Free Company Content

[Solarra]

Every time we've had FC exclusive content, people who prefer playing solo come forward and say it isn't fair and the devs listen to them. The result is that individuals can get buffs, are going to get submarines and very, very little is left that requires a FC. The workshop is FC exclusive, but it's basically single player and it excludes FCs who do not have houses.

There is no real benefit to joining a FC, and because there is no content and no rewards it's very hard to keep one going. The only FCs I've seen thrive and survive long term are small 'friends and family' FCs or raiding FCs. It's a real shame we don't have more FC content that encourages people to cooperate, unfortunately the game is going more and more towards being solo-friendly. That's not a bad thing in itself, but FCs could definitely do with a little more love.

There is a huge difference between doing content with random players and doing it with friends or FC members. Most of my good MMO memories are from doing things with friends.
