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.

Note: Sorry about the post misfire earlier!
Please please reconsider that limit, if Free Companies will be taking the place of current Linkshells and linkshells will become nothing more than chat channels we will have the same issues with Free Companies as we currently have with Linkshells, a large limit or unlimited spots in a Free Company will be a lot better.
