I'm trying to make a decision as to who I want to throw my lot in with in terms of a free company (hereinafter "FC"). RP factors into that decision, but if I can get it elsewhere, I would settle on a FC that wasn't RP-centric but more focused on PvE content - because honestly that's the primary reason I see for wanting to join a FC.
That being said, I'm having a hard time finding RP linkshells that are NOT attached to a FC. So I'm wondering if people in the community could speak to just two questions:
1. Are there many linkshells out there who plan to RP and who plan to not make a corresponding FC?
2. Are there linkshells who are paired with FCs but would welcome people to join ONLY the linkshell?

wtf?!





While we prefer that people join our FC, we're okay with people only joining the LS. Membership in the LS alone can be as a full Wizard or as a Dear Friend (a close ally whose primary allegiance IC lies with another group), depending on RP concerns. In your case, though, it sounds like you'd prefer an OOC FC -- in which case membership as a Wizard would be fine, as the Tower would be your primary affiliation.![[Image: 9796242d-4b2f-4c03-a3c2-c41bc8fa6d9e_zps23daf77e.jpg]](http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn8/Tulcaondo/Final%20Fantasy%20XIV/Forum%20and%20Wiki%20Pics/9796242d-4b2f-4c03-a3c2-c41bc8fa6d9e_zps23daf77e.jpg)
