Free Company Capacity - Insufficient Resources to Complete this Action

[Azzizi]

I would like to know how you manage that size of a community
...curious about what a community like that offers to its members.

It really isn't that hard-- We're actually much like a microcosm of our parent community. Just as members of the larger community come together in smaller groups to form guilds for individual games and flow freely among them as interests shift, so too does PBC consolidate into multiple smaller interest groups that members shift to and fro through, using the FC as a means to coordinate.

As for what we offer-- lots of activity with largely helpful, likeminded players. When you have this large a population of actives-- many of whom have been playing since 1.0 launched-- there are a lot of resources at your disposal. There's always someone to talk to, always a group to do things with, always an answer for your question.

Also: bikini beach parties. You haven't lived til you've had 300 guildmates on the beach in Costa.

512 is more than any other MMO I know. "You give them a foot, they want a mile" saying comes into play here. There has to be a limit to things... and 512 is an extremely gracious limit.

If you want to all talk to each other, use a Linkshell.

I see no legitimate reason for this, and tbh you gave none. Denied.

something tells me you have 1 to many noobs and inactives in your lil guild.. time to kick a few.

[Azzizi]

There are some members who participate more actively than others, and are remembered by most members. Others less so, but everyone gets along with very few exceptions.

Quoted for truth. We have some people that only really speak up when they need help, and that's totally fine. I like to think people remember me because I like to run my mouth and jump to help people constantly. There are a couple of people that rub me the wrong way and I probably tick a couple people off, but it's no big-- We're adults, yanno?

Our FC has also hit capacity. An expansion would be welcome.

...

They can play this however they want..lets be real..it is completely unmanageable in the sense that it would be impossible to really get to know your entire FC. I don't care what size community they come from..your not out their questing with all 1000 of those people on a regular basis..your adding people to simply be able to say hey look at how big our FC has become.

So what happens next? They up the limit to 1024..and then you post back on here a month from now when you max that out again and you say hey this isn't fair we need 2048 spots for our FC...oh and we need you to reopen the server transfers cause we have been advertising on other servers too and we have another 400 people from random servers that need to join our FC cause were the roXXors!

[Linnie]

Because we enjoy having a large and fun free company? Do we need an excuse? I don't understand what you're asking, or why.

I really like the OPs attitude, but yours is pretty nasty...you got defensive when the one you quoted clearly was asking out of curiosity. Your response would of been appropriate had they said "WTF do you have that many members for!? How about you leave some for the other FCs".

You said that you don't understand why they asked the question therefore you are not qualified to answer it, feeble minds should stick to simple questions.

>< Now look what I did, I made a post attacking you. I'm sorry (sincerely), I just didn't get my nap.

For sure, we have plenty of new players in the free company and showing them the ropes is part of the fun! We also check for inactive players regularly, but it seems almost everyone is still enjoying the game! We could really do with an expanded FC limit.

So what happens next...

Uh... no? We do not advertise or take new members as such. We simply had a large amount of interest from within our pre-existing community and haven't the room for our current game membership. We have tried to make this work and it isn't panning out, so we are making our case where the developers can see it, as they should have a vested interest in making large communities welcome in their game. Doubling the limit was not chosen at random-- it fits our situation.

And with all due respect, unless you're in PBC, you really don't have the knowledge to comment on what the FC is like internally or our motivations. The only reason we've made our numbers public is to make our case for what is, to us, an actual problem in the game.

[AyaneKiwara]

I've actully seen your members around, I didn't realize you guys were that big... and I thought I couldn't avoid fellow TKN members with the number we have. o.O

And yeah, we had probelms with the LS limit ourselves which is why we're a FC. I do hope they could buff the numbers for both but I doubt it will happen.

I knew PBC was up there around cap, I didnt realize that DGKK was one and the same.
