Ok, being both new to ff14:arr and to these boards and FF14:arr RP in general, I am a little confused on the linkshell vs. free company idea.
Now, correct me if I am wrong, but a linkshell is basically a chat channel. That is all it is. You communicate via little devices that look like little shells that you put in your ear. You can be a member of up to 8 different linkshells.Â
Does this mean your linkshell device is attuned to 8 different ones? or do you have to keep putting a different earpiece in?!
So, how is the RP community using these? Are they organizations of like minded individuals? Or a global ooc or IC channel?
On to Free Companies. A Free Company is more like a traditional guild, yes? What makes it truly different from a Linkshell? Where are free companies recruiting? I see a section on the boards for linkshells, and are most Free Companies derived from linkshells?
I have a bunch more questions, but I think this sums up the initial concerns.
