You'll see a lot of RP linkshells popping up, simply because you can have multiple linkshells, but you can only join one free company.
I actually was wondering about this and I'm glad you reminded me. Do you know what the general consensus is on former Linkshells becoming Free Companies?
I feel like being in a Free Company kind of helps solidify the idea that you're in a group of like-minded RPers working toward a mutual goal, (especially for former shells that see themselves as a company, militia or establishment) but my concern is that there are quite a few Linkshells out there that look interesting, and depending on the character, someone could easily fit into multiple shells.Â
Do you know if Linkshell leaders plan on getting more serious and becoming Free Companies, or if, in an effort to convenience the community, are staying as shells so that members can join multiple groups?
