Frankly, many players have no interest in being in a bloated FC.

If it's your thing to be involved in overblown, bloated groups, then more power to you.

But don't expect everyone else to have the same attitude.

Phoenix Rising is intentionally smaller. We have maintained a small member count and are not recruiting until the game matures and until the free month is over. The biggest FC-oriented content in the game requires only 8 players, so you don't need a huge group in order to clear all content.

Furthermore, most of our members are focusing on lateral progress (i.e. crafting, cross-class abilities, etc), so atm we're all enjoying that and not really worried much about eating through content as fast as humanly possible.

Anyone who's interested in an atmosphere where you are a name and not a "400+" number is welcome to contact me in game to find out more. We're allied with another FCs who has a similar approach and expectations for the game, and provided you're not expecting everything "right now" you can reasonably easily and quickly find someone who can help you with your progress in the game.

Edit: Lecomte, I'm not sure why you are defensive: my post was directly in response to the OP. granted, the 400+ may have seemed directly targetted at Gaijin, but that wasn't my direct intention, but rather to respond in rather direct manner to the question posed in the OP, and on a higher level explain to Holy why I never merged with other FCs. If what I said made you feel defensive, that certainly wasn't my intention.

Essentially, most of those who abandoned Phoenix Rising had, as their primary intention, to burn through content faster. Whether or not Gaijin has that as its primary purpose I really have no idea. Again, I was responding to the questions posed by the OP and on a higher level the reasoning behind the split with Holy and crew.
