Free Company Capacity - Insufficient Resources to Complete this Action

[BotenAnna]

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.

512 is fine imo, FC's should not get bigger than that, I'd consider it a monopoly on players if it did. And you can bet that when people hit 50 there not going to stick around very long if they get skipped over for Titan HM, and BCB/crystal tower etc.

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)

oh my, Goon in ARR?

Did you guys get bored after kicking TEST out of Delve?

I don't know what this means, what is this? There a lot of goons, PBC is a pretty different group from other goon groups. Like we try to be polite and friendly community members.

He's referring to EVE Online goons.

We manage pretty damn well!! Please don't project your own experiences with game guilds onto us. We're a stable group that's been nearly drama-free.

Understandable. On weekend primetimes, FC chat can get really busy but not everyone is constantly talking and there's many people who never speak up because they're shy or whichever.
