A lot of small guilds recruiting...

[Mathian]

...so what if we pooled our resources together?

I get the sense that several of these guilds are trying to fill gaps in their rosters by recruiting new folks, us included. Well, what if our gaps overlap? Would your guild be willing to share players and vice versa?

Here is a list of guilds, linking to their posts, that have general recruiting posts (more than 1 specific role) on the top 2 pages, and specifics (if provided):
Ohana - recruiting 2.2 progression-ready adults
Time Savers - social guild
Midgar Marauders
The Yagudo Initiative - social free company, international
Tsundere <Baka!> - intro Coil(?)
UNITY - T5 Coil progression
Gamers With Jobs - First Coil(?), X Primals
Holdsquare Reapers - PSN based, 21+
Into Memoria - Turn 5
Kupo - 2.2 progression
Stardust Crusaders - filthy casuals and new players
Cosmic Wheel
Spiritbondage - Coil 1-5+(?), X Primals
Grievance
Eternal Strife

Maybe some of our guilds should contact one another -- those with similar goals and needs -- and work together. I will be contacting some of you in game, and feel free to talk to us too!

Let's give you guys some more resources to work with

http://xivsoul.com/worlds/Midgardsormr

1144 Free Companies on the server | 17619 players on the server in Free Companies |

All FC's on Midgardsormr High to Low= http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest..._lang=&order=3

All FC's on Midgardsormr Low to HIgh= http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest..._lang=&order=4

I highly debate the "Active" tag on the lodestone.


Sweet n Sour Chocobo has already absorbed our 7th small FC on the server and looking for more. We are running raid groups each Tuesday in 4 different time zones. and Wednesday is all day primal runs.

I would encourage you from staying as far away from Weisse Legion as you can as they are part of the active botting problem on this server as shown in this older blog post on our website http://sweetnsourchocobo.com/botsbotsbotsbotsbots/

Square has a habit of banning first and never asking questions later.

Regardless, not only do we as a server have to work together but we need to work on luring fresh blood to the server. Sweet n Sour Chocobo will continue to fund server transfers to skilled raiders we poach from other servers. I would encourage all FC's to not only look inward to our limit player base but also encourage players to start / reroll / transfer here.

Take what you want from this...

It'd be nice if we were able to group FC's together by goals -- there are FC's looking for 2.2 raiders, those for T1-5, those which are purely social, etc. We are looking at contacting 2.2 (Levi/T6+) raiders.

haha I never knew about the high low button. I don't know how many times I've looked at that page. Another point that does need considering as well as addressed is an accurate count of current members. I myself have made an alt and jumped between a few different FC's to see if they indeed had 200+ members. From my experience this is not always the case. I was invited to Weisse legion literally seconds after making a character and they had roughly 5-10 online active members. 95% of the members are made up of people who joined the game and stopped playing. They had people on their roster 270+ days of inactivity! Everyone do the server and those seeking to join your ranks a favor boot your INACTIVES!!!!!!!!!! Eternal Strife boots any member not active over 45+ unless they were a major contributor to the FC then they get booted after 60 days.

There was a big topic about this a while back on some FC claiming to have over 500 members (think 700?) and then proceeding to argue with people who were pointing out that 98% of them were unactive since release lol

But really, people should clear out those long unactive people, because in a way, it hurts the smaller FCs who are trying to get members because a lot (a majority) of people won't join a FC if it has under X amount and go for the big number ones, even if half are unactive :/
