what this game REALLY needs is better ways to socialize and scedule things with people! why not have at the very LEAST an LS message system like in FFXI, where you could chyme in your 2 lines of text whenever someone logged on... really thats all i ask for...

on top of that, maybe some sort of in-game event calendar or LS board that the pearl holders could update to let people know that their LS is doing events without the leader having to announce it every 4 minutes when someone is on. or commanding them to sign up for a forum that they didnt want to look at in the first place :P
