more hours, send me a tell when you're back online.
-
Bumping thread! Come on over to Nightsbane.com! We are still recruiting and going strong!
-
Oh noes, we're several threads down the page!
Well this should fix that!
Nights Bane still recruiting, now with more cats! Beware the nightsbane.com there are several swimsuit pictures. And a fairy!
Bump.

I'm interesting in possibly joining. Right now I'm in the process of filling out the little app on the website. I'll probably be on for the next few hours...and my main name is Fedorx Lightwolf.
-
Good to have you with us, we're still welcoming any who want to join!
-
Daily bump. We've welcomed many new people to the Free Company, and we're always welcoming more people that have a desire to run things with others in the FC.

I'm a 50 BLM trying to gear up, but do not have a regular group to play with. Do you have an active group that can use a BLM immediately? Also, normally I play during the daytime, sometimes in the evening. Is that a right fit?
Right now I have an Ifrit weapon, haven't gotten started on Darklight because I don't have a steady group.
-
We would love to have you, and we can always use more people. As things stand right now: We're voting/deciding on the best raid times for our "group1" to officially start end game. So far every night we've done AK, Cast, Prat, Ifrit, and Hydra/Chim depending on peoples needs, and we're going to be downing Garuda this weekend.
I can't promise people spots in any specific raid group, but I can guarantee you will find people interested in doing all level 50 content, anything from Castrum to current max content. (To any low level recruits: you will also find people willing to help with anything you need)
To answer your question about times, we are a decent sized Free Company so there will always be people on, but "official" times and our leaders/officers (other than me) normally play on the usual 9-5 work schedule, and are primarily on during the evenings. If you're looking for a pure day time Free Company, I might suggest looking around some more.
We are of course happy to invite you if you want to give us a try and see if we work, and I encourage you to give us a shot, we're an awesome group of people. :)
Any other questions feel free to ask, I check these forums fairly often.

WOW ESRA :(
You beat me to it.
Esra pretty much covered everything, if you have any question please visit our website. ^.^

Muahahahah... I just happen to be checking this during a commercial <.< Watching X-men first class :P

Sup have a bump
http://www.godlikeproductions.com/sm...0654f80783.gif
Still recruiting the awesome people we know are out there!
-
Are you recruiting all classes? What is your planned raiding schedule?
-
We're welcoming anyone who wishes to join and to my knowledge we are not "locked" on any classes yet. We have a poll on our website which we are using to finalize our official raiding schedule that people commit to. The official schedule aside, we unofficially do things almost every night, ranging from Castrum, AK, Chim, Ifrit, Garuda, pretty much what ever people need.
Official = People have committed to the time and say they will be on
Unofficial = We just do what people need, with who we have on at the time
We're a decently sized FC, with more 50's by the day, so there will likely always be people on to run things.
Throwing in an edit for raid times: Days of the week are being hammered out but people can expect 3 days a week, 7pm to 10pm Central on weekdays, and 9pm to 12am Central on weekends.
-
Thanks for the info Esra. I was looking for a ballpark time that most things are happening. I live on the east coast of Canada and if everyone else is west coast then the time difference will make it difficult.
-
A lot of our members are in Central, so it isn't too big of a time difference but I guess it comes down to when you have to wake up in the morning =P
<Insert FMA Central joke here> -_-

Bumping to the top!
I had an awesome thing that I was going to post in this bump, but I forgot what it was. So maybe next time.
Our unofficial Free Company house at the Inn in Northern Thanalan. Any new recruits can talk to our FC representative Pushup Man (behind all the naked folk).

I filled out an application to join you guys.. Seem to have your stuff together which is a GREAT thing.. I'm a 50 BLM and 50 BRD.. working on my BLM relic.. been stuck on chimera for a week.. but thats because I took a break to level up my Bard... Like most have said not having a steady group to do things with sucks, but hey thats what making friends is all about!
-
That is indeed what making friend is about =P
Send a tell to Esrahadon Waurd in game if you still need an invite, if I don't find you first anyway.
We have a few people that still need Chim I think, so that shouldn't be an issue.
-
cool ty ill look for ya in game!
-
Hey guys, I'd like to give you guys a shot. 50 Pld / 34 WHM (Crossed Stoneskin for PLD). I'm looking for a FC just to have people to play with at the very least, and slay internet pixels for internet shiny pixels!
