I know a lot of people are hesitant and concerned about leaving where they are. They like the feeling of playing with a small group of friends that they're close to, and being able to make decisions within the FC. What I'm proposing would allow you to continue to do the same.

The leadership at <Gaijin> has changed, and Shannelle and I are working hard to help build this into the most active and fun FC that we can. However, it's not something that we can do alone! We generally have 20-30 concurrent users online at any given time that are very friendly, and are all here to have a good time. I think our FC is not too big, but not too small either to call home.

We would like to invite players from other FCs to join us and merge into a stronger English-speaking community on Ultima. In order to ensure everyone's voices are heard in reshaping the FC, we'd like each FC that chooses to merge with us to select their own officer to help run <Gaijin> and make it home they'd like it to be.
