So, lets try to raise 6600 gil so we can start a linkshell 
If you have SPARE CASH (and by spare cash, I mean cash you dont need for weapons/armor/spells) and wish to donate to the linkshell, send it to Seyna's mog house, and post here how much you are sending. Once we hit 6600, I'll buy the linkshell, and name it something cool.
I should have a good portion to donate after I sell these silk threads I have, and some crystals I have up for sale. [ 11-01-2003: Message edited by: Falaanla Marr ]
I just put up a stack of fire crystals and if they sell I'd like to donate some of it for the linkshell.

Well, since the Windurstians are lame, we lost our newbie areas and everything we hunt in.... so we can't gather crystals anymore.
God, still?
I'm on a personal campaign to tell everybody I see about signet. Nobody seems to know, so we just lose our damn newbie zones...ugh.

I fight and fight and fight with signet. Hell, halfway through 7 now.
And the beastmen are STILL ON THE RISE.
wtf.
I was slaughtering things left and right all day yesterday trying to get it back.
The beastmen are on the rise because it's like 'Monsters Killed with Signet VS Kingdom Players Killed' So obviously the newbie deaths are taking their tolls.
Keep in mind that it's for all the surrounding areas totalled up under Region Info. The ruins, inner and outer, as well as Giddeus and both Sarutabarutas.... it's nasty.
Vendors won't be open. It's difficult to reset your home point (Thus longass runs) among other things.
:/
Guess not enough people are getting the signet and if they are they must be dieing an awful lot.
Windhurst is all the american newbs, and what few japanese actually went Taru or Mage. Not a whole lot of mages... AND NOBODY GETS FUCKING SIGNET!
I went around talking to random people this morning asking em. So hey, did you remember to get SIgnet. "WHat? Signet?" Signet, you know for conquest. "Whats conquest? Is wpn? Hey can u by me wpn plz? w3rd." Idiots...
Others thought it was a spell for mages and wanted to know how much it costs.. >_<
Did like, no one read the manual, or hell, read anything having to do with the game, wtf...
At least by comparison, the few americans I found in Bastok and such didn't have a clue either... It's like none of the american players have a clue about what they are even supposed to be doing... Unfortunately Windhurst has most of the Americans.
On top of that, the few American players who have started and DO know whats going on, whine about Windhurst not having anything.. SO what do they do instead of, you know, like HELP Windhurst do anything. They up and leave and join the nations that are already ahead. GET A CLUE! Windhurst doesn't have anything because you wanna whine, and then on top of it, abandon the place instead of trying to help! OMG, die! Some would rather have an easier ride, than deal with the challenge of coming from last...
I'm actually happy being a part of Windhurst. I will eventually travel, but I don't see any need to up and switch nations. [ 11-04-2003: Message edited by: Faelynn LeAndris ]
No body wants to play them much because the other kingdoms have it better?

Batty had this to say about Matthew Broderick:
Uh, guys. We didn't switch nations. We just moved to hunt near the other nations, you know, to spread Windhurst's influence? I'm not part of Bastok or San, Nem isn't part of Bastok or San, nobody is. So don't bitch about us leaving to join other nations, CAUSE WE DIDN'T. Thank you.
My statements were directed at the American newbies I met in Bastok.

Talonus was naked while typing this:
As a note, Eumin (I think he is the owner) created a LS of his own. Take that as you will. *nods*
Actually we were kinda told Fal, Batty, and Nem decided they weren't going to get a Linkshell anytime soon, and that it was being put on the back burner until money wasn't an issue. So most of us expected to not have a linkshell at all for quite a while and/or not be allowed in it anyway. So those with extra cash put in to get one, to make things a lot easier for everyone to keep in communication. (And it has been a GREAT thing to have thus far.) The pearls started getting handed out to the ECers as they logged on, or could get to em. (Linkpearls can't be sent via Delivery Service, they have to be handed out, so you could only get one if you were in the area and could have someone hand you one.) which is how I got mine, and the others got theirs...
Now it turns out, or has been heard, that Fal and all them went ahead and made a linkshell of thier own anyway. Addy was on the early linkshell for a bit, she's not on it anymore, so I assume she switched to whatever the new one is. And hell, the others dont talk to any of the rest of us anymore anyway.
Kinda sad really. Personally I feel a bit snubbed, especially since my main reason for getting the game had to do with who all was playing, otherwise I woulda waited.
So basically there are two linkshells going as far as I know. Most of the ECers on one, and like 5 of the others or so on another. Personally I can't verify any of it, because none of em even talk to me anymore. Like at all.
We have a Linkshell though.. I think most everyone here has gotten a pearl by now. Whether from the first one started, or whatever the next one was.
quote:
From the book of Katrinity, chapter 3, verse 16:
So what, everyone is split up all over the place? ...blah.
Not really... Most of the ECers are on one linkshell, and pretty relative. There are like 4 who are off on their own somewhere. (And a couple people on in invisible mode, who are also in that area.)

Alaan had this to say about Tron:
So I don't get brutally flamed when I(hopefully) start playing tomorrow, is there just some obvious NPC to talk to get Signet cast/whatever on you?
Its one of the guards at the gates of a city or an outpost.
Wanna know what is kinda sad? That you all tried to not include me in the linkshell you made. See my rant thread for more on that, though.
Not one damn person said "Hey fal, we are starting the linkshell now". Why the hell did everyone keep it all hush hush? Why didnt anyone post on the forum that they started it?
Wanna know WHY I dont talk to you or the others anymore? Noone makes the effort to talk to me anymore! Save for Maradon of course, he talks to me nightly. The others? Don't talk to them because of how I was treated. Noone cared to share with me about the linkshell. So, I'm obviously not a friend of theirs, so why should I care about them when they dont care about me?
This is ridiculous. I thought I could call alot of these people friends. Evidently, I was dead wrong. Get your facts straight next time before you bash me, though, Fae.

How.... Falaanla Marr.... uughhhhhh:
Fae: What in the hell made you think you wouldnt be allowed into the linkshell? There were a few select people I planned to not let in. They knew who they were already, and you obviously weren't one of them. Hell, I believe I TOLD you I wanted you to be with me in IRC, I wanted to play with you.Wanna know what is kinda sad?

Actually, I wasn't talking about me when I said I wouldn't be let in. That had nothing to do with me. Although with no one returning my tells, or basically telling me they don't talk much in games, SOME even going invisible so I couldn't talk to em anymore, it kinda makes you wonder.
As far as not talking to you, check your logs, I tried to talk to everyone, I even tried blind tells. Usually stuff like "Hey where you at?" "Seyna we are grouped in canyon you coming?" "What are you doing over there? =(" I tried it with everyone, including Batty and Addy, I even sent Addy several tells because she was in the Linkshell at one point, and I really wondered why she left. The last responce I got from Addy, because I asked her, "Is Batty mad at me, because he never talks to me anymore. He wont return my tells." I joked around a bit about him being anti-social, and last thing I heard from her was, "Well, I don't talk much in games either." And that was it, none of you ever responded to me again.
We also told everyone else about the shell, Addy knew about the shell when she went over there, and we figured you guys would be coming back and you could join it, but no one ever responded to my tells, at all, cept yeah, Maradon, and the others who are now already in it.
Everyone else has also tried to find you guys, everyone else has also asked about you guys, there have been random posts in threads about being upset you guys up an left, and where are you. Bajah even made a thread HERE asking about you guys.
No, none of us that are still hanging around Windhurst became unsocialable. In fact, we all sit around and goof around all night. There is only like 4 or 5 of you not involved, and it's not from us not trying, its from you all not talking to any of us.
Batty wouldn't return my tells, neither would you or Addy. Hence why I felt shunned, specially since you guys were the main draw for joining, also the main reason I left Alexander. I gave up, and kept my mouth shut, figured either I had pissed you off by grouping with you at some point, or whatever, and you would talk to me again when you felt like it. BUT... You cut yourselves off, not the rest of us cutting YOU off. At least not me anyway...
On top of that YOU were the one who said we aren't making a shell right now, , but you decided among the THREE of you, that it wasn't worth it right now. (When it was to the others, and has helped out a great deal.) So when one DOES get made, and the pearls start going out. Even one to Addy who is a part of your group, so I KNOW she had one to tell you guys about when she got over there since you weren't dealing with the rest of us, you went off and made your own anyway.
I shouldnt have been upset over this, you all were doing what I would do.
The reason I said we would be waiting on the linkshell is because I myself didnt have the funding to start it. I was going to have to borrow the funds to start one from a couple others, but they were a bit leary to start it, so I decided to put it off, at least a bit.
I'm really sorry that it had to come to this, though

I didn't see the other thread before I made this post, although I did find it, and made a responce in there as well. Really, I just thought I personally, really screwed up and got everyone pissed off at me, and I didn't know why because they wouldn't talk to me. So first I blamed myself for being a dumbass and making everyone mad somehow. Then I got angry from feeling like I was shunned, and then I just got apathetic.
One good thing though, is if you can't do something yourself, let the others help. Being leader usually means making sacrifices and the best choices, and pooling your resources is a good one. I think another part of the reason this came about was because you did make a post about being slow getting a linkshell, and how we would have one that weekend, and a post was made offering money yo help get it, and your next responce was, "After talking with Nem and Batty, we have decided not to do this, etc etc." Which didn't allow for anyone else to help, and didn't really include anyone else at all.
I dunno.. As far as I can tell the issue is resolved, and everyone is moving on. Personally I don't care what comes, as long as I have a group of my friends somewhere. Shells and stuff are secondary. Better to have the whole group if possible.
I hope to hit 20 pretty soon, and once I do, I'll definitely be all over the world with a chocobo, as I'm sure others will be.
I also have a character over in Windurst, but I'm gonna delete her when I get my other account that I don't have to pay for, and make a monk on that account instead, so I can hang out with all the windurst people.
I honestly shouldnt have expected everyone to join the linkshell. With so many conflicting personalities at EC, it WASNT going to happen

I plan on going exploring soon, I just don't wanna go by myself. So I am not sure where I am gonna be come here soon.
I'm also a scaredy cat, and goblins make me wanna cry. So I dunno. I may be old and grey, still looking at the grass in Windhurst. I think I'm gonna go run around some new zones today though. I protected my level good enough that if I die, I'll be fine. Gives me an excuse for the adrenaline rush.

Can't now, Monica has the slot. And If I take her character out, she'll kick my ass...
I'm fine doing it with Fae, I don't really mind dieing all that much cept for the part where it sets me back farther from everyone else. Some of the most fun I've had was dying. Sometimes it gets freaking hilarious! Like when it was just me and Mik taking on the birds, and ghosts would pop up. Same with Lumiin. I'm usually with those two.
