FC help

[Enkidoh]

Welcome to Eorzea!

The posting restrictions were because during the Beta test the special forum only Beta testers could access was inundated with spam and trolling, which resulted in SE implementing similar restrictions there. Then, once the Beta test ended and it's forum was shut down, SE must have decided that to avoid a repeat of that situation the same restrictions would be implemented here on the official forum as well.

The restrictions are based on player level, so once you gain more levels in game you'll find you'll have far less restrictions posting on the forum.

As for seeking out membership to a FC, the best way is to read the forum for your server, which you can still do even if your current level doesn't allow you to actually post there (in your case, Ultros), find a FC recruiting that suits your needs, and take note of the owner or any officers listed who you can contact. Then once in game, seek these people out and ask if you can join - if they're actively seeking on the forum then they should be happy enough to invite you.
