My FC used to be pretty booming back around launch, but died out really hard by 2.1 due various reasons, and caused me and my co-leader to decide to take a break for a bit from XIV. 2.2 is out, we came back and we're honestly loving it all over again, and looking revive our Rank 5 FC in this modern time of XIV.

So I was curious if there's any pointers, like the Do and Don't of trying to build and manage a FC.
  • What the proper way to advertise it? Is shouting ingame really acceptable?
  • How big is honestly too big? Used to be 40+ members in my FC, yet I see others with 100+ and wonder how that works out in such groups.
  • Is there really a place for a more casual FC at this point in the game? (IE - Leveling / dungeons, not so much T6+ Coil / EX content)

If there's extra bits I missed or others feel should be addressed, you're more than welcome to toss it in a reply and I'll greatly appreciate it.
