To all you successful FC leaders... How did you do it?

My goal in the Mateus server is to first earn 180 million gil so that I can fund a 30-man army who'd conquer Ul'dah through roleplaying. (Mateus is a roleplaying server) That's 6 million gil per year per person.

That might take a while

Also 6 million gil a year is chump change, they could earn more than that much just by using your expert panhandling methods in half the time. \o/

You're talking to someone who have earned over 30 million gil throughout his 7 months of playing, half of which were gained by socializing alone. That's 15 million gil gained through sheer social skills.
