Well Magic, I can relate to your experience with Linkshells. I decided to make my own since I couldn't find what I was seeking elsewhere. I'm a player with a similar mentality. I enjoy the end game portion of the MMO. I wish I could say that my linkshell is what you're looking for but it definitely is not at this point. Finding enough good players to get going in this game is proving to be quite difficult. The ones I have found .. well lets say that most don't have the time or motivation to participate in end game. (hell, many of them don't even understand traditional end game) I guess, for now, the best thing we can do is continue to advance our classes to make ourselves that much better. Maybe you'll still be around / available when I manage to get my end game ls going. If I could find just 10 players that describe themselves the way you do, we would all have our problems solved, lol. Anyway, Drive On and Best of luck!
