The only breakdown I see is from us NOT letting people of other races who were on the LS in beta. Of course, since I feel this way, there must also be some people who feel the opposite of me. If we don't let non-mithras on the LS who were on the LS in beta, those who feel like I do might move to an...

However if she wasn't pleased at what happened with a hume in the linkshell then I think that would be good indication...also that comes as a shock to me if that was recent. I wonder who the sackholder was that gave it to him. I don't think it's worth a witch hunt. It was late in beta (a few days b...

I did not get a linksack. My inventory was always full and I never had room to carry pearls around with me. Saw plenty of mithra without an LS I would have loved to give a pearl, and could have had tons of new members, but I never really managed to find a time when I could spare five slots of invent...

Roll Call!

I just realized we need a more formal list of who's going to be there in retail, and how soon. Please reply to this message with:

* When you intend to get retail
* How long you are willing to focus on raising money for world passes and purchasing the LS

Of course, the difference here is that nobody ever said we don't have a right to set our membership criteria, or threatened government intervention. I know, as much as Ancalagon would like to join, he and most others do respect our right to choose our membership criteria. He might be disappointed by...

I've said my bit on this before, but I think any LS with any limiting membership criteria whatsoever may be interpreted as elitist. The only way to absolutely avoid this is to allow everyone. Otherwise, the question when you finally do exclude someone becomes, "Why can he join, and I can't?&quo...

I simply thought sackholders would be the easiest, least disputable candidates, since they already have a demonstrated dedication to the LS, and are the closest we have to "Tigara-blessed" custodians of the linkshell, even though the quest was open to everyone. But if we don't have any her...

Who's In Charge Here?

As much as I hate to raise the question, I mentioned in another thread that we need some representatives, some "leaders" to be the first to receive worldpasses from SavannasSuperstars members if they are not already on the target server, to kickstart our migration. In Tigara's absence, I'm...

I was afraid this ambiguity would come up when someone made an exception to let him join the beta LS. And now I'm gonna say some things which I fear may hurt Ancalagon's feelings, and hurt feelings are at the core of why changing the membership rules is such a touchy issue. For the record, I voted y...

In my typically long-winded manner, this has ended up more like a mini novel, but ah well...so be it: I call this "The Day Vana'diel Stopped" :wink: I got most of my goodbyes out of the way during the group photo on Sunday, so I just logged in sporadically all day, chatting with people I w...

They are indeed. If you read the second posting in the news section for that day, Tycho says so. Been doing searches for him, expecting him to be hanging around with someone with an unimaginative name, but so far, no...everyone I've seen seems to have suitably inventive names.

The Art of Naming a Character

Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade have been playing the beta (late though they are), and have finally done a comic based on their experiences. It made me laugh.

Warning, may not be suitable for those who have to have their naughty language filter turned on in the client. :wink:

Well, I'd like to help if there's something you don't understand. The summarized idea is that people will end up on a bunch of different servers, and a lot of us want to end up on the same server. Therefore, once the "chosen server" is selected, those on other servers who want to get to th...

Allow Non-Mithra Former Members?

The question has been raised about whether people who were Mithra in beta but choose a different race in retail will be allowed to be in the new linkshell. Tigara was fond of keeping the shell democratic, and had put it to an on-LS vote before. The informal agreement was that we wouldn't fairly have...

EDIT: Please Disregard This Plan I will leave it here as a point of historical interest, but I have a better and more automated method of doing the below process which has less room for mistakes and will hopefully get us online faster. See this thread for details. ----------------------------------...
