Quick update, for those inquiring:

Esoteric is kind of on hold for the time being as I seem to be trying to put the cart before the horse. What I mean by this, is every person I recruit inevitably leaves because FC activity is low, so what I plan to do is get a group of friends and a static raiding/dungeoning group then try to revisit the whole FC thing at a more appropriate time. That doesn't mean you can't still join my linkshell in the meantime while we figure things out, in fact I would encourage you to do so!

Thanks guys;
~Ky
