    Somehow I feel this screenshot was taken on a weekend on the day they added new people lol When in reality, we all know they only have less than 40 on at a time now, especially considering the free trial is up and quite a few people stopped getting on.
    When you assume things, you make an ass out of ume, the Japanese plum. Do not abuse fruit.

    Yeah, sure is funny when you're harassing me by making up stories about some kind of long-distance abuse campaign. I'd appreciate if you just dropped it and realized what a jerk you're being.

    It's not assuming things, to get members in the first place, one must advertise (or just invite anyone and hope they accept). They might not have done it recently, or after you joined, but at some point, they did shout / random invite for people, like all FC or even all guilds in every mmo have

    There is on other avenue that one can take to recruit. That is to gather members from an already existing community one is a part of, which is exactly what we have done.

    Woah, hey. I'm okay with community members being critical of each other, but why are you calling that person a "goon"? Don't you think that is a little unnecessary and rude, Molly_Millions? You really need to learn some manners!!

    Read the thread, that's what they call themselves, and why it's in quotes.

    Once again, this is during Wednesday night peak; I don't understand these claims that we only ever have 20 people on. Please don't make things up.



    On weekends and tome reset days it gets closer to 150-200. Especially now the launch rush is calming down, I don't see how 20% of the company being logged in is indicative of ill health. Once again, we regularly remove people who haven't logged in for a week or two. We have a big FC because we like and enjoy it, and like having active players together, and go through extraordinary effort to organize our FC especially in the wake of being divided by an arbitrarily low size limit.

    Your FC is bound to devide eventually, it's inevitable.

    How can you even manage 512+ people... Large FC's are the worst, I like FC's that are nice and small.

    Problem is most players don't realize you can be in 10 linkshells. So I join a small FC that get's crap done, then I formed my own linkshell with 50 plus people in it I use for farming CM/AK etc etc
    Why does everyone have to like to do things the same way you do? We enjoy being in a large company and work together diligently to make sure everyone enjoys their time. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, people who couldn't roll on Excalibur to be with us are expressing that they are having difficulty progressing because it takes a long time or is impossible to find people to do things with that they know and trust. As such, a big ol' [Citation Needed] on that it's "inevitable" that we "devide"; we have a system in place to advertise raiding and other specific-purpose linkshells to our members to split off for specific activities that work better in smaller, more dedicated groups while still enjoying the benefits of a large group on all levels of progression and experience to socialize and form pick-up groups with.

    If you don't want to play the exact same way we do, that's fine, but it's incredibly rude of you to be upset that someone else might enjoy the game a different way than you do.

    I don't mean to be rude, but 512 is a lot of people. If you consider that the max online at a time for a server is like 7k people, that could end up being 14% of the server pop in your FC. This isn't WOW (1000 cap) where there could be 15+ thousand people on one server at the same time or more. I just can't fathom how 512+ people can be in one FC that isn't chocked full of me me me whiners and eltists or leeches.

    But mostly, I think that 512 is high enough that dev's can spend their valuable time working on more pressing issues, like releasing housing, fixing game breaking bugs, banning rmt without taking innocent people's gil, etc etc.

    I almost want to reroll on OP's server and join that FC just to see if by some miracle they maintain some sense of order with that many people. I would be truly amazed and that server might have the best community of any of them if they actually make that work and keep everyone getting along.

    Here's the part you're missing: we're not some randomly recruited ball of average MMO players; we're all from SA, meaning we're already a community. We just drop said community in whatever game we're on at the time (or rather, the portion of that even larger community that likes that game)

    It's really not hard to keep it all together, because we're already together outside of the game.

    (side note: because of this, you can't even join the FC, unless you have an SA account in good standing)
