Free Company Alliances are necessary to save the social state of this game

I mostly agree with this. I'd also like to add that FCs on particularly Balmung feels like an entirely different ball game than other servers. At least it has felt that wsy to me in my personal experiences. Balmung is prone to having to deal with problems that are less common else where. Like the constant influx of rarely logging in alts. A constant desire for story progressive RP, rampant ERP. I have seen people leave FCs just cause nobody would do the dirty with them. I feel like an FC owning a house is much more important towards recruitment on Balmung as well. With no vacant houses or apartments, the demand for a private room is higher on Balmung. I could be wrong but these are just my observations.

I've actually never been in an FC in Balmung. I was on...I wanna say 3 different servers before I settled into Balmung. So that's where my experiences lie.

However if even half of what you say is true and I'm actually likely to believe you...FCs in Balmung seem super lousy.

I've been on Balmung since the game started. It's been progressively getting worse, to the point over the last year and a half or so I'm feeling really discouraged. A lot of those problems are true. I don't want to ERP, I just want people to hang out with. Maybe non-ERP RP. But if anything, I just don't want the chat to feel so dead. My LS are full, but no one talks.

Balmung has a unique situation due to being the RP hub. Most servers in this game don't have a shortage of FC housing. You might not be able to get a medium or large, but you can at least get something.
