The Grand Companies Are Coming! (07/15/2011)

[ZhangoSqu]

To enlist with a Grand Company, first make your way to its headquarters, which can be accessed from the host city-state's market wards entrance. Once inside, speak with the recruitment officer and you will be asked to undertake a mission,* the completion of which will earn you induction into the organization as a recruit.
* Available only to adventurers rank 22 or above.

As recruits are not yet bound to an organization, adventurers are encouraged to use this opportunity to discover firsthand with which company's ethos they most closely identify.

So, as far as I can tell from reading the above, we're bound to only one Grand Company after we pass beyond the rank of recruit. Am I wrong? Will we not be able to experience all Grand Company storylines?
