Well, I'm officially playing FF XI Online now (level four rabbit-killing warrior) and I was thinking we should start a GWJ linkshell or at least all join the same one. The only thing is, I don't know how much a linkshell costs although I do know once you buy one you get 64 to hand out.
My experience with other MMORPG's tells me that having a group of people to chat with even when you're soloing goes a long way towards enjoying the game more.
Anyone know how much these things cost?
From a FAQ, though it dose not answer the cost quistion

09-Linkshells
---My Very Own Group...I Rule All---
Linkshells are, to put it simply, your very own group. You can chat with all
your linkshell members at one time and have your own special color. Not much,
but it is very cool having one. You will feel like you are really your own
group and may be recognised as one of the greatest or largest linkshells ever.
Not everyone gets a name like that! Okay, it sounds somewhat corny but when
your are in a linkshell (or the leader of one) then you will get to know and
meet many more people. Maybe even make some new friends you never knew existed.
That is the bueaty of MMORPGs.
---You Can Be In Many---
You can be in as many linkshells as you want. You could have 2+ linkpearls, but
you can only have 1 equipped. Just a minor note. Basically, to put it simply,
you can be part of multiple linkshells.
---How Do I Make One?---
Many people want to make their own linkshells, but it doesn''t always works out.
You can find linkshells at shops. Yes, you have to buy one. You cannot get a
linkshell by questing. When you get one you have to give the linkpearls a
color. Linkpearls are objects that allow you to communicate with all of your
linkshell (if they are playing). Every linkshell on a server has its own color.
You can choose out of the default colors or you own color. When you are walking
around normally you will see the link color to the left of your name. After you
choose a color you can now give out the pearls. Only the people with pearls
will be a part of your linkshell. You can hand out pearls to anyone that you
want to be in your linkshell. You start of with 64 pearls (not including the
one that you have).
If you have a linkshell it is highly recommended that you have your own website
for it. Tell your link members about the website so that you can plan meetings
or events for your linkshell.
---Goodbye---
If you want to get rid of your linkshell then you have the option (if you are
the creater) to break a linkpearl. When you break one then all of the other
members of your linkshell will have no linkshell. If the pressure is getting to
you then why not break it up? You may want to break it up if you are leaving
the game for a while. Whatever your reason is...
I believe they cost around 8000gil. Sounds like a good idea. I can probably contribute a couple thousand, and JohnnyMoJo was tellin me today he was makin quite a bit of money at the auction house, so we should be able to do it.
Is $44 for FFXI at Best Buy the best deal going for FFXI right now?
Also, I may do a poll later about Horizons but I figured I would ask something in this thread since you FFXI guys will be reading it, so....Of you guys playing FFXI, are you going to get Horizons on launch or do you feel FFXI is solid enough to keep you around for a while?
I''m holding out for Horizon''s...
In not a FF freak and the GUI is a big turnoff for me..
I hope everyone playing FF right now decides to try Horizon''s I would like to see us get a regular group there..
It would be my first attempt to return to a MMORPG in several years.
I am willing to try Horizon''s even though I''m not currently playing FFXI.
I will not be getting Horizons unless the beta starts to show me some radically different game is going to emerge from it''s shell. I don''t enjoy trade skills, I don''t enjoy being forced to do them to advance in any meaningful way. I don''t enjoy stupid low level kill a dozen of these to get something you can''t use without trade skills quests. I don''t enjoy the lack of character building (it''s a lot like FFXI IMO). And I hate the fact that you don''t get usable gear out in the field from your slain foes. I don''t care for the typical pill box construction of the world. But there is some time left and there are a good number of things I have not experienced in the world yet so maybe, just maybe it will turn out to be something worth while. In case your wondering my experience''s did not involve handing a or clicking a NDA at any point so I am not to abashed about commenting, but keep in mind those folks who feel differently can''t really express themselves so take my bitter cynical words with that in mind.
I have this cool USB headset that I haven''t had the chance to use. Can we communicate through teamspeak?
The game seems to be bandwidth friendly, so I don''t know why not Lawyeron. As for the linkshell, I am going to buy one soon. They cost 8000 gil, so send whatever gil you can spare to me by delivery and I will apply it to the cost. My character name is Jmojo, and there are couriers near every auction house.
I may try Horizons, so let''s keep this idea in mind after it launches.
Linkshell = 8k...
<Neii takes out his wallet> ...115gil! Ouch...
...um ...Is there a used linkshell that is on sale like 90% off or better!?
It will be a while before I can accumulate that kind of amount! Then again I need to check what is going on with my auctioned stuff. Either way, I''m pulling all my funds to get a new sword... dang, I think I even have my characters soul auctioned in there...
Jmojo,
I sent you 3k gil last night for the linkshell.
I don''t know where you guys are getting all this money, maybe I need to start shaking down some rabbits for spare change.
Do what I do, sit at the castle entrance with a note, ""Kill low level monsters for money... 20Gil min per monster!""
JMJ, I sent you 1000 gil and a new fishing rod - please emote the ""Jmojo throws rock like Opie in Andy Griffith credits scene..."" when you receive it.
Alright. I''ll buy the linkpearl tonight. Anyone that is playing tonight, meet at the South San''doria auction house at 9PM EST tonight and we will begin the festivities.
Linkpearls for everyone!!! Ral, you and Stric''s will be strung on Mardi Gras beads, and you will be expected to show your #$^@ for them.
Okay. It''s been bought. Price has been jacked up though. It cost me 9600 gil to purchase.

9600? Ouch! But come on tell us the important things, like what color it is!!!
Haven''t chosen. But I was thinking the name should be ''GeorgeBushRules'' or ''ElysiumisaTool''.
But that brings up a valid point. What do we want to name it? ''GWJ''? Or should we geek out? Name it something like ''Pheonix Guard''?
Of course, if we do that, we would probably have to go full out role-playing, and wear hose and doublets while we play. Lawyeron, we couldn''t use Teamspeak because we would all be munching on turkey legs that we take from the Renaissance Fair.
Name it something like ''Pheonix Guard''?
I really don''t care, but don''t misspell ""Phoenix"" if that''s your preference
How about Ambiguously Gay Octet [AGO]?
Ok, ok Im jealous because Im not up and running yet!
If it is going to be Phoenix Guard, then we should make it more FF form by calling if Fenix Guard.
I will always have a warm place in my heart for ""Ava Tarati"" =)
Im gonna vote for GWJ as the name.
How about Ambiguously Gay Octet [AGO]?
Now all you need is a theme song and Ambiguously Gay character names like Bruce or somesuch.
I''ve heard that people have been talking about my tool again. I sense some tool envy.

No, I don''t think anybody was commenting on Certis here. Heck no.
Wait I''m confused, how do we meet up?
at 9 PM, go to the S. San Doria Auction House and cluck like a chicken...
Well I definately won''t hop like a rabbit.
