- To join a Link Shell a character needs to be given an item by the owner, or a designated member, of the Link Shell.
- This item could be said to be a magical shell that is attuned to the person it is given to so only their voice activates it.
- When you talk into the shell the words can be heard coming from every other shell, and vice versa you can hear from your shell whatever is said into any of the other shells
Okay, a bit of lore on the Linkshells for you both.
The linkshells ARE physical objects which produce linkpearls that are tuned with others of their kind.
This enables those who possess these linkpearls to communicate over long distances (mind that linkpearls are only attuned to one another if they were created by the same linkshell).
ARR has sadly removed the initial quest where the function of a linkpearl is demonstrated by the inn keeper in your respective starting city, by handing your character one and giving the initial story quests through it, while the character is in the field.
There is perhaps no phenomenon which contains so much destructive feeling as moral indignation, which permits envy or to be acted out under the guise of virtue. - Erich Fromm
