Greetings from Melmond!

[Rika_Lunalei]

<3 Reinheart. As for the Grand Companies, Like mentioned above, there's an LS for the Maelstrom and one for the Flames too, both created by Omen members XD. I'm not actually sure whether or not there's one for the Adders or not, or if there's more than one LS for the other two.

I see shouts for the Flames Caravans often enough, but rarely for the other two, That might be because I spend most of my time in Ul'dah though >_>. Most of the time we do Maelstrom caravans we form through the LS for it and tend to be the only group out there as well.

I can say that the Flames have the most members and that the other two seem about even, though the numbers above seem to indicate that Maelstrom might have a bit of an edge over the Adders.

Just wanted to chime in and say hello to everyone! Everyone seems nice so far, which is great! I'm the leader of Phoenix Order, and we're basically as Seiken described. A lot of our players are endgame, and we do endgame events regularly but we're pretty relaxed about it; though we do keep pace with the other endgame LSes. We just like to branch out and take in newer players as well and have that social aspect. We're also a late night PST shell, so we'll often be doing events at hours that are pretty ungodly to many people. Doesn't mean we're not friendly though. =)

I'd say 75% of PO are Adders, but that was a conscious choice in the LS. It kind of feels to me like the numbers are a little closer to even across the board like Elysia said, with a bit of a Flames bias if anything. I think that caravans just aren't a frequently done event in general, at least among the NA population, so there's a good chance that if you go out with a group you'll have the event to yourself at any given time.

One thing I'd like to mention is that it looks like everyone on Melmond gets along pretty well. That's really cool, because one thing I really like about Figaro is how well everyone gets along. There are some LSes with closer relationships than others like PO and Dancing Mad, but for the most part everyone is friendly and there's generally no real drama between LSes (that I know of at least). I hope we can keep it that way and we can all enjoy playing together. Looking forward to seeing all of the new faces. ^^

The ladies do love the subligars and Reinheart. ^_^ Sweet, I'm glad there's a good mix. We have a few gc linkshells in Melmond but they are both jp linkshells to my knowledge. We have a ll and Grid one. If I am not mistaken most of our Ul'dahns tend to be mostly en speakers. Hopefully I'll get to do a caravan with ya Elysia assuming I head to Aegis which it looks like my ls is. Rika I am sure there are shouts you might not just notice them due to the fact your and Ul'dahn looking for the Ul'dahn gc caravans. If Figaro is as nice as you guys are on the forums I am sure we will all get along swimmingly. As you guys and myself as long as you don't mind me walking up to your cat ladies and saying "Hey baby you looking for a good time Sweet Cheeks?" we should be fine.

Edit in response to Karina's post: Most melmond players know each other due to the fact that our NA base has been large then dwindled a few times it seems like players come and go alot on our server. When I first started playing as soon as I hit my first 50 I knew all of the other 50's or knew of them. For the most part a lot of Melmondians (Look at me I'm fancy making up words XD) have multiple linkshells to play with to increase the chances of getting a party. We mostly do things with in the linkshells we have. We have a linkshell that gets upset if your with another ls and not wearing their tag but they might adapt and change with the merger. As for me I used to carry 8 linkshells but I decided to drop them all but 2. I carry a Mercury pearl and a Fightclub pearl. Fightclub died awhile back though sadly though. But I am a dedicated member to it and don't plan to drop it though because it was my first home. Right now I feel as if Mercury is my current home and I have no need for another linkshell I decided. I am sure I shall be picking some linkshells as the merger happens though. I might be slow to picking some up or quick to picking some up it will all depend on how comfortable I feel with the people I meet.

One ls I play with a lot on our server and an ls of notoriety is Ohana, But they're an international ls lead by an Aussie with many members from JP and few from NA.

This is a very important question for me:

Is that aussie-led linkshell migrating to Gyshal/Masamune or not along with many other oceanic players?

A presence of players in my time zone will greatly impact on my decision to stay or go to where more oceanic players are.

To my knowledge they're staying. I know several of the member's are Aussie but they do have a strong japanese presence in their linkshell. The leader is a good friend of mine I can ask him to be sure and edit this later on after I know for sure.

Escaflowne might be more of what you are looking for though. If I am not mistaken they're a large group of oceanic players. I do not know of their plans though.

[Loki_Jortunn]

Everyone forgets about Tonberry Preservation Society, even Rika who is a member *cough, cough* Like all the above we are down in numbers as people loose interest in the wait for 1.21. We are the relaxed end game LS no set times if people are on and want to do moogle or ifrit we do it but outside that we all do our own thing and help anyone out both inside and outside LS. I know we help other linkshells get numbers up for events and vice versa and Figaro in general is a friendly place with out much competitiveness that FF11 had.

[Rika_Lunalei]

Haha sorry Loki ^_^;... But yeah in general Figaro is friendly and LS's are willing to help each other out, not to say there there aren't a few bad apples and ls's that actually hate each other though... >_>; I suspect its the same on all servers since it's probably impossible to have no drama.

[Theplatter]

Yep, pretty much what Chibi said about the NA LS's. I know there's a lot of JP LS's but they contain most of the same people. Our LS (Radiant Plume) has around 25 members, about 1/2 NA and 1/2 EU, I'm just not sure how many of the EU will be going to Ragnarok (we're still discussing it).

[DyskoFox]

Yes, we have some bad apples & drama lama's on our server they're every where sadly. Some might call me one but they're just upset I left that I left their linkshell. I do not believe I am a bad apple I just speak my mind when I find some thing to be wrong. As for our bad apples you shall meet them and we shall meet yours. Hopefully the nice friendly players will make it all worth having the bad apples around.

[Thainna]

Awe snap! If Eu people leave Radiant Plume it might be my chance to join up. =P

Nothing wrong with speaking your mind. For me, it's 'how' you say...er... type rather. I've had my issues periodically because some go straight to being jerk to get their point across. It's just not the way to go... lol

We should have a huuuuuge party! Ya know... eat sweets and shoot off fireworks, dance around on the beach! XD Did that alot in XI >.> I miss Bibiki Bay... lol
