I have an extra pearl available, which I created because I had one with the same name in FFXI. The name would actually fit with a newbie friendly shell, so I'm more than willing to invite interested people to it. It'd be really just to try and make it easier to get (lower level) parties for exp, quests, or anything else. Should enough people join, we can then consider whether it's worth turning it into a 'real' shell, but I'd be more for it that people would join a more established shell once they're used to the game, have the levels for a 'real' shell, or at least feel they're comfortable enough to join one. There wouldn't be any limitations, and everyone would be welcome, and I guess the only rules would be enjoy the game, and be nice to others
The shell is called Shiroi Ryuu, which has 2 meanings really.
- Shiroi (白い) means amongst others white (color), pure, clean, innocent, etc. So it sort of describes new players.
- Ryuu (流) means amongst others school. It fits well with the fact that the shell would be a place for new players to learn the game.
However, ryuu written as 竜 means dragon, so Shiroi Ryuu also means white dragon ..
Again, if people think it might be an idea, I'd be happy to start giving people pearls/sacks. I'd prefer not to go through the trouble if we end up with just a couple of people in it though, that would defeat the entire purpose.
