Brief update of our affairs (17 June, 2015)
At Crystalline's core there are die-hard RPers, gamers and a rotten egg-headed lallafel. Our central goals are to maintain a believable and consistent continuity that changes with the ebb and flow of the members' stories as well as with Eorzea's story itself. We've been around for ages and there's no sight to our demise. Crystalline: Mercenaries with Morals.

As I am still terrible about writing anything formal for this, I'll simply copy-paste what my most resent admin post on my company's forums. (Link as my siggy and in the OP of this thread).
So with the expansion drawing ever closer, there's a few things I can think of going to affect us as a company both ICly and OOCly. ((Also to totally make it look like I'm a good leader by posting frequent updates on stuff!))
We'll start with the OOC side:
OMFG! New jobs/quests/levels/everything!
The bulk of us, no doubt, will be grinding and exploring all that the northlands have to show.
Some of us have talked about leveling together -- which I hope to do 100% of my leveling with friends in any matter of party configurations.
We're going to keep the EXP FC buff up 24/7 as well as probably the company seal generation bonus up or some other thing.. we're under 200k seals so ideally we'd like to be making more than the cost to keep the buffs up everyday. *cracks whip* Get to work!
There's probably going to be a rather strong dip in RP but I personally will try to make up slack for those that aren't able to experience the xp right off the bat or for those that aren't going to rush things! (I being one of those non-rushers aside from omfg DRK getting)
Guys! Let's level everything together forever! Wooo!
Let's look at the IC side:
A good number of plots will start/explode upon access northward.
John and Cartie are venturing north
John's reason: He just wants to go! Dat adventurer
Cartie's prob gonna pick up some airship designing and stuff, also get more DRKly and whatnot.
The airship bit is pretty much going to start our FC-group airship building I think!
Prob going to end up dragging other characters along.. no set plot, just gonna go and.. well.. adventure.... aka: If you're up north and in trouble, throw up the bat signal call for JJ!
Eva's probably going to have some hardcore soulsearching going on cuz daddy was from Ishgard. Also she's deathly afraid of heights.
Some folks have no immediate business northward or aren't adventurers, which is cool!
Down the line, Crystalline will start getting work from the northlands...
Alex asked his father (JJ!!) to pass along the lay of things up there.. what factions are trustworthy and whatnot.. so expect that to take some time at least on my end!
It's good that not everyone suddenly has a plot northward... there will be reason enough for any active member to go there for work if not for their own reasons! Please look forward to it~
So those are some of the high points...
That being said, Crystalline is still open to recruitment but do understand that things will get hellacious when the expansion hits! Much hype! Much excite!
