Linkshell Management

[Amrita]

I agree with the OP on most points.

#1 /LSMES Please ^^;
Casual players don't check the ls forum daily. But they'll see the Linkshell Message when they log on & equip the shell (if it isn't already equiped).

#2 Ability to promote, demote and kick members from anywhere in the realm regardless if they are online or not

Just those to things would make a big difference. Help the community! Fix Linkshells! <3

Third thing would be being able to see where members are, what job (and the jobs rank) they are currently on and maybe a lil' icon that pops up if they are currently doing a levequest/behest. ^^
Then if you want to organize something, you can see what you have to work with. ^^

As for DCing when you open the ls-list... I haven't had that problem in a looonnnggg time &it only happened... maybe twice ever. >.>;

I'll mirror what has been said here.

The ability to at least remove members from the linkshell from any location is a must have. We've been forced to re-distribute our pearls twice now due to being unable to delete inactive members. It's a good excuse to have an LS event night, but also a real pain in the tail. Promote / demote from anywhere would also be welcome.

Also please include /lsmes as events would be so much easier to organize.

Completely agree on the topics mentioned. Things like /lsmes may not mean much for now, but once the HNM scene etc is introduced it will be really helpful having that feature again. Also wouldn't mind them scrapping the Linkshell Crest icons to revert back to what a Linkshell actually looks like either, put in more colour options than XI had, it would look so much better and make more sense. Crests look so ugly and out of place imo

I totally agree.

1) Leaders and officers should be able to remove members from their list without them being online. So far not being able to do this has cause us huge problems. Not really because of trouble makers, but because of space issues when people have stopped playing the game. Currently the only way to clear your linkshell is to totally break it and then remake! Also add the ability to do this at a distance when they are online and we are laughing.

2) Just adding the basics of being able to see peoples current class and rank would be such a bonus not to mention their current location.

3) /lsmes? Yes please. Sometimes its hard to get people to remember to look at your site for events and stuff. If you added this feature, event times and details would be available for those people that don't play in windowed mode.

I agree with the original topic.

I'd add one more thing :

Being able to quickly switch from LinkShell1's chat to LinkShell2's chat etc.

I just think of a simple command like :

- "/linkshell1 [text]" (/ls1 [text]);
- "/linkshell2 [text]" (/ls2 [text]);
- "/linkshell3 [text]" (/ls3 [text]);
- etc.

I also agree with this topic,

I'm not sure if this was suggested already, but whatever they are including with the companies, if they can include the organization of linkshells along with it(Activities and benefits) that would help, it would certainly add more life to the floating chatroom it currently is.

I also agree with everything else + this. I often am crafting and want to reply to someone in my other LS, but cant, then feel guilty about coming across as rude, finishing craft fast, botching it...Ok, not really, but it still would be very nice to change chats while being busy crafting.^^

I would really like to see the capacity of shells increase or be done away with altogether. I was on a very large social linkshell on 11. The linkshell was 5 years old and you would be suprised how many people you can invite in that time span. Many of the members would leave the game for extended periods of time because of work (TDY's), needing a break from the game, or financial reasons. They liked the fact that even if they left for a long time when they returned they would always have a linkshell. It was comforting to know they can always come back to play with friends.

[Larther]

Absolutely agree. The linkshell should not be limited to the number of members, just like in 11. I also agree with all the other suggestions in the beginning of the thread. Improvements need to be made.

id like to +1 all of these points. I created a LS that has grown pretty decent and find it a complete NUISANCE to not be
able to manage it as i see fit...and spending ANIMA to do some of these tasks are annoying.

also...is th LS member limit 128? cause if so...i think im about to be in the "have to remake and add " group.
im @ around 124 people right now with a good...id say 60 steady players in different cities....if the 128 players cap is true....
sigh....id REALLY hate to remake.
