Free Company Capacity - Insufficient Resources to Complete this Action

[Magus42]

I'm interested in seeing whatever the response ends up being to this. Were in in SE's position I would probably refuse for a variety of reasons; the number one being that if you are indeed bringing another 400~500 people over to Excalibur with world transfers, that ends up leaving your FC with almost 1/7th of the entire server population...

What are you talking about? We're already on Excalibur.

All those listed are still within the limits though

For now. Who can say if they want to have more, but know they can't? Citadel there is a mere 20 below the cap.

Not at all bashing for having a large community, and can totally see why you've asked for a change rather than just accepting it, if your community's accounts are paid for you kind of have some obligation to your members to facilitate them playing together, but...

How is your FC chat not a constantly scrolling wall of text? :O

If you had 1,000 members in the same FC chat channel, you surely would be unable to read and type with any meaningful cohesion? And that many people would drown out any /tells /shouts /ls chats that you may have in the same filtered chat window? Which would surely prevent people from using the FC to chat. Which kind of defeats the point of you all being in the same FC?

Not attacking, just considering logistics!

I'd recommend having three or four equal FCs with ~200 members in each so members can freely transfer between them if they wanted to hang with different folks, rather than one full 'top' FC and one 'reserve' FC. Just a suggestion!

Because all 800+ aren't on at the same time; we have a wide range of people from all over in the FC.

Sure, but I mean with even 150 on at prime-time, that's gotta be a non-stop scrolling wall of text, surely? If there were 800-900 of you, you'd probably have double that? It would make FC chat pointless and hence your reason for wanting everyone under the same FC banner irrelevant.

Sorry if my post wasn't clear. Sometimes beer makes my writing crappy.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?

It isn't, and you aren't in our FC anyway, so please don't worry about it.

No, because the majority are actually doing things. Running a dungeon, or crafting, or leveling. We don't just sit around chatting all the time

You have proven that there might very well be a need for the limit to be increased, but I'm gonna pretend you didn't and keep talking down to you because I've got nothing better to do.

Thank you for your valuable input. Now please get out.

The FC chat was a non-stop scrolling wall of text for the first couple weeks as we were getting the hang of things. Things have calmed down now as people tend to use the linkshells for off-topic chat and the FC chat is used for organizing events across the linkshells, making announcements, and answering questions/requests that one given linkshell may not be able to handle. This is why we'd like to see all our members in one free company- right now when someone puts up a call for people to fill, say, a Praetorium or AK run only about 2/3 of our people are able to see it because the other 1/3 are required to be split into a different FC.

This thread is still going, huh? Over something that doesn't really concern anyone but the FC members themselves? Oh right... spite and entitlement. Not to mention pointless posts like my own.

Take solace in this: I used one of my limited daily posts to do absolutely nothing aside from voicing my disbelief and entertainment.
