There's a thread with some other linkshell websites that I don't have. If it falls off the front page, here's a link.
Linkshell Websites
-----------------
Thanks for the sticky-ness, I won't let the Phoenix people down! I'll update this header post when I can with the LS name and website link for now. I'll keep them in the order that they are on the thread, so that you can find the detailed post more easily. Please help me and everyone else by keeping this thread clear of extra posts. If you think there should be a correction in one of the linkshell entries, message the person so they can edit their entry (instead of making your own entry). On a related note, if you have a suggestion for the information included in this header post, you can message me. Represent your linkshell on the one and only phoenix sticky!
-----------------
(My original post)
When I glance over the topics on the message board these days, I think a lot of people are trying to find a linkshell that meets their specific needs. There also seem to be a lot of linkshells that people on the outside might have trouble distinguishing between.

Instead of a topic like those we've seen before: "Which is the best linkshell?" I propose that we could have a linkshell master list so that people who are already in a linkshell can reflect on what their linkshell's focus or atmosphere is, ideally in a sort of objective way. I think this would help people find a linkshell that they really click with, and perhaps distinguish between some of the linkshells that are out there.

I don't know if I'd have the kind of time to manage such a project, but I'd be willing to try unless someone wants to take it over. Please leave your feedback, if you think this would be a helpful venture.

Lastly, I hope that this is not redundant. If a thread already exists for this purpose, I apologize. I couldn't find it.

I'll try to give a profile of the linkshell I use the most, TheLightsTemplar, as a template to show what kinds of things I have in mind for an informational linkshell profile.

---Linkshell Profile---
Name: TheLightsTemplar

J/E: English

Focus: Roleplaying using our characters in the Vana'diel world. (We also have out-of-character chat, which we have tried to cut back on but will always happen in any linkshell. We have creative people who just have to let it out!)

Events: Recently, we have had Promyvion runs on Saturday nights but we have gotten together in the past for roleplaying hangout events.

Peak time: East coast mid-evening. It's usually pretty quiet by midnight West coast time.

Age range: middle school-few, high school-some, college-many, post-college-many

Level range: 30-60, generally. There are very few players of a very high level, but several are even below 30. For roleplaying, it can help to be in this range for the familiarity with the world and the storyline.

Nationality, race or job preference: no preference

Last words: The last half of MMORPG is "Role Playing Game", and our goal is to give a creative option apart from the leveling, crafting, questing, and farming 'grinds'.

Sackholders: Aiora, Arieanna, Sandalwood, Vivec, Tamara, Leilani, Lurial, Raelin, Kaliv, Jaenelle, Nyris, Lasarde, Doranville, Hilkiah (there may be a few more)

Website: http://lt.game-host.org/

(To the templar who read this, I tried to be objective! Sorry if you don't quite agree.)

Name
Toxik Avengers

Website
http://www.toxikavengers.com with a link to an off-site forum.

J/E
English, but Japanese and European are welcome. We have members in the Philippines, England and Sweden.

Focus
Friendship and camaraderie, passing around expensive items necessary for quests, linkshell static party, missions and mission/rank help, leveling together (non-static), crafting support (sending extra unneeded recipe items to people who are leveling their crafts).

Events
Weekly static party and irregular meetings. Promyvion missions and BCNM coming soon.

Peak Time
7 pm CT to 11 pm CT. Most members are in the Central and Eastern time zones.

Ages
Approximately 16-42

Levels
Mostly mid-30s through mid-60s, some low level/newer players

Sackholders
Toxik, Smileyface, Nila, Xandro, Knarf, Dragonsoul, Hecktor, Arieanna, Jilan, Huggywuggy, Spotcat, Troz

Requirements
Party with a sackholder. If we like you and you like us, you're in. We prefer (at least mostly) full-time members only. Why join a linkshell if you're not going to be on it?^^

Nationality
The majority of characters are from San d'Oria, but this isn't a necessity.

Last Words
We are a close-knit group that stuck it out through a lean time in the linkshell and came through it tighter and better than before. We are not interested in linkshell drama; we're just a bunch of online friends hanging out and helping each other through the game. We also have several married couples and most of the rest of us are married to non-playing spouses. If you want to have fun in a helpful, friendly, mature linkshell, check us out.

Edited, Sat Apr 16 05:46:09 2005 by GalkaSnarf

Name: littleGamers

J/E: English (I say again, no more swedish or belgian in LS-chat)

Website: www.little-gamers.com

Focus: The linkshell is a fanshell for the littleGamers online-comic.

Peak time: Unknown, both NA, EU and others are in the LS causing us to have people online at most hours.

Age-range: 15-35ish

Level-range: 1-75

Nationality, race or job preference: None.

LS-leader: Mrmadsen who creates the comic (>.<)b

Sackholders: Garkin, Naku, Tillaert, Phoenixfireclaw, Claymoore, Damar and people i forget who will kill me later.

Last words: We are an LS in flux, we always take in new members with the only demand (usually from me) that they read our forums (and naturally enjoy the comic :P) We talk a lot of BS and have a lot of fun.

Name
Orange Sherbert!

Language
English mainly, though we have several players studying Japanese!

Website
http://www.orange-sherbert.org

Focus
The main goal of the LS has always been friendship and helping members get through their various quests and missions, with a noted intent to address issues maturely in a way that will foster a drama-free LS.

Events
In the past, primarily helping with AF, Missions, BCNM, Promyvion, etc. We're currently trying to get weekly ENM runs going and start doing some Garrisons and maybe Expeditionary Forces.

Peak Time
Peak time is around 6pm PST, since we have a pretty even mix of EST and PST players, and some folks inbetween. :)

Age Range
Currently I think the active player base is 20-30, but if you count all of our members who stop by from time to time, it's more like 16-38.

Level Range
20-75. Given that we don't have level requirements on joining, new people still do occasionally join and the lowest is currently around 20. That said, the majority of the LS members are in the 50's to low 60's.

Nation/Job/Race
No nation, job or race preferred. We have repeatedly gone out of our way to level up the appropriate jobs to fill in the gaps when possible. Of course, as a result of that we have a ton of mages but barely any tanks, but that's okay because they are all great people.^^

Active Sackholders
Plusx, Lowbaud, Aimyr, Stollio, Moozie, Curslatr, Artorus, Puruu, Cravy, Chyme, Suji.

Last words
We're an LS that's been around for over a year now, we've been through the ups and downs and we're a family. That said, we're now looking to expand a little and begin to take on more events with the addition of some new enthusiastic and skilled recruits. If this sounds interesting to you, let us know and we can talk about recruitment possibilities!

My name: Stormweaver

LS: Lucky!

http://www.luckyls.com/

Leader's: Selan & Elexa
Sac holders: A lot of us!

Level Ranges: average is 50+

Type: This is a social LS with lots and lots of great people.

History: Lucky began as a 'static' party LS. Eventually, a lot of the static members were also Divinity LS members. At the close of Divinity, many members returned to Lucky. In addition, the majority of Divinity members also flowed into Lucky.

Demographics: People from all over the world! We have high level crafters, many 75 players, but most importantly, I would call this LS Family. This is a very developed LS with many events and people with multiple high level jobs. That said, the group is always willing to help people out.

Personal experience: I was in this LS and we did countless AF runs together (everyone helped me get mine too! never needed to beg), we have done all the Prom missions together, and we have a lot of fun doing it. Zilart missions are never a problem. I have developed many many good friends in this LS.

LS: Family
Requirement: being a cool person and good player. (i hate flamers)
all lvls are welcomed, sackholders are ppl who have
been cool and stuck around!
LS Motto: have fun!
also at http://triforce.inifinitesnake.com

Thanks reih for letting us use your forums!

Events: Events that will fall into planning as more members come in: Garrisons, Promyvions, Static Parties, etc.

We've had 3 or 4 websites... the picture page above was about the most exciting thing going at the time of Nicest's post, but lately we've had a pretty active forum page that Purplenv set up here:

Edit: Hmm... there is apparently a catastrophic bug when you end posts with a URL. This text has been added to prevent the corruption error that occurred 1 day after I made this post.

Name: SecretCollect

Website: http://www.secretcollect.net

J/E: Whatever.

Focus: We've been around almost since the NA PC release, though never a large or well-known linkshell. We're mostly a social linkshell, but we like to help each other out and do various events.

Events: Planning on frequent Ballista matches and Expeditionary Forces(Windurst).

Peak time: Seems to be on Sundays in the morning and afternoon.

Age range: I really don't know. It's a fairly wide range though.

Level range: 1-75

Last words: Have a good day.

For whatever reason, the second link to the TUS website didn't work, hopefully it will this time:

Sorry about that, delete that old second one though, thanks.

Name: versestyle
J/E/S: English players(small amount of them), Japanse (7/11) all of them speak english good.
Focus: Battles or event battles with no high lvls. Example doing the avatars with just lvl 60s. Doing genkai 1 with a party of 6 (50s) and genkai II with 6~12 (55). The goal is to find the talent of the player and ability to communicate and work together without asking for high lvl help.
Events: Next event is zilart 8 party party minimum lvl is 60 max is 65. We do events once a week or email one another.
Time: we email each other and plan around people's jobs.
Age range: 18-24
Level range: any
current member count: (>o<) 11
Last words: we lost our leader and half our former members to hades. We are a recovering LS.

Name: Clan of the Angry Monkey (Sometimes ClanAM)

Website: http://clanam-ff.samhart.com/

J/E: English

Focus: Started out really as a group of friends, still is today, but we do like to help clan members out. We have several great guides on our site including ones for NM hunting, Gardening, and getting your RSE.

Events: Quests, Missions, Garrisons. Soon Promathia missions (we have a severe lack of SMNs)

Peak Time: Varies. Usually evenings from 5pm EST to 1am EST. We have people that play at all different times though.

Ages: Approximately 12 - 45

Levels: Any

Sackholders: Maior, Meretrix, Raytien, Thersities, Drifter, Craigshin, Droopy, and some others.

Requirements: Be invited by one of the sackholders and don't abuse people in the clan (you'll get kicked pretty quickly if you do).

Last Words:

We've been around for over a year now, and we've had some ups and downs. We have plenty of members for lots of different activities, our biggest problem (as is every other LS's I've talked to) is organizing things (in the past, I've been one of the primary ones organizing events... but between my job and my new marriage, I just haven't had the time lately). What we really need are people willing to help organize things like Garrison and Promathia runs.

FWIW, ClanAM has actually been around since 1997-ish. We were originally a clan that played Quake I/II quite a bit. We then moved on to Unreal Tournament. FFXI was our first MMORPG to do as a clan, and slowly (as our members migrated to it) choked off all our FPS playing (which some people really miss :-)

Phoenix Server Hydra Corps
www.hydracorps.org


Dynamis LS

Hours of Operation : Wednesday and Sunday 730P.M.

RE: ChocoboExpress

The shell is basically gone under that name, though a shell we hold still has it in reserve.

It morphed into Seven Moogle Army after a split. The CE part died off and was absorbed into SMA.

When SMA's leadership took a WoW break, the membership decided that a new shell with active leadership was needful and CactuarExpress was formed (Named to honor the old ChocoboExpress) So CE sorta lives on.

Many of the same people are in it as before, and we are always open to new members. Myriads, Desdemon, Nummy, Tetra, Ptoto, and several others can provide a pearl.

Currently we handle most AF missions, key getting, some static party action, Testimony hunting, and the occasional mission. Friendly folks who like to help out. Say hello if you see us!

Myriads - Shell leader.
