Taking into account a 50% reduction, it would take 1,000 members 6 months to obtain the best property, 500 members would take a year, it's simple enough.

Hi Lexx! /1.0alpha brofist

Anyway talking Legacy servers, 625mil (the most expensive) after 90 days is 310mil (considering a 50.4% reduction - though obvs not sure if it's 50.4% or 50%, but w/e). So for a 100 (active) member FC that's 3.1mil each. That's 1mil per month which is 250k/week - that's not by any means a stretch. Give it six months rather than three if you're playing casually.

I do see the point that most of us exist in FCs that have substantially smaller headcounts (mine is 10 for instance). It annoys me that FCs have the functionality and the identity and that LSes are just chat channels - if it were reversed and the LSes had the identity and Actions, yet small LSes could join together under one FC banner, this whole thing would be a lot more palatable.

Also, for 155mil (price for large on my server after 90 days) I don't want a glorified tavern, I want a Twelve-damned castle with individual barracks rooms for each of the sub-groups of the FC, an armoury, a airship-landing bay, a shop, a stables, a war-chamber, a throne room and a sodding aetheryte crystal.
