Mavericks Free Company: Looking for New Members!

Mavericks is Recruiting!

Other Free Companies look to acquire as many members as possible, but Mavericks will always be about building tight-knit communities. While our Free Company may be small, our influence will extend past our guild banner and into the overworld through our actions and our attitudes. By joining a Free Company that focuses on strengthening the entire roster, our group will have more value and become easier to recognize.

Some Background
Mavericks was founded by 5 friends from California. We are all veterans of Final Fantasy XI and World of Warcraft, but have only recently rejoined the MMO scene through FFXIV. We are gamers of all different genres, but we're also big fans of Bushiroad TCGs (Weiss Schwarz and CFV). We're all over 25, but age doesn't really have a meaning for our members.

Maverick Style
Our goal in MMOs has always been the same: Become well known for doing your job right. That notoriety is the greatest satisfaction for us, and it's what keeps us coming back. Any time our group has been too small to tackle content, other guilds have always been happy to reach out to us as alternates (or even start different running teams) because they know we posess the skill to follow through. You will earn elite status not by boasting or acting like an elitist, but by the respect of your server. You may think Duty Finder will make this obsolete, but when end game approaches, you'll be glad you have some strong server friends to rely on!

The Expectations
We can be excellent team mates! We dedicate the time necessary to improve our gameplay, we explore other ideas, and we have fun. If you aren't quite up to end game, we want to take what we know, and share it with you! We want longterm members, and we understand we have to work at making them.

The Criteria
We know there are a lot of dedicated and unquestionably humble players on our server; I have experienced this first hand many times over. As a Free Company leader however, I also want to diversify our roles and create less redundancy. For now, we need to focus on specific job roles, and roles we founders can also benefit from.

1. Priority will go to Tanks, with Healers secondary. This is referring to your MAIN class. Everyone can level whatever they want, but when it comes to end game content, we want to rely on having all the right pieces. If you aren't a Tank or a Healer, you are still welcome to apply. The worst we can do is say no :)
2. Level doesn't matter, but preferably we want someone who has experienced enough of their class to know whether or not they want to stick with it. ~20 is a good start, ~30 is excellent.

FFXIV is limited in it's group sizes. The maximum party seems to be 8 members for now, so we have room for about 3-5 other members. We want to constantly be doing things as a group, and until we have a foundation, two main groups will be about all we can handle for now.

Apply Already!
Let us get to know you a bit, you can get started with the following:

What Class/Job will you Main?
What is your experience with MMOs?
Why are you interested in joining us?
-- How can we help you in the immediate future?
What is your availability like?

Be Honest! ;)

Please help us get our names out there by responding to this thread with your applications :D Messages still welcome though, and thanks for your dedicated responses.

Required play time per week? Or is it realized that people have lives (work, family, etc) outside of the game that may take priority

Required... Playtime? Hardly sounds like playtime if we require it :D

It's best if you are available to play more often than not, but we can handle getting enough players so that we will always be active even if you have downtime. That's part of good management.

EDIT:
Just noticed that you are applying to other Free Companies on Exodus as well, and I definitely don't aim to steal you from them. The ones you have applied to seem like really stand out groups that would love to have you! Just keep us in mind when you're looking for a few more quality players.

Good luck Impendus!

Hey there!

I'd be interested in running some stuff with y'all to see if I might be a good fit for your group. As requested:

What Class/Job will you Main?
White Mage
What is your experience with MMOs?
Maxed level in a few (WoW, Rift, SWTOR) and dabbled in others (FFXI, LOTRO, TSW, GW2), but I've never really gotten too far with endgame or raiding. Looking to change that!
Why are you interested in joining us?
I like what I'm reading here. Humility and respect especially. Plus, cool name! :cool:
-- How can we help you in the immediate future?
On my main, Amdapor runs and then hard mode primals. Also leveling subclasses (THM and ARN), and finding people to use what my Alchemist makes (currently at lvl 20).
What is your availability like?
I'm in graduate school, so it depends on my workload, and that's my priority. So far I've been able to take a day here and there to hit the grind. Central time zone.

Hit me up here or in game! Thanks.

Hey Justice,

I tried to contact you in game last night, but looks like you were doing duties. It's silly how messages won't go through :(

I'm looking forward to meeting you though; it's an honor that you chose to apply!

I've yet to "apply" to anyone. I'm making smarter inquires before I waste my time clicking accept again. No more of these random invites and HOPING to finally meet a good group of people. Now I'm going to know what I'm getting myself into before I join anything because I've already, in such a short period of time, dealt with enough wrath babies, and try hards, and whiners instead of assisters. That's simply what I'm doing on these forums. No application has been filled, no FC has been joined, still a lone wolf, and will remain so till I find mature competent people whom realize life is much more important than end game. I've only shown some interest in one so far but again haven't made contact just yet as I'm playing the books to find the right home.

Hey, thanks for replying!

Ha. Yep, I would have been in Amdapor. I agree it is silly that chat is restricted like that. Hopefully we can connect some time this weekend.

Hello everyone. As we approach the end game, we are still looking for a variety of Tanks and active DPS. Consider applying for a great opportunity to run with us. Thanks :D

Hello, my name is Chris, myself and other good friend have been looking for a good FC for us and after reading your post, it sounds perfect. We are both 30+ yrs old and enjoy being in a guild that is small-medium sized. We both enjoy talking on mumble/vent and have played together for years. I have played wow for years and was raiding 3 nights a week, played Tera for a little over a year, and of course ffxi for almost 4 years. We are both mature players who enjoy learning raids/dungeons with other teammates as we know when end game approaches, the duty finder will not cut it. We are both dps, black mage and bard, but understand mechanics and tells very well. We are both obviously still learning but always strive to excell in everything we do. I am a 48 blm and he is a 35 brd. We both play late in the evenings, usually 10pm est until we fall asleep (2-3am) and I am on earlier on Tues-Wed-Thurs.

My in-game name is Ponzey Madoff and hope to hear from someone soon.

Thank you for your interest Chris. It looks like your hours of play would be a perfect match with us West Coasters, so that's a great start. I'd love to talk more in game; I want to make sure to answer all your questions and give you an honest rundown of our FC environment.

We care more about the people we have join our FC versus the skill they bring. We feel we can help people become better players, but we want to start with better personalities.

Sounds great man. I should be on around 11pm est give or take. I look foward to talking with ya. Do you guys use mumble? If not, just send me a tell :)

I would be interested in joining your family. I have just hit level 30 and completed my Paladin Quest.

Guess I missed you last night. I tried to send a tell today but no luck either. is there anybody else I can contact in game about joining? If not, I'll just wait for a tell. :)

Ponzey, send a friend request -- those are delivered regardless of whether or not I am online. I was instance grinding last night and tells don't work if the player is in a Duty :(

I'll be on late tonight myself (probably 10 or 11 PST) but you can reach any of my guild members. Here's my Lodestone: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...acter/2873208/

Karanu, send me a friend request as well :D I'd love to chat with you too!
