Linkshell Options

[SizeMatters]

Why don't you like that one? What if it was only available to the LS holder?

I'd be okay with that since I'm not an officer or a leader

[*]The ability to see where and what Rank/class my members are.

Don't know why I skipped past this one, but i just saw it. This feature wouldn't really be necessary because if you wanted to, you can just look them up on lodestone (or if you are fancy like my LS, you can have a roster on your LS website that has all that info.)

Was thinking of an additional feature, maybe the option to Change LS name? Maybe Chat with the LS NPC to change the name. Maybe even pay some gil to do so?

I added that one mainly because it was one of the staple features in the XI LS sytem which worked well. Class/Rank/Location/Nation was all displayed in a very neat and well put together fashion. You could kick/promote/demote members whether they are offline or on opposite side of the world. They didn't need to be online or standing next to you.

The one missing feature XI was lacking LS wise was ability to pass on leadership so when the leaders bailed on LS a member had to make a new LS and pass out pearls to the members of the old LS.

All things listed in the OP are great adds to the LS system.

I would also add including more ranks and options to give to ranks and a menu for the LS showing messages, notes for characters, and would be awesome if a LS forum or event point tracker could implemented into this LS menu. The forum thing is a bit much to ask for but I think it's still cool.

there is a LS forums built into the lodestone if thats what you meant.

That's true, but some people just don't do online forums or anything outside the game for that matter and this would allow more than just 1 message to be posted for people to check. I don't mean like intricate forum it could just be 1 simple thread that those with permission can change the name of the topic at any time and that those with permission can post messages.

Think of it as a casual forum for a casual purpose.

One option I dont see which might be good is a "personal message", i've seen this in other games and XI kind of had it but it was on the Friendslist and only in playonline, not ingame.

A personal message be useful for if someone is going away on holiday or something he can put the message there so the leader doesnt boot him, be similar to windows live messenger personal message.

the way it could be shown without making the window cluttered is each member has a mini profile, so in the ls list you'd click a member and instead of the mini menu a profile box appears (similar to /check) which shows information about the character such as last login, location, online/offline, personal message, then buttons to /tell, /kick /promote etc

Thats a good idea, sadly I just can't see SE putting work into the LS system to that extent unless we can get the community to mass behind it. I'm all for it, simplifies the LS screen a ton with most if not all of the suggestions in my post.

This can be done on the Linkshells website instead.
