Add a FC recruitment system

[Joe_Schmoe]

WoW has this, the guild finder menu I think it was called. The only downside is that lots of guilds with only 1 member would flood the list, meaning you'd have to wade through a lot of spam just to get to the ones actually worth looking at. So I'd say in order for this idea to work your FC must be at least level _2_ and have at least _10_ members in order to post, to keep the clutter to a minimum. Good idea otherwise.

Why punish smaller FC's and make it that much harder for them? Would make more sense overall to add a filter for "Minimum number of players: X" rather than outright block out brand new FC's that would want to use a system like this to grow, imo =)

Or make it so you have to opt in. Single-player FC's don't necessarily want to recruit at all.

YOu could just filter out all the ones who don't have that rrecruitement thingy i dunno the english name of. If they don't have that on, there's no use in including them.

Hello everyone!

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions so far. I wanted to let you know that the dev. team is looking into ways to make it easier for FCs to recruit new members as well as ways for players to find a free company which suits them best.

We'll be sure to pass along your thoughts and feedback!

Give us the ability to advertise using a retainer outside our house instead of simply broadcasting a message while we are in game.

Has there been any discussion about cross server or even cross data center FC's? With the way current FC's operate, I know that is near impossible, but if it is possible, it would make for an easier way for players to form up FCs for raiding, endgame, or simply cause they want to hang out. Considering that the housing wards seem to be completely separate servers, I don't see it as being difficult for FCs to be setup to cross servers/data center or stay dedicated to one server. It could/would also open up the possibilities for World First Teams to branch out and give them more opportunities to go after world first on more than one server...would mean more sub fee possibly.

That'd work (I don't think WoW had that, just a filter for guild types and activities). Good call. Mainly whatever would spare you from having to scroll like crazy just to find one that looks like they put some effort into it.
