to be a COP? Linkshell - Casual Online PlayerS (COPS) is a new fun & social LS that was made for those people who:
1)Don't have a lot of time to play each day.
2)Don't want/need the pressure to perform to satisfy other members of an LS.
3)Understand that EVERYONE, at some point, was new to MMO's.
4)Enjoy playing just to play and/or make new friends.

When I started playing FFXI again, there were some really good people (Varmuty, Catdaddy, Hardwood, Kodiakdell, Athibant and many more) who helped and welcomed me as I had to re-learn the world of Vana'diel. I can't really thank them enough. Instead I decided to form my own LS that would not only help each other, but basically anyone who might ask. And the more I help others, the more I notice that others help right back. "Pay it forward" would be the motto for the LS, if we had one. LOL

The only "rule" I have is don't be mean to someone first.

I started playing FFXI when it first came out and played until right before Treasures came out. I admit I am a bit "newbish" on some the changes that have occurred between then and now. But I do learn very fast. As for experience in MMO's, I started playing EQ July 2, 2001. I have also played EQ2, SWG, WoW, LotRO and a few of the free ones as well like Hero and Florensia. In EQ I had a guild that went to 100 members in about 3 weeks, and 2 weeks later was over 200 strong. It was based on the same principles that COPS is.

So whether or not you want to join, if you ever need help with anything, feel free to send me a /tell and I'll see what I can do.

(Update) I work M-F 7a-3:30pm Central US Time. I usually pop-in for just a few minutes (5:30a-6a) before I leave for work. I'm in game from about 5p-9p M-Th, 5p-?? F, and ??? Sat-Sun. When I'm in game, I'm on the LS.

I am unsure of our actual number of members. Some only come on the LS when they need help, others I haven't seen on it in a while. We do have a core of about 5-6 ppl who, when they're in game, are on the LS. And because I keep getting asked: Yes, we are still recruiting members.

I'm banned from 13 states for carrying a deadly weapon.

The funny part is: I don't actually carry any weapons on me.

This does indeed make no sense. I approve.

Hey Klif, your LS sounds perfect for me.....if I actually re-join.

I'm a former player myself who is going through a warm fuzzy nostalgic period where I am longing for the enjoyment I experienced during the countless hours spent playing FFXI.

I'm a bit lazy as far as a player goes, in that once I got to lvl 59, I just lost the urge to grind further and experience more of the game. Instead, I liked to stick to what I knew, and started leveling other jobs. The final couple months of my previous playing time was spent basically assisting strangers, or wandering out into the Dunes or Qufim to PL strangers. Basically, I like to be of assistance.

If I do indeed re-instate myself in the next few days, I will look you up and ask for a pearl.

Take care!

I think that's great, seems a lot of people don't quite have the patience for new players. :)

You are absolutely right. And what I don't understand about that is the fact that they were new at some point also, and the odds are that someone helped them out when they asked.

Now with my overall MMO experiences, I can jump into new MMO's and be up and running pretty fast. But personally I prefer to play MMO's for the reason they were created...Mutli-players. "Massive(ly) Multi-player Online Role Playing Game's" (MMORPGs) were started to bring a LOT of people together who would enjoy playing as a team, or at least in a team based environment. They were made to meet new people from all over the world and form a sort of commmunity in a fun and competetive way.

Anyways I will look for you in game and see if there is anything I can do to help you out.

I just started playing again. I've got RDM to 70 and just unlocked all but 4 jobs. I'm happy to help out with any missions or quests are needed when I'm online which would usually be after 10pm pacific time.
I'm hoping to find a linkshell of people who play at the same time as me and know how to use the net to keep in touch outside of the game.
