09-Linkshells


---My Very Own Clan...I Rule All---

Linkshells are, to put it simply, your very own clan. You can chat with all
your linkshell buddies 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. Just remember that each linkpearl takes
up one space in your inventory.

---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. It will cost about
8000 gil. 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 members (if they are playing). 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 unless you
have a Party Invite sign or another various sign next to your head. 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.

---How Did He Get In???---

If a member of the linkshell is annoying you or other members, you are allowed
to kick them out of your linkshell. If you are a leader or sub-leader, then you
have the ability to kick a member out. Just type /kick [player name] and the
linkpearl that they are holding will shatter. Just amke sure you dont kick the
wrong person out. A person can NOT call a GM on you because you kicked them
out. This isn't elementary school, folks.

---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...
