Free Company Information

[BotenAnna]

Good evening!

Ogre Okipuit here with a bit more information and clarification about Free Companies!

As you may have heard, you'll need at least 4 people to create a free company and of course you can add more over time. We haven't finalized the details yet, but we're planning on allowing at least 100 members to join an FC.

As for the relationship between grand companies and free companies:

• By requesting permission from a grand company, a free company can become a subsidiary of that grand company.
• Despite the fact that free companies are subsidiaries of grand companies, you do not need to be members from the same Grand Company in order to found or join an FC.

We also plan on making it possible to place your free company's crest on certain equipment.

Current LS features will be carried on to Free Companies and it will be possible to delegate leader rights. As for Linkshells, in A Realm Reborn they will be treated as chat channels.

100 is an extremely low limit and difficult to manage. I really hope this ends up being much higher.

So much irony.

It's actually not that low of a number considering you can only be a member of one free company at a time. A lot of people have multiple Linkshells and so there's an overlap. If you eliminated that overlap I imagine most shells would have much fewer members.
