New Player Impressions

[Failia]

Thank you for the replies! Imagine my surprise when I found I could log into the forums from work. I wasn't expecting that....shh don't tell them.

I haven't really started looking for a FC as of yet simply because I've been focusing on leveling myself and I when I go looking for a guild/league/organization/clan/etc (dependingon the game you play), I like to research a lot of different ones to see which will be my best fit. Once I join one, I usually stick with them. I don't like to hop around. I'll probably start after I get myself to a sufficient level (likely around 30).

By the way...what's a linkshell? That like a private chat channel that's shared? And what level is required to be able to post on other forums?

That's right, linkshells are just shared private channels. You can have up to 8 and can create them on your own at any level.
On the other hand, Free Companies are more like guilds you may have found on another MMOs, meaning you can have just 1 and get some benefits from it.

Many thanks for the information! That's strangely restrictive but I'll just have to live with it. I guess it's good that I'm more or less waiting until 30 to look for a FC since I can't start any threads or make too many replies until about that time. I'm already browsing the community forums now.
