Now, I remember awhile back this had actually been attempted, but it was at a time when the game's population was still in a nose dive and things died out really quickly because of both the lack of Grand Company related content and actual players. Not to mention the concept alone doesn't really give them a strong footing for survival, being a secondary linkpearl - but I like to think they might work out as our community continues to grow bigger and bigger as 2.0 draws near.
Obviously it wouldn't be for everyone, or for those who would find it a waste of a linkshell slot - but I think it would be neat to have an IC pearl for each of the three Grand Companies. I'm positive the Grand Companies would have linkpearls in use. Bottom line, the pearls would have no "leadership" (though I suppose a player's ranking within their respective company might warrant sir's and/or ma'ams
), and they could exist solely as a means for roleplayers to RP out their grand company affiliation with other members that they might not normally RP with under such circumstances. Might be a fun way to find other roleplayers from your company to do Caravans with, or to do dungeons / hunt down NMs for seals, or crafting and gathering supplies and provisions, all while in-character.
Just thought I'd throw the idea out on the table. The more opportunities for various types of roleplay, the better, right?
