Were fellowships a meaningful addition to the game?

Fellowships are useful as advertising boards where you can post recruitment ads for FCs, Linkshells, Discords, and so on.
Other than that they are of very limited use. Any actual discussions are best done elsewhere.

Personally I forget they even exist until I remember they do, then they're promptly forgotten.

I think they were a waste, honestly. The functions they have would have been much better if they were folded into Free Companies, and if they wanted to create non-FC social groups, they would have been much better to have looked at Blizzard's Communities that are able to span servers and games for their template.

We use them as a tool for the fc just to give more details such as a discord link and ridiculous polls

When they first came out I was excited about the possibility of a new way to connect with people but it didn't pan out. Maybe due somewhat to laziness on my part since they weren't designed with all the tools to do what I desired. At any rate, I gave up on using them for anything.

They are great for personal notes and reminders. Things to do on Tuesday, daily content, glamours to farm next and so on.

I would have preferred that the message board system from fellowships had been added to Free Companies and Linkshells.

This would have been far more useful. A message board system on the Free Company menu would be very handy.

I had to think back what the heck Fellowship is then i remember it nothing i ever use.

They are a nice addition for FCs and lnkshells, to leave a message there when no one is online or using the poll to determine what content the people are interested in, but they can hardly stand on their own.

I wonder if they're one of those things that see way more use on the JP datacenters?

Because if you told me today that fellowships had been deleted 6 months ago, I'd have no reason not to believe you.

I have yet to see what they are really used for. Some of them are for meeting people I suppose, but the numerous amounts of ERP ones I see each week is...uhhh....interesting.

what. you don't want to make your dreams come true with the FFXIV Tinder fellowship?
