Now I am in a new linkshell with a bunch of people from Bismark who I would follow to whatever server they choose under option 4, but but but but...

If my old XI group returns in 2.0, and some will I am sure, they may login to some randomly chosen server with no way to find out which of many servers the shell landed on. I can update the ones who still play XI with the new location, but the ones who no longer play XI would be lost potentially forever. The lack of a real flist system make this unworkable.
It's already been said that you can follow people on the lodestone and leave a message on their blog, there are ways to keep in touch, whether they would think to look on the lodestone is another matter intirely lol.
