Hi and welcome to the game!
Linkshells:
PVE: You can have up to 8 of these. You can either make one in an existing city to invite people to, or others can invite you. One can be invited to a linkshell by either selecting the given player character or by using the Player Search. (It'll give a list)
RP: At least within the scope of the RPC, linkshells come in about 3 varieties:
Free Companies:
PVE: Free Companies are basically guilds of players. They can be used for IC or OOC reasons, and high-ranking ones have the option to get houses.
RP: Some Free Companies are actual organizations in-game.Â
Game-Usage: FCs will give you anothe chat option with /fc. One can be invited the same way as a linkshell.
Fun Note: you can find RP-related Linkshells and Free Companies in the section above. Only the active ones are listed.
With the recent 2.5 patch out as of Tuesday, most players on the server are probably running around doing content, including a decent chunk of the RPers. Commonly populated places for RP may act a little differently than usual.
If you've got any questions about the game, how to use some of the game features, RP or how to use RPC's awesome features, ask away here! A lot of us live on the forums and can likely answer it.
Lemme add an older post with some in-game chat commands commonly used with RP.

RP: At least within the scope of the RPC, linkshells come in about 3 varieties:
- RP Linkshells that are In-Character
- General Linkshells (OOC chat)
- Linkshells with some other particular focus: Like getting into dungeons, hunts, raids, etc.
