    Free companies + Linkshell names

    I was wondering if linkshell names and free companies could be tied up together.
    It'd be a pain to have to make both each time so you don't have someone making a shell with the same name.

    Linkshell is for more casual and social while FC would work like a Guild in wow. They have achievements to unlock and even bonus you can unlock that everyone get in the FC. You can only be part of one FC so it more of a endgame system then social that is why you have a linkshell. So there two diff system and diff chat just like RoxyLalonde said.

    "they have hint this but not 100% sure they have this ready anytime soon in 2.0"
    They also said we have a linkshell building where i'm guessing we have our FC bank and system where leader can controller who take out stuff i guess something like wow system. They even said we get a airship later down the road and maybe a hall where doors would lead to your personal house.

    Free companies and linkshells are not intended to serve the same purpose. Linkshells are basically just chat channels linking people together. Free companies are looking like a full guild system and probably have their own chat. So there deosn't really seem to be any need to have a linkshell with the same name as your FC.

    Lets say you make a FC called Muffins.
    Then I go, I make a LS called Muffins. I start treating everyone like crap, get a bad rep.

    You'd be okay with sharing the same name?

    That's one of the issues.

    I agree with OP. It would make sense to me that the pool of used names was shared between FC and LS.

    its two diff system tho one you get from a npc and the other you have to sign up on a free company. Most endgame would make ls for social and one for there endgame with the same name.

    Sadly i don't see much of a issue here but i guess if there is they fix it lol.
