Excalibur is a legacy server so you might have to drop the WoW mindstate of having a guild since most endgame ls on legacy servers got static linkshells they do events with. Its disturbing to see how infested this community is getting with all these non FF or FFXI gamers in general that are enforcing their gaming mentality on the legacy servers
Fc is meant to be a fun thing with your online friends for the buff. Keep your friendship circle small so everyone can make a change and contribute. Eventually someone will always be better than another person so make sure to keep a static LS for the endgame. Since this is a casual friendly game make sure to focus ont he casuals and not the hardcore thats my advice to you. Get a group of friends and start a social ls aside to represent the group so your behavior and personality can reflect on more people so that they will eventually join your ranks aswell If you get a few people that get along with eacother people from other fc that are in your social ls will eventually see that and might have a change of heart. Please do for myself as a legacy player and everyone else on a legacy dont call it a guild. Legacy servers is a holy place with FFXI players and 1.0 don't kill the vibe.
