Cross-Center Free Company Membership

Aether and Crystal are fully congested at this point.

Getting a ton of players to all transfer to Dynamis is just out of the question.

Please allow players from Dynamis to join Free Companies in Aether and Crystal.

We can travel to these places any ways, it would be nice if a FC wasn't bound to a specific server.

This would also bring a lot of friends together that refuse to cross-world transfer.

I'm on board for Cross World FC's. That sounds like a great change, though I dunno how they'd manage to make it with all the systems they'd need to change. But If it could be done, I'd definitely be keen.

Yeah, I don't see why not. If anything, I think they should start working on making mega-servers and abolishing the old server system since at this point it's pretty pointless and hindering than beneficial (Although housing plots might make it more difficult)

Reminder: they sundered old NA and other DCs since too many worlds at once made them all inefficient, so there's no reason to make the same mistake again by having mega-DCs since it would just bring back the same problems for no reason.

Instanced housing would solve all the issues

Yeah, they're constantly asking for people to go to the preferred worlds and it would make sense for people to go if they weren't already friends with people on Aether and Crystal.

Seems like the most logical thing to do.

Instance housing, unfortunately, will never come. We've been pushing this for 13 years with no resolution.

At least with a cross-server FC community, you could purchase a house on one of the preferred servers and have everyone play on their respective servers without the transfer fees.

They aren't asking for cross-world FCs, but cross-DC FCs. Now it seems like they are making cross-DC linkshells (CWLS covering all of them), so they could extend FC chat over, but there would seem certain practicality issues with FCs since it means traveling over to enter their house. I believe one of the main issues why FCs are world-specific is their ingrained attachment to same-world houses and it would help if they first allowed people to own houses on worlds that aren't their homeworld. This would probably then allow FCs to be cross-world.

You're correct. This is asking for Cross-DC (aka Cross-Center) Free Company membership.

Aether and Crystal are full. Totally full. It doesn't make any sense to have Cross-Server FCs if you can't tap into fresh blood.

Misspoke then. But I'd be down for whatever form it would take.
