[Besaid] EU-based player looking for a linkshell

NicciNO

Hi everyone. Thanks for taking the time to look at my post. I know my post is probably a bit longer than what you normally expect from people seeking a linkshell. But if you're running a linkshell, I kindly ask you to read the whole thing





 First off; I'm looking for a friendly, european linkshell with an active ventrilo, on the Besaid server.



The linkshell doesn't have to be purely european, but with the timezone difference there should be at least quite a few european members!





 About me:



I'm male, 29 years old and currently a student (again) - working on my second bachelor degree.

 

My character's name is Umya Yen. Female Midlander.



My MMO experience consists of a little FFXI and a lot of WoW. I did the former until about level 50, until the latter was released and my friends started playing that. In WoW I did the whole hardcore endgame raiding for a few years (as a leader-figure in one way or another for most of the time), up until I quit prior to the summer of 2009. I just decided that I'd had enough.



I'm a fairly outgoing person, and not afraid to jump in on a conversation on ventrilo. In fact, I consider an active ventrilo server to be a requirement for an enjoyable MMO-experience. I've been playing FFXIV for a week now, and although I did join a linkshell, it is pretty much all american with no ventrilo-activity. So I'm bored. There's one guy to talk to, but he gets on when it's close to my bedtime. Just as a side-note to this; when I joined the linkshell (at that time, size of 8 people), I informed the leader that I was european and that it might not work out for me - which he was cool with. Just putting that out there to avoid the whole "Linkshell-hopper" stigma.



I consider myself to be a fair person. I'm all for helping out linkshell members, but don't expect me to craft gear for free for people who's not contributing themselves. I dispise greed; be it purposely or by happenstance. If you expect others to help you out, and you don't help others in return - sod off. I do not approve of your kind, and I do not believe in handouts. If you want something, you've got to put in the effort yourself as well.



My humor varies a lot. Sometimes it's very crude and direct, while other times it can be subtle. I do try to avoid being mean, but can joke about pretty much everything. And do. I hope you're not a sensitive flower, because I'm thistle! Basically, if I say something that sound rude; it's probably a joke. Or I'm very mad!



Here's an example which I guess describes me a bit more:

If a new guy joins the linkshell, and he starts out by saying "hi guys, thanks for inviting me. Can someone help me out with a Bone Hora?" - I'm going to dislike that person. If on the other hand he starts out with "Wait, what, I've changed my mind - this member-list looks like a who's-who of UCP royalty (United Cerebral Palsy)" - I'm probably going to like that person a lot



I want to play the game "midcore". I enjoy that expression - I think I saw it here on the forum earlier. It's fairly descriptive. I play more than casually. But I don't want to go back to heavy hardcore gaming, as I played WoW previously, either. Currently I'm just trying everything - set on making as much of my own gear as possible. My highest rank is 14 (weaver) and everything but culinary and fishing (soon to be corrected) is at 10 or above.



 I can not be online every day - but I'll play for at least 10 hours a week, that much I feel I can guarantee. As long as I'm not on vacation, on a trip for work, or dead, that is.

About you:



Much of what I require from you is already stated, or semi-stated in the above. But I'll reiterate quickly: There has to be a good european member-base in the linkshell. A ventrilo server available to its members. Members who actually log onto the ventrilo and talk. A friendly environment where people both receive and provide help. And that's pretty much it I guess.





Do you fancy your linkshell a good home for me? Or perhaps you'd like some additional information? Please do ask - I'm not afraid to type, as I guess you can see. In my eyes TLDR means "thinking makes my brain hurt".



Hope to hear from you!
