The Vanguard [FC] is recruiting!

[ShindoKokoro]

Question about your FC. How many members do you plan on your FC to have?

Keep in mind I'm brand new, but during Beta Phase 4 I saw we had around 12 or so on during peak hours. I think our max at the time was 20, but I think it'll be more than that. Like I said, I'm new though, so don't take that in stone. I'll direct one of the officers back in to give you a more accurate answer.

Thanks, Shindo! I'd greatly appreciate that!

Question about your FC. How many members do you plan on your FC to have?

While we are currently trying to recruit a decent number of players for the release of the game, we do not plan to be a massive FC, unless it just happens. The Vanguard has always placed an emphasis on the quality of our members over the quantity. We feel that it is more important to have a comfortable sized, closely connected community as opposed to a huge loosely connected one.

As for how many members we will have at launch, it is difficult to say at this point in time as we are unsure how many of our 1.0 members will be returning after such a long break. As a rough estimate I am currently expecting about 30-50 members at launch.

I hope that answers your question. If there is anything else you are curious about feel free to ask.

I completely agree with you on quality over quantity. I have another question. One of your rules against "exploits" was power leveling. What exactly do you mean? Ex. me helping a lwr lvl friend lvl faster but killing the mobs for him. Please explain.
Thanks!

I think it just applies to talking about powerleveling in /fc, there's no actual rule against doing it, just that some people can be vocally opposed to it, so best not to talk about it. Helps keep the FC free from drama.

Awesome. You can sign up here for right now. Once early access begins tomorrow, you can look for one of our members to send you a formal invite. Good people to look for are Nazura Azure, Ephemeral Nights, or Isra Asandri

Power leveling refers to having a high level player kill large number of enemies for a low level player in order to get them experience while they do nothing. Doing this often uses exploits of the party system and other in-game systems.

This does not refer to just helping out a lower level player, especially with the level sync system in place.

The main purpose of the rule is that it should not be discussed or solicited in free company chat as a large portion of the FFXIV community has strong opinions on this topic.

However, with the changes in 2.0 most leveling is done through quests and dungeons so I feel that power leveling may no longer be a point of contention for the community.
