Active FC ?

[LalaRu]

It happened to me to talk with some mates about the fc "activity", just to find out (no wonders, anyway) how different may be the things a player expect from a FC to define if as "active"

To me, "active" is a FC that have scheduled events/raids, and with some members around on my own playtime. What are the things you expect from a FC to call it active by yourself?

Chatty at all different times of the day. Willing to help each other is good too, but that gets more into 'what makes for a good FC' rather than just 'active'.

[LalaRu]

Oh yes. The willing for help, I take that for granted but yes, good to say, I'm up for it too!

Chatty, welcoming to new players, asks FC before doing roulettes etc if anyone wants to come with, raids etc. I don't think a FC needs to have set events to be called active, just people actually doing them weekly together regardless of when. :3

I think if you get a bit of a sense of community within your fc it's fair to define it as active. For me, I know most times of day if I login there'll be multiple people online to chat and run stuff with, so I think of my fc as active. Just having people online but not saying/doing anything with others in the fc, doesn't count.

I don't care about scheduled events at all (the only thing to really schedule is Coil, and I gave up being a raider. I'm one of those..."if me making a mistake can wipe the whole party, I'm a panicky trainwreck" kind of people) but I think an active FC is one that talks regularly throughout the day (not silent for hours on end, or only talking to do an instance) and does stuff together - whether it's grouping up for hunts, doing instances, having weird underwear dance parties in Mor Dhona...
