The whole 'One Linkshell Rule' thing...

[Riv]

Personally i think this game caters to multiple LS and you are kind of gimping yourself by only having one. There is so much content to do now that it's just easier to find ppl to do stuff with if you have LS's that are made specifically for those events i.e. Caravan, Hamlet, Raids, Lvling etc. Unless you have no job and everyone else in your one ls also has no job and is always on every day the same time as everyone else is...i don't see how one LS works.

I can't agree with the one LS rule. A major aspect of MMOs is social networking, forcing your members to adhere to only one shell simply is not congruent to that fact. I've got seven shells that are all at least somewhat active, if I need an extra person for a Hamlet or Primal or anything of that nature, the odds of getting a volunteer are exponentially higher if my sample size is bigger, it's simple logic. This small scale xenophobia works alright on other MMOs, but it's simply a bad idea in this one.

why not get 8th LS? sample size the bigger the better

Been looking around for the last one. I am not above whoring myself out, but I have standards. It's a precarious situation.

I have three shells that all have 90% of the same players. Go me!

Only one linkshell is required to get everything I need done. Everyone in this shell is very active and I am well acquainted with everyone in it. I cannot fathom how having multiple shells will allow for you to really get to know anyone since most of the time you'll just be switching between one linkshell or another asking to get something done with an incredible amount of inefficiency and wouldn't really know what everyone within a shell is capable of.

Unless, of course, you have already been in a certain shell for a long time and know what peoples' schedules usually consist of then I suppose having one more linkshell is ok, but still, having one extremely efficient, active, fun, and friendly linkshell consisting of dedicated people is the most desirable thing I would like, which I've already achieved and would never want to have another linkshell. Having high morale and faithful linkshell members is the best thing a linkshell could possibly have, which only requires one.

tl;dr: I disagree about having multiple shells. It's inefficient and you can't really spend a lot of your time getting well acquainted with those within several different shells.
