Reawakening | Asura Social, Returning, and Transfer Linkshell
Leadership: Clinpachi, Taylanichi, Daleterrence, Alymorel, and Aoryu
Founded: January 2017
Website: http://www.reawakeningls.com (We are the last unicorns using guildwork for FFXI)
Discord: http://discord.gg/AP98exk (You must have a pearl and can confirm membership to the linkshell in-game for full discord access)
Twitter: https://twitter.com/Reawakeningls
FFXIAH: http://www.ffxiah.com/linkshell/Asura/Reawakening
Reawakening is a modern social linkshell open to everyone who can abide by our rules! We are looking for everyone and anyone! We welcome veterans with afterglow weapons and new players alike! Even if you are a new server transfer looking for a new home! Come join us!
We are an extremely laid back adult friendly linkshell. We are primarily busy and active during the EST timeframe and weekends, but we have members from all over the world and there are always people online to talk to 24/7.
We do have a second linkshell for events. This linkshell is for our more prepared members who want to do harder content without disturbing the social aspect of our linkshell. This part of the linkshell is NOT open to everyone right away. We look at this as an in-house linkshell to grow into for those interested. Limited space available.
The second linkshell is NOT an inner circle and is ONLY used for event discussion and participation.
You can join our linkshell at any Linkshell Concierge NPC located at the following locations:
Southern San d'Oria (G-10)
Windurst Woods (H-10)
Bastok Markets (F-9)
Ru'Lude Gardens (G-9)
Aht Urghan Whitegate (H-9)
Western Adoulin (H-12)
Eastern Adoulin (G-10)
If there are two or more NPC's standing next to each other, they EACH hold their own stock of pearls. So if one NPC doesn't appear to have any left, check the NPC next to them. We try to keep them stocked with pearls as often as possible unless we are having an overcrowding issue.
If they are out of pearls and you still wish to join, just contact one of the leaders above and we can manually bring you a pearl if needed.
We don't have a lot of crazy rules or policies in our linkshell. A lot of what you are about to read actually revolves around common sense and courtesy. Somehow people lack these things from time to time, so we are forced to spell them out in writing for everybody. If these rules are broken you will be given verbal warnings by leadership. Repeated violations will result in being removed from the linkshell without further notice or explanation. Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the following rules!
Rule #1: Mutual Respect & Controversial TopicsThis linkshell is meant for everybody. Whether you are a new player or an oldest of old, this is your linkshell too. With that being said there is some respect that we all must give each other. Everybody here is going to have different views and opinions. Your opinion in most general cases is just that. Your opinion. While you are free to voice your opinion, you need to have the understanding that not everybody is going to agree with it. You need to be able to respect that. When you argue or push your opinions on others, you are being disrespectful and creating an uncomfortable environment for everyone. It's also because of opinions that we restrict the following conversations:
The following in-depth conversations are not allowed: Religion, Politics, and Sports Rivalry.
Occasional information, news, and jokes may be shared as long as they are tasteful, sympathetic, and in moderation. Large sporting events such as championship or Superbowl games are acceptable conversation with friendly rivalry. Saying things like "Trump failed to keep Daleterrence out of murica'" is fine. Listing actual reasons for disliking Muslims is not alright. Use your common sense and be mindful of others.
Rule #2: Sexual Harassment
This above conversation is real and actually happened. The names of those involved have been removed for privacy. This is a totally unacceptable example of sexual harassment. This was a blind tell from somebody she had never met previously. For as long as you are in this linkshell (we don't even care if it's in a private tell),this will not be tolerated. Acting this way toward somebody out of the blue is disgusting and creepy. If we receive any complaints of this caliber (with enough supporting evidence), you will be promptly removed from the linkshell. Don't do this, you have been warned.
Rule #3: Racism & BigotryRacism and bigotry related to real world culture will not be tolerated in the linkshell at any time for any reason. Everybody in the linkshell deserves to feel comfortable and welcome, regardless of ethnicity or nationality.
Racism is defined as prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
Bigotry is defined as intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.
The following words are considered racial slurs and are not acceptable anytime:
Abie, Armo, Bohunk, Boole, Buffle, Cracker, Camel Jockey, Coolie, Curry-Muncher, Dago, Eyetie, Golliwog, Gook, Groid, Gyppo, Heeb, Hun, Injun, Jap, Jerry, Jigaboo, Lebo, Mooncricket, ***, Nig-nog, ***, Oreo, Paddy, Polack, Prairie ***, Quashie, Raghead, Redskin, Roundeye, Sambo, Sand ***, Seppo, Sheeny, Slanteye, Shyloc, Spade, Spearchucker, Spic, Spook, Tar Baby, and Wetback, Wog, Wop, Wigger, or Whitey
It should be clarified that loose terms such as "My ***" in proper context are not considered racist. In-game race related racism and bigotry are allowed in a joking fashion. This is to be done in tasteful moderation.
Rule #4: Chat Etiquette, Roleplaying, & LoggingPlease understand that we are not a Facebook or Twitter feed. We don't need an update of your every thought or experience (both real life or in the game). We say this for the most extreme of circumstances. We do want to hear about your accomplishments and know about your real life, we just don't need an all day long conversation or reminders (goal updates or weapon progress is fine). We encourage you to create a blog or YouTube channel if you wish to share these constant experiences or thoughts. We will even link them for you publicly, but please keep our game and discord chat clear of useless comments or banter from a single person. If you're the only person talking constantly and nobody replies, it might be a good time to change your chat habits.
Roleplaying is not allowed in the linkshell. Please don't refer to yourself in third person constantly. Keeping up with game lore or tropes is fine (and can even be cool or interesting at times), but please don't pretend to be an actual Galka from Bastok.
All conversations in linkshell chat and on discord are recorded and placed in log files. You assume no privacy in this regard and anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of Moogles. This is done to protect the integrity of all members and events.
Rule #5: Utilizing Resources & Self-HelpWe will always try to help answer your questions or help you solve your quest or mission related problems, however there are some considerations you need to take. Final Fantasy XI is a game so massive and so crammed full of stuff, that the game almost requires you to look some of this information up in order to complete it in a timely fashion. Almost any answer you are seeking can be found on either FFXIclopedia or BGwiki. Please utilize these resources extensively and try to make an effort to be self-sufficient in your quest for glory. Try to ask for help only when you are truly stuck or can't seem to understand the instructions.
Rule #6: Windower & Third Party ToolsThe use of windower is allowed and encouraged through our linkshell as long as you understand the associated risks and community backlash from those who look down on it. We are a pro-windower linkshell. Plugins such as Gearswap and Scoreboard increase the effectiveness of your gameplay and understanding. We respect your right not to use windower, but the open conversation of windower and all plugins are allowed. Please don't argue against windower or request that it not be talked about.
Third party tools are a moral gray area. We don't recommend the use of clipper, fish bots, speed hacks, or claim bots. These are detrimental to your gameplay and can be dangerous to your account. We ask that if you participate in these tools, that you keep it to yourself and not share this information with other players. These tools are strictly forbidden from linkshell conversations and events. We understand they exist, we just don't want to be associated with them.
Rule #7: Dual-boxing & MulesMultiple accounts and characters are allowed in the linkshell, but we ask that pearls be talken of off alts and mules during times where our linkshell is full and people cannot get in. This commonly happens on weekends and we will occasionally make announcements that this is occurring or about to occur. We will always do our best to make room for everyone.
Rule #8: Linkshell ConductThere are many times where you may run into negative experiences with individuals outside of our linkshell. Please remember that every single member is a representation of Reawakening. Please conduct yourself to the best of your ability and set a good example. At no time is any member permitted to start a linkshell rivalry or intentionally give somebody a reason to dislike us as a whole. Please try to solve your differences diplomatically and politely. We understand that this is not always possible, even for leadership.
Rule #9: Relic LoansRelic loans are available to all members who have been in the linkshell and active for at least 90 days. You will be required to equip the weapon for examination and show the currency as proof of readiness. If you are a newer member to the linkshell, you may still request a loan, but collateral of equal value to the loan must be traded as an insurance policy.
All loans are to be returned within 2 hours. Only ask for the loan when you are ready and intend to complete the process right away.
Rule #10: Linkshell Events & BankAll event conversation, questions, and concerns need to be addressed in the secondary event linkshell itself. Discord also has the #eventlobby text channel for the same purpose. We want to ensure that we don't disturb the social aspect of the linkshell or further upset members who aren't ready or able to participate.
In order to be eligible to participate in events with us, there are some unfortunately strict guidelines that must be met. While we don't expect all members to be job mastered with rmea weapons, it's pretty damn close. Windower with gearswap highly requested. Visit our event roster or ask for more details.
The linkshell bank is named Mooglebank and holds any funds earned through events or donated. The bank will be used to purchase various things for members as well as pop items. Any withdraws or purchases from the bank must be approved by no less than 2 leaders. All deposits and withdraws are to be recorded using the linkshell website for public record.
Any high value loose or crafting items worth 500,000g or more will be sent to the linkshell bank for holding. We will determine what to do with high value items at a later time. Items under 500,000g in value are freelot.
Check the linkshell schedule often. Please be prompt and on time to linkshell events you plan on attending. Listen to instruction from leadership and focus. Try to do your research and know what we are getting into. This is a true team effort and we will all be relying on each-other.
Q: It's telling me "There are currently too many people accessing this linkshell group. You cannot access this linkshell"?
A: There is a 64 person limit on linkshells unfortunately. Weekends might get super hectic, so try again randomly and hope that you can get in later. We will do our best to minimize mules and inactive people. We apologize for the trouble this may cause you. If it makes you feel better even the leaders run into this problem. Nobody is safe!
Q: Who are the linkshell leaders?
A: Clinpachi is the leader and shellholder. Taylanichi, Daleterrence, Alymorel, and Aoryu are the current sackholders.
Q: Can I join your linkshell?
A: Unless we are having an overcrowding problem, you should be able to find our pearls on any Linkshell Concierge NPC found in every major city. Feel free to join at your leisure! If there are none and you still really wish to join, reach out to a leader in game.
Q: Can I join the event linkshell?
A: We have very strict requirements with a limited amount of space. Inquire with leadership for more details and information.
Q: Can I bring my friends, family, or dissolve my small linkshell into yours?
A: Everybody is welcome! Invite whoever you want along! Keep in mind however that I can't provide linksacks to you or your fellow linkshell members based on principle.
Q: I want to come to Asura, Is it good?
A: This past weekend saw over 1600 players online. You will likely encounter people or shouts you won't enjoy, so utilize your blacklist as needed. It's very busy on Asura for NA players! If you are looking for a JP playerbase you might want to consider Odin.
Q: Does your linkshell use voice chat? Is it required and do I have to talk?
A: We currently have a fully featured Discord server. It's setup with permissions, custom channels, emotes, and a music bot. It's also fully branded and setup specficaly for our linkshell. Discord is not required but highly recommended as many people text chat out of game here while at work or school. It keeps us all connected and in touch. Voice chat is not required and you can just listen in if you like.
Q: How do I join the discord server?
A: All you have to do is click this link to add our discord server. Download the discord client and follow the instructions. It might take a little bit to get used to but Discord is very easy to use. You'll get the hang of it in no time.
Q: I joined the discord but I can't seem to visit other channels or use voice?
A: When any new person joins our discord they have to be manually approved and set as a linkshell member. If your discord name does not match your game name, you need to let us know via the text chat on the #mainlobby text channel (It should default to that). This is a security precaution to prevent spammers or unwelcome guests from screaming into the microphone or interrupting others.
Q: You have a linkshell bank? What is it used for?
A: The linkshell bank is a seperate character on leader's main account named Mooglebank. The purpose of this bank is to store gil and items earned or donated and later distributed as a benefit to all linkshell members. Priority of benefits will be granted to those who participate in the event portion of the linkshell first with the highest attendance.
Q: Does the bank have a record? Is it public?
A: Our bank balance is displayed right on the home page of our website for everybody to see. Clicking on the View Details link will bring you to our gil and item transcripts. Nothing is hidden and everything is public. You should be able to see all deposits and withdraws complete with comments.
Q: Are you Clinpachi/Calnus from Siren?
A: Yes I'm from Siren. I came to Asura in 2015 but took a break shortly after burning myself out on a mythic. I'm back now (obviously). It's crazy to see how many other people came from Siren too in recent years. I miss siren sometimes, but I really enjoy being here on Asura.
We've done our very best to lay the foundation for a successful social linkshell experience. A lot of effort has gone into our website and discord, which in turn helps enhance our linkshell presence and accessibility for our members. Many of us communicate on discord while at school or work! Our community is crucial to us and our members matter to us.
We can't claim that this linkshell a paradise for everyone, but we look forward to making it as enjoyable as possible for everyone. We can't do this without you! So please make sure to follow our rules and utilize your resources!
Special thank you to Daleterrence for helping manage and organize the linkshell as well as some of it's resource documents.

Awesome you can find one of the Linkshell Concierge NPC listed above or you can /tell me in game if you would rather I come to you. I'm doing login point and goblin box on mules right this second though so give me a bit if so.

Ok well this is embarrassing lol. The Linkshell is currently full 64/64 online right now. I was just notified that a few people can't put their pearl on.
Linkpearls are still available at the NPC's but you might have an issue getting on during a weekend.
Unbelievable amount of people. Sorry if you get stuck for a bit and are trying to join.

Just a small bump, We are no longer constantly hitting the 64 player cap and usually sit around 30-35 people online. I restocked all the linkshell NPC's last night.
We're starting to branch into casual escha NM's and vagary. Also our discord is starting to gain traction and around 20 people have joined.

I don't envy you if you would have had 64 people that wanted to do Warder of Courage.
The last time I led a large group was when I took 36 people into Legion (2 alliances). That was an interesting, challenging but fun time.
But never again.

The original post above has been extremely revamped and edited with our new theme/layout. We also have a new linkshell website at http://www.reawakeningls.com. We wrote out some actual rules and faqs which can also be found on our new website.
All linkshell concierge NPC's have also been restocked in game, and will be restocked again after the April 10th update.
Feel free to join us in game and on discord! We're still going strong!

been here in this linkshell since the inception in January, have to say if your looking for friendly faces to play final fantasy with, this is a great social environment and very decent activity across different time zones. leaders like clin and dale and aory, and the members them-self are always very helpful / informative / kind to new and old players alike.
I am also myself a returning player from 2013, i made a brand new char in January, decided to try asura and found this linkshell, i am very glad i found this friendly linkshell they have been a great help for me trying to understand all the changes the game went through over the last few years.
By Ulgar 2017-04-13 19:51:02
I've swapped through plenty of new-player friendly, social (yet still active and helpful) linkshells. This is by far the best, and the only one where LS chat doesn't look like something that should belong in a google or bg-wiki searchbar. Intelligent questions and answers, active leadership, helpful players who know how to have fun.

You guys would take in someone who is a returning nub with gear dated like my grandmothers wardrobe? D:
Considering when I transferred to Asura I had sparks gear and a homestead blade, yes! :)
Everyone has to start back again from somewhere lol.

Hello. Clinpachi and Reawakening.
I am an another returning player and it's been only 2weeks ever since I re-activated my SE account or Content ID.
Even though I am focusing on soloing stuffs due to lack of play time considering my real life situation sucha family, work... etc. I would still love to have a social LS. Thought this would be nice if I can ask and get many valuable informations from LS members rather than /shouting around. Also if time and other conditions allowed I might participate in LS events hopefully too(eventually)
My only concern are...
1) my play time will be midnight~3am EST (9pm~midnight PDT)... not sure how many members are online.
2) English is not my primary language and I doubt I can understand or communicate with members unless people use simple sentences. If Reawakening looking for new members who are fluent and good at English, I don't mind.

Hi Silhouette! Welcome back to the game!
We have helpful members on in the social linkshell aspect basically 24/7 from all over the world. There should always be people to talk to (or ask questions to) for the most part.
For the event linkshell we are creating, we haven't fully worked everything out but it's looking like early EST time-frame unfortunately. Most of us are active between 2pm EST and 2am EST roughly. Also our event roster might be temporarily full.
So in short I think we could fulfill the social aspect you might be looking for, but not the event part. Also your language is not a problem, you could probably even ask somebody to rephrase for better understanding if needed.
I hope that helps and you are more than welcome!

For those that looking to join a social semi-event linkshell our URL has changed from what posted in original post. Please visit http://reawakeningls.guildwork.com/ for our new website. We will try to keep pearls on the NPC's, but if they are out feel free to message me, Aoryu, or Kyuros for a pearl.

Reawakening | Asura Social, Returning, and Transfer Linkshell
Leadership: Clinpachi, Taylanichi, Daleterrence, Alymorel, and Aoryu
Founded: January 2017

Reawakening is a modern social linkshell open to everyone who can abide by our rules! We are looking for everyone and anyone! We welcome veterans with afterglow weapons and new players alike! Even if you are a new server transfer looking for a new home! Come join us!
We are an extremely laid back adult friendly linkshell. We are primarily busy and active during the EST timeframe and weekends, but we have members from all over the world and there are always people online to talk to 24/7.
We do have a second linkshell for events. This linkshell is for our more prepared members who want to do harder content without disturbing the social aspect of our linkshell. This part of the linkshell is NOT open to everyone right away. We look at this as an in-house linkshell to grow into for those interested. Limited space available.
The second linkshell is NOT an inner circle and is ONLY used for event discussion and participation.
You can join our linkshell at any Linkshell Concierge NPC located at the following locations:
Southern San d'Oria (G-10)
Windurst Woods (H-10)
Bastok Markets (F-9)
Ru'Lude Gardens (G-9)
Aht Urghan Whitegate (H-9)
Western Adoulin (H-12)
Eastern Adoulin (G-10)
If there are two or more NPC's standing next to each other, they EACH hold their own stock of pearls. So if one NPC doesn't appear to have any left, check the NPC next to them. We try to keep them stocked with pearls as often as possible unless we are having an overcrowding issue.
If they are out of pearls and you still wish to join, just contact one of the leaders above and we can manually bring you a pearl if needed.
We don't have a lot of crazy rules or policies in our linkshell. A lot of what you are about to read actually revolves around common sense and courtesy. Somehow people lack these things from time to time, so we are forced to spell them out in writing for everybody. If these rules are broken you will be given verbal warnings by leadership. Repeated violations will result in being removed from the linkshell without further notice or explanation. Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the following rules!
Rule #1: Mutual Respect & Controversial TopicsThis linkshell is meant for everybody. Whether you are a new player or an oldest of old, this is your linkshell too. With that being said there is some respect that we all must give each other. Everybody here is going to have different views and opinions. Your opinion in most general cases is just that. Your opinion. While you are free to voice your opinion, you need to have the understanding that not everybody is going to agree with it. You need to be able to respect that. When you argue or push your opinions on others, you are being disrespectful and creating an uncomfortable environment for everyone. It's also because of opinions that we restrict the following conversations:
The following in-depth conversations are not allowed: Religion, Politics, and Sports Rivalry.
Occasional information, news, and jokes may be shared as long as they are tasteful, sympathetic, and in moderation. Large sporting events such as championship or Superbowl games are acceptable conversation with friendly rivalry. Saying things like "Trump failed to keep Daleterrence out of murica'" is fine. Listing actual reasons for disliking Muslims is not alright. Use your common sense and be mindful of others.
Rule #2: Sexual Harassment
This above conversation is real and actually happened. The names of those involved have been removed for privacy. This is a totally unacceptable example of sexual harassment. This was a blind tell from somebody she had never met previously. For as long as you are in this linkshell (we don't even care if it's in a private tell),this will not be tolerated. Acting this way toward somebody out of the blue is disgusting and creepy. If we receive any complaints of this caliber (with enough supporting evidence), you will be promptly removed from the linkshell. Don't do this, you have been warned.
Rule #3: Racism & BigotryRacism and bigotry related to real world culture will not be tolerated in the linkshell at any time for any reason. Everybody in the linkshell deserves to feel comfortable and welcome, regardless of ethnicity or nationality.
Racism is defined as prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
Bigotry is defined as intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.
The following words are considered racial slurs and are not acceptable anytime:
Abie, Armo, Bohunk, Boole, Buffle, Cracker, Camel Jockey, Coolie, Curry-Muncher, Dago, Eyetie, Golliwog, Gook, Groid, Gyppo, Heeb, Hun, Injun, Jap, Jerry, Jigaboo, Lebo, Mooncricket, Niglet, Nig-nog, Nigger, Oreo, Paddy, Polack, Prairie Nigger, Quashie, Raghead, Redskin, Roundeye, Sambo, Sand Nigger, Seppo, Sheeny, Slanteye, Shyloc, Spade, Spearchucker, Spic, Spook, Tar Baby, and Wetback, Wog, Wop, Wigger, or Whitey
It should be clarified that loose terms such as "My Nigga" in proper context are not considered racist. In-game race related racism and bigotry are allowed in a joking fashion. This is to be done in tasteful moderation.
Rule #4: Chat Etiquette, Roleplaying, & LoggingPlease understand that we are not a Facebook or Twitter feed. We don't need an update of your every thought or experience (both real life or in the game). We say this for the most extreme of circumstances. We do want to hear about your accomplishments and know about your real life, we just don't need an all day long conversation or reminders (goal updates or weapon progress is fine). We encourage you to create a blog or YouTube channel if you wish to share these constant experiences or thoughts. We will even link them for you publicly, but please keep our game and discord chat clear of useless comments or banter from a single person. If you're the only person talking constantly and nobody replies, it might be a good time to change your chat habits.
Roleplaying is not allowed in the linkshell. Please don't refer to yourself in third person constantly. Keeping up with game lore or tropes is fine (and can even be cool or interesting at times), but please don't pretend to be an actual Galka from Bastok.
All conversations in linkshell chat and on discord are recorded and placed in log files. You assume no privacy in this regard and anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of Moogles. This is done to protect the integrity of all members and events.
Rule #5: Utilizing Resources & Self-HelpWe will always try to help answer your questions or help you solve your quest or mission related problems, however there are some considerations you need to take. Final Fantasy XI is a game so massive and so crammed full of stuff, that the game almost requires you to look some of this information up in order to complete it in a timely fashion. Almost any answer you are seeking can be found on either FFXIclopedia or BGwiki. Please utilize these resources extensively and try to make an effort to be self-sufficient in your quest for glory. Try to ask for help only when you are truly stuck or can't seem to understand the instructions.
Rule #6: Windower & Third Party ToolsThe use of windower is allowed and encouraged through our linkshell as long as you understand the associated risks and community backlash from those who look down on it. We are a pro-windower linkshell. Plugins such as Gearswap and Scoreboard increase the effectiveness of your gameplay and understanding. We respect your right not to use windower, but the open conversation of windower and all plugins are allowed. Please don't argue against windower or request that it not be talked about.
Third party tools are a moral gray area. We don't recommend the use of clipper, fish bots, speed hacks, or claim bots. These are detrimental to your gameplay and can be dangerous to your account. We ask that if you participate in these tools, that you keep it to yourself and not share this information with other players. These tools are strictly forbidden from linkshell conversations and events. We understand they exist, we just don't want to be associated with them.
Rule #7: Dual-boxing & MulesMultiple accounts and characters are allowed in the linkshell, but we ask that pearls be talken of off alts and mules during times where our linkshell is full and people cannot get in. This commonly happens on weekends and we will occasionally make announcements that this is occurring or about to occur. We will always do our best to make room for everyone.
Rule #8: Linkshell ConductThere are many times where you may run into negative experiences with individuals outside of our linkshell. Please remember that every single member is a representation of Reawakening. Please conduct yourself to the best of your ability and set a good example. At no time is any member permitted to start a linkshell rivalry or intentionally give somebody a reason to dislike us as a whole. Please try to solve your differences diplomatically and politely. We understand that this is not always possible, even for leadership.
Rule #9: Relic LoansRelic loans are available to all members who have been in the linkshell and active for at least 90 days. You will be required to equip the weapon for examination and show the currency as proof of readiness. If you are a newer member to the linkshell, you may still request a loan, but collateral of equal value to the loan must be traded as an insurance policy.
All loans are to be returned within 2 hours. Only ask for the loan when you are ready and intend to complete the process right away.
Rule #10: Linkshell Events & BankAll event conversation, questions, and concerns need to be addressed in the secondary event linkshell itself. Discord also has the #eventlobby text channel for the same purpose. We want to ensure that we don't disturb the social aspect of the linkshell or further upset members who aren't ready or able to participate.
In order to be eligible to participate in events with us, there are some unfortunately strict guidelines that must be met. While we don't expect all members to be job mastered with rmea weapons, it's pretty damn close. Windower with gearswap highly requested. Visit our event roster or ask for more details.
The linkshell bank is named Mooglebank and holds any funds earned through events or donated. The bank will be used to purchase various things for members as well as pop items. Any withdraws or purchases from the bank must be approved by no less than 2 leaders. All deposits and withdraws are to be recorded using the linkshell website for public record.
Any high value loose or crafting items worth 500,000g or more will be sent to the linkshell bank for holding. We will determine what to do with high value items at a later time. Items under 500,000g in value are freelot.
Check the linkshell schedule often. Please be prompt and on time to linkshell events you plan on attending. Listen to instruction from leadership and focus. Try to do your research and know what we are getting into. This is a true team effort and we will all be relying on each-other.
Q: It's telling me "There are currently too many people accessing this linkshell group. You cannot access this linkshell"?
A: There is a 64 person limit on linkshells unfortunately. Weekends might get super hectic, so try again randomly and hope that you can get in later. We will do our best to minimize mules and inactive people. We apologize for the trouble this may cause you. If it makes you feel better even the leaders run into this problem. Nobody is safe!
Q: Who are the linkshell leaders?
A: Clinpachi is the leader and shellholder. Taylanichi, Daleterrence, Alymorel, and Aoryu are the current sackholders.
Q: Can I join your linkshell?
A: Unless we are having an overcrowding problem, you should be able to find our pearls on any Linkshell Concierge NPC found in every major city. Feel free to join at your leisure! If there are none and you still really wish to join, reach out to a leader in game.
Q: Can I join the event linkshell?
A: We have very strict requirements with a limited amount of space. Inquire with leadership for more details and information.
Q: Can I bring my friends, family, or dissolve my small linkshell into yours?
A: Everybody is welcome! Invite whoever you want along! Keep in mind however that I can't provide linksacks to you or your fellow linkshell members based on principle.
Q: I want to come to Asura, Is it good?
A: This past weekend saw over 1600 players online. You will likely encounter people or shouts you won't enjoy, so utilize your blacklist as needed. It's very busy on Asura for NA players! If you are looking for a JP playerbase you might want to consider Odin.
Q: Does your linkshell use voice chat? Is it required and do I have to talk?
A: We currently have a fully featured Discord server. It's setup with permissions, custom channels, emotes, and a music bot. It's also fully branded and setup specficaly for our linkshell. Discord is not required but highly recommended as many people text chat out of game here while at work or school. It keeps us all connected and in touch. Voice chat is not required and you can just listen in if you like.
Q: How do I join the discord server?
A: All you have to do is click this link to add our discord server. Download the discord client and follow the instructions. It might take a little bit to get used to but Discord is very easy to use. You'll get the hang of it in no time.
Q: I joined the discord but I can't seem to visit other channels or use voice?
A: When any new person joins our discord they have to be manually approved and set as a linkshell member. If your discord name does not match your game name, you need to let us know via the text chat on the #mainlobby text channel (It should default to that). This is a security precaution to prevent spammers or unwelcome guests from screaming into the microphone or interrupting others.
Q: You have a linkshell bank? What is it used for?
A: The linkshell bank is a seperate character on leader's main account named Mooglebank. The purpose of this bank is to store gil and items earned or donated and later distributed as a benefit to all linkshell members. Priority of benefits will be granted to those who participate in the event portion of the linkshell first with the highest attendance.
Q: Does the bank have a record? Is it public?
A: Our bank balance is displayed right on the home page of our website for everybody to see. Clicking on the View Details link will bring you to our gil and item transcripts. Nothing is hidden and everything is public. You should be able to see all deposits and withdraws complete with comments.
Q: Are you Clinpachi/Calnus from Siren?
A: Yes I'm from Siren. I came to Asura in 2015 but took a break shortly after burning myself out on a mythic. I'm back now (obviously). It's crazy to see how many other people came from Siren too in recent years. I miss siren sometimes, but I really enjoy being here on Asura.
We've done our very best to lay the foundation for a successful social linkshell experience. A lot of effort has gone into our website and discord, which in turn helps enhance our linkshell presence and accessibility for our members. Many of us communicate on discord while at school or work! Our community is crucial to us and our members matter to us.
We can't claim that this linkshell a paradise for everyone, but we look forward to making it as enjoyable as possible for everyone. We can't do this without you! So please make sure to follow our rules and utilize your resources!
Special thank you to Daleterrence for helping manage and organize the linkshell as well as some of it's resource documents.
