Free Company Capacity - Insufficient Resources to Complete this Action

Make the linkshell for the officers only. Problem sovled.

With that said, I'm cool if they increased the cap. I don't know why people are against it. Yes, give me more of everything please!

Care to bet money on that?

Well then wait a few more days. The 15th of Oct is the last the for those who had No subs. Also the 15th starts the server transfers. So let us know what happens to your FC after that date. Also you didnt show the bottom of Page 3 ^^.

Also you didnt show the bottom of Page 3 ^^.

The two first pages each hold 200 names. So as you can see from that shot at least 420 people have logged in in the last 5 days. Did we mention the second FC is closing on 400 members? Given, there are several members ther that haven't logged in for weeks, but even clearing out those we're still way over the limit for one FC.

This is the second time someone has suggested that we "use a linkshell."

What problem would this solve for us, and how would it solve it?

While I think 512 is already a ridiculously absurd amount of people for one FC. I won't sit here and tell you how to run your FC but I will tell you that you're probably the ONLY FC between all servers and all regions that has that many members. Now the keyword is "probably" because you'd be the only one I've ever heard of with that many members.

Having said that, I doubt you'll see an increase, unless more and more FC's start popping with over 512 people. . .so at the moment, you'd be beating a dead horse and you'd also be feeding ignorant people fuel to give you a hard time, I'd say. . .get a voice chat server. . . .a really really really expensive one. . . .

As discussed earlier in the thread, we already have a voice-chat server. It is not feasible for 700+ people to effectively organize groups with each other and ask questions or give advice over a voice chat program. That is what we use the FC chat for and is why we are asking if the FC limit could go up so that we can organize and help each other using in-game functions.

sound smore like a zergsponge than an established guild...

As someone who has been working on organization for the FC and maintaining servers and writing software to handle a large number of members smoothly, months before anyone but a few of us knew that this game would probably end up rather popular and that we'd need these resources, what you said is highly ignorant and offensive.

That's just from skimming the list of FCs up to "F". I don't need to compile a full list, do I?

I don't care if you think big FCs are bad or inefficient or unskilled or whatever, but denying actual facts is just asinine.

All those listed are still within the limits though, I'm sure there are others over limit besides the one you're representing but I never defamed you or anyone who enjoys large groups of people and I never denied facts. I said "keyword "probably". . ." because I wasn't sure if there were more FC's with large amounts of people other than the one you're representing, it's in the very quote you quoted.

Someone representing you're guild said they have 512 members + spill over 256 members was it? While the guilds you listed have a huge amount of members they're not 1 member over the limit. . .so you would still be the largest guild accross all regions that I've ever heard of because there's no way of knowing unless the masters of said guilds come forth and request the same thing you're trying to request.

I know you're eager to try and own me up but before you waste your time looking through F-Z, save it, I'm not denying just not convinced because of the reason I've stated above.

I'm not trying to "own you up", whatever the heck that means.

Large groups exist. We're a large group that ran into the limit. There are other large groups out there who are also at the limit, or very close to it. There are other communities who have decided to work around the roster size: I know Reddit's FFXIV subreddit chose to splinter into dozens of FCs instead of attempting to deal with the FC cap as we are. We're interested in communicating with S-E about possible changes, like FC alliances or a purchaseable roster size increase.

It's absolutely ridiculous to just start contesting actual verifiable information with dumb "probably" hypotheticals. Maybe you can just accept that we're a group that has different aims than you and yours, instead of chiming in from the peanut gallery about how you think I'm actually just a figment of my own imagination?
