Hey what's up Allakhazam Lakshmi ppl's. Well I know there's a thread about LS already but I just wanted this to stand out for a bit. Admin and Mods please feel free to move thread if needed.

Ok to business. A friend of mines started a LS for mainly players on the west coast around lvl 30+ We have around 8 members but only 4 are dedicated to the LS (My friend and I included) Only prob we run into is time zone differences . . . but we're really trying to get a static going so that we can do some LS Notorious Monster hunts and HNM as we get lvl 70+ I'm currently a lvl 31 PLD and my friend is a 34 DRK but he also has a 61SAM 36RNG 48PLD and some other jobs. He taught me all I know so the learning curv kind of passed by fast. I dont want to give his name out due to the fact that he already belongs to a high lvl LS but he always wanted to start his own LS and make it big with friends and ppl that could get along well and help whenever needed. The thing about us is that we're not in a rush to lvl but we just try to have fun and make as many friends online as we can. My friend and I are real life friends from Long Beach CA and most of our 70+ friends are on Ragnorak but being that he's my best bud I joined him in Lakshmi. Being a sack holder just send me a tell or message if your interested in starting a promising static or just being a dedicated LS member. Its really hard to recruit members online because most of the good players that I enjoy PTing with already have a great LS with friends they trust and are familiar with. I'm sorry to keep going on and on so I'll just end with . . . /s See you again!

LS name: TheMovement
LS Leader: (Need to consult him)
LS Sackholders: Takashii (me)
LS Goals: Form a static or two help when needed and have fun
LS Requirments: LVL 30+, dedicated, no childish jokes that may be offending, just be friendly and have some good times and laughs ^^

Well first off congrats on starting your new ls. I was in alot of ls's before and some well known ones at that. But I felt that I was able to bring all my friends to my own LS. The first thing I ran into was that no matter how hard I tried when I frist started my ls was that I had few member in their because like you said they all had their own ls. Well what I started to do was talk to everyone pted with got my name out their as much as I could. Then did open enrollments. For people who are looking for higher lvl jobs. now I have had my ls for about 9 months, and I now have about 50+members and about 35Members that are constant. We do events all the time, constantly helping each other out. I know you are new but start advertising your ls. and bring lost of members in because you may get alot in and a few will stay, some will leave. I think at one point I had over 100 members but out of those 100 members only 40 stayed. So you get the idea. thats one of the best ways to get the dedicted ls members, then for you open enrollment what i did was give sacks to all ls members for one week saying bring your friends into the ls with requirements of what we are looking for. Now you just got more members that way. Then take away the sacks and leave it just to leaders. Well good luck to you, if you need any help in any ways or would like an alliance look me up, or respond to this message. I am currently in an alliance with Benevolance. SO total between our 2 ls we have about 70 memers. Not to shabby I would say!

I will pretty much agree with Ewo on all of this, he has said mostly everything to get going in a New LS, there is really not much for me to say except welcome to Lakshmi and never give up!!!!

Hey Ewo I have a favor to ask. Maybe sometimes Friday October 22nd we can make and alliance to do the crag boss fights for the new expansion. Without a LS I've had a lot of trouble organizing a good allience. The leader of my shell did all 3 bosses but with help from some random LS that needed a few more people . . . lucky him I havent bought the expansion yet not until Wed. Oct. 20th. But all I can say I definatly have is a 30PLD and 30RNG (30 since these quest are capped at 30) but yea maybe we can get something good going. I'm hoping to build good relationships with ppl I meet and help when I can.

well that sounds good to me, I know we have tons of members that need it as well. and we have members who have done it. If you read what i posted about how to beat the bosses it can actually be lots of fun. Its really nice to have a smn, whm, nin tank, war/nin tank and 2 rngers. thats all some of our members use. so if you have people with any of those jobs lvled or are close to lvl 30 I would say get those jobs up. you can actually get a pt of 6 members to the boss with out an alliance, i know this because we did it. It was fun ill tell you that we made great exp on our way up as well so. No problem, I will be on tonight from 6pm est till 11pm est. So if you would like to talk sometime let me know. I know we are doing holla tonight, and mea or dem i forget witch one.. I know for sure holla is being done. just not sure if mea or dem is being done.

i have one linkshell right now that i am in, i'm fairly happy with it, most are "rl" friends from the east coast... but i live on the west coast and as you know the time zones can cause problems...

i would be interested in checking out your group... i am currently working on my whm to 36 so i can move myself around and explore plus i hate paying other ppl... after that i am switching to my blm.38 and that i would like to run with... i am currently working with a rdm.32 (rl friend- if you can call 2 people a static)

i fit into your criteria... although at 28 i still tend to throw out simpson quotes...

but if your interested in having me aboard... please /tell me...

*i like to play!*

One thing i know is a LS does not have to have a great number of players in order to be a successful LS. I had left my first LS awhile ago due to a varity of reasons, not big issues but anyway. Started a LS for a bit with afew friends and we had a great time, there where only 4 of us on there. But we kept ourselfs entertained. Soon two of my friends, who are quit high in level left for an endgame high lvl LS. Cant blame em, as we certainly where not doing god runs or HNMs etc.

I was solo for awile after that. And on a Genkia run organized from another Message Baords I met the people in my current LS. Started by afew RL friends its a small LS, but its a really great LS. Only 5 regualar members, all teh same lvl, and my static. and then there are afew part time players who dont play as often as teh rest of us. Anyway, even if I am the only one logged on I keep it with pride, and respect to the great players who I have had teh chance to meet. And they are fun to play with too.

I guess it helps we do alot of events together like AF, Genkia and EXP. Anyway i *think* i made my point somewhere in here.

Good Luck on your new LS!, and people will come and go, ALOT in the beginning. Just becasue it is small and unestablised
