BG of Rabanastre looking for members.

[Amarok]

BG consists of many of the original OrderOfTheBlueGartr members from FFXI. Sometime in 2005 a large number of us left FFXI for WoW and played that for many years along with several members of Paradise Oblivion, Machina and several other old FFXI linkshells. We've gotten back together for FFXIV and are recruiting to rebuild the LS on the Rabanastre server. Some of the members include Twentytwo(linkshell leader), Liltwin, Litoriceboi, Kuai, Setsuko, Kyline, myself as well as others.

BG is looking for some cool dudes to play video games with us. Post here or make a new topic answering some some basic questions if you wanna play with us. We're on Rabanastre.

FFXIV Name: Sutien Masaomi
Age: 23
Class/Ranks: 24 LNC (undecided on next job to level)
Crafts/Ranks: 27 Armorer, 20 Blacksmith, 22 miner and subs.
MMO Experience: FFXI, LoTRO

I have played FFXI since about the NA launch. I experienced all forms of end game including limbus, dynamis, salvage, HNM, sea, sky, salvage etc. After I quit FFXI I moved onto LoTRO where I experienced their instanced end game content (the level 60 content, I quit before they made the cap 65). I killed a few HNM and did a few armor runs with my guild.

Playtime-
Sunday: whenever
Monday: leave for class at ~5pm and get back around ~9pm
Tuesday: have morning classes
Wednesday: leave for class at ~5pm and get back around ~9pm
Thursday: have morning classes
Friday: whenever
Saturday: whenever

Next semester is all morning classes except for one afternoon class.

Do you plan to stick around for endgame and play a lot? Yes.


What do you want out of the LS? What do you expect from us? Friends, laughs, and a good time. When the time comes I would very much enjoy the end game atmosphere with a group of coordinated players.


List the past 2 guilds/linkshells you were in and why you left.

FFXI: Exodus of Remora. I left when I quit the game.
LoTRO: DigitalBackSpin of Meneldor server. I left when I quit the game.


Did you have a position of authority? If so, explain what you did. In Exodus no, but I would often lead limbus paths and the like. Not in TSS. In DBS I was an officer, but because I jumped into the game late I was just more of a moderator amongst members so their arguments would not get out of hand.


Do you know anyone in the LS? If so, what would they say about you? No.


About yourself: I moved to South Carolina from Jersey a few years back. At present, I am enrolled in college studying Computer Technology. Lately, I have been studying my ass off for the A+ exam to make sure I can take it and pass before the year is up. In spare time I like to ride my motorcycle. I also love beer.

If you need anything else feel free to ask.. I tried registering on your forums, but an admin needs to ok my account.

[Carraway]

Sutien what're your top three beers?

[Sutien]

Guiness
Sam Adams (just tried the winter lager last week.. cannot get enough of it)
Bass

I try new brands all the time though, so the favorites list changes often.

Tuesday: After 6 Pm

Thursday: After 6Pm
Friday: After 6Pm
Saturday: Anytime

Do you plan to stick around for endgame and play a lot? Absolutely, the only reason to play any MMO is to get to endgame and establish your dominance and presence on your server,


What do you want out of the LS? What do you expect from us? Fairness, that's it. In return you will get a 120% effort at all times. All I expect is to be in a LS with an organized system to track member progress.


List the past 2 guilds/linkshells you were in and why you left. Kinzuru, which I am sure you remember, we competeted closely until the breaking of the LS. It splintered into Government and something else; I stayed on with Government which was pale in comparison and fizzled out shortly there after. I started my own LS "ThatGospelSound", it was a small endgame LS that focused on Sea, limbus, and jailers. "TGS" broke shortly after I left the game for good, but I hear all the members got good homes in established LS's.

Did you have a position of authority? If so, explain what you did. Being a founding member of Kinzuru I was allowed to head up the "BigKills" deptartment, mainly coordinating HNM windows, managing party set up, and selling "BK" items and sending out the gil to the proper places. In "TGS" I deligated alot of the responsibilty to 2-3 officers. I focused as the leader in keeping up morale and influencing the direction of our progress.


Do you know anyone in the LS? If so, what would they say about you? Vudoodoodoo, Bratt, Cloude and many others. Hopefully they would at least convey that I was a balanced player. I stayed out of Ls drama, as well as some of the epic Kinzuru/BG forums drama.


About yourself: Even, balanced, and fair. I'm old enough to be able to focus on the big picture vs. the ingame bullshit. I know im on Besaid; but I would be willing to start over on your server for the chance at being BG.

Do you plan to stick around for endgame and play a lot? I intend to take this game more as a marathon than a sprint, I will eventually reach max level and move on to endgame, but as I’ve seen with the progress of FFXI and how FFXIV is evolving, I don’t think I do want to get to endgame too fast. That doesn’t mean I won’t put in quite a few hours online, simply that I’d like for once to actually sit back and enjoy the story. My previous MMOs have been more pvp oriented, and I really miss my first experience of FFXI as a PVE MMO


What do you want out of the LS? What do you expect from us? I expect to be in a friendly LS where I will be able to log on for a few hours and see some funny shit going on in the chat. I’d also like to contribute to saying funny shit in chat. I love to help people and participate in LS events, even if only as an encouragement or rez slave. I also want the LS people to make me learn about the game, since we will eventually discover a lot of data, I expect a good LS to be smart and not just zerg shit for the sake of zerging.

List the past 2 guilds/linkshells you were in and why you left. Aces High (Aion BG guild), was a great load of fun until I got really bored with the game, simply left because of that and no real other reason. Unforgiven (SOTNW), was more or less vice-leader of the best clan on my server for a while, mostly towards raid strategy and organization. Left because of conflicts with the other vices and the leader(which in retrospective were just me looking for a reason to quit the game and ragequitting). I got burnt out since I got very strong very fast and was only concerned about grinding and not really other stuff.

Did you have a position of authority? ^

Do you know anyone in the LS? I don’t think I do, unless ex Aces High members are in there

About yourself: University student in business management, flairbartender on weekends, I’ve been playing MMOs since I was 13 with varying frequency. I’m a stoner, I’m french and I like to have fun, not really there to stomp/steal shit from/piss off anyone, but really to have a solid LS that will be there for the long run and that I can be comfortable in. I know I’m low level, but as with anything, a good motivation will change that rather fast.

MMO Experience: I've played both FFXI and WoW for several years. I also played a 10-day free trial of City of Heroes, but that probably doesn't count.

Playtime-
Right now my schedule is completely open, but I'll be going back to school in January, and I'm not sure what my class schedule will be then. But I'll make sure to organize it in such a way that I'll have plenty of time for FFXIV.

Do you plan to stick around for endgame and play a lot?
Absolutely.

What do you want out of the LS? What do you expect from us?
An LS with awesome people who are fun to talk to and who are good enough to beat the game's harder missions and endgame content (when it gets implemented) so we can all share in the phat lewtz. :3

List the past 2 guilds/linkshells you were in and why you left.
In FFXI I was in an LS called Bastok Storm Brigades on the Hades server. I left after doing a server transfer to Asura because the Hades server was too low in population for my tastes.

Also in FFXI, but on a different character, I was in an LS called the Fishing Guild on the Odin server. I left the LS because it just became too difficult to try to level two different characters, especially since each character was on a different server.

Did you have a position of authority? If so, explain what you did.
No, not really.

Do you know anyone in the LS? If so, what would they say about you?
No, I don't know anyone in BG.

About yourself:
I recently joined the U.S. Army and just finished up all my training about a month ago, and plan on going back to college in January. However, I'll still be playing video games a lot, and I want to get in on endgame in FFXIV cuz' I never really did any endgame stuff in FFXI.

List the past 2 guilds/linkshells you were in and why you left.

Saturday: Anytime

Do you plan to stick around for endgame and play a lot?
Yes, I'm looking forward to endgame.

What do you want out of the LS? What do you expect from us?
I've always felt that half of the reason I enjoyed FFXI so much was because of the linkshells I was in, so I'm wanting to join a group of fun and like minded players interested in getting the most out of FFXIV. I don't have any specific expectations. I'll be coming along for the ride and if you need anything from me hopefully I'll be able to help.

List the past 2 guilds/linkshells you were in and why you left.
The one and only LS I've been a part of in FFXIV was a small crafting focused LS. Unfortunately most of the members have quit over the last few months and there is no one left, it's quite lonely.
In FFXI I was a part of a linkshell called Valor (now called Virtus) on Midgardsormr. During my time in Valor I experienced most of the end game content FFXI had to offer. My quitting of the linkshell coincided with my quitting of FFXI. I came back to FFXI about a year later and created a new character on Leviathan which I got up to 75 on BST and BRD before quitting the game for good in March of this year.

Did you have a position of authority? If so, explain what you did.
No position of authority, I was just a regular old member.

Do you know anyone in the LS? If so, what would they say about you?
I do not know anyone in the linkshell. I did see TwentyTwo running around in Gridania yesterday. We didn't interact in any way, but I felt like I made a pretty good impression.

About yourself: I graduated from university in 2008 with a bachelors degree in Information Systems and I'm currently working full time in Chicago. I've been following FFXIV religiously ever since I heard about it years back and I really want it to succeed. The game is a bit rough around the edges at the moment but if FFXI is any indication FFXIV will keep on getting better and I intend to be there throughout the process. I'm a Jack of all trades at the moment and haven't really focused on any class in particular. I'm open to taking suggestions from the LS if we're short on any specific classes or crafts.

Do you plan to stick around for endgame and play a lot?
Yes, thats all I'm really looking forward to with this game is end game experience, raids, NMs etc. That was the best part of FFXI and will be wanting to do those types of events asap.

What do you want out of the LS? What do you expect from us?
I'm looking for a sense of home I guess, maybe sounds a bit cheesy? But just want to be surrounded by good gamers and advance through the game with people.

List the past 2 guilds/linkshells you were in and why you left.
Was in Cabelas on Ragnarok, left because I quit FFXI when this game came out.
SpikeFlail and Solstice in the prime of my FFXI career. Solstice broke when LS leader left and SF reorganized and booted me (didnt have a lot of play time when I was in that group).

Did you have a position of authority? If so, explain what you did.
No.

Do you know anyone in the LS? If so, what would they say about you?
I dont know to many right now on FFXIV, people I know are still trying to figure out if this game will even do good.

About yourself:
I'm pretty normal, atleast I think so. I just graduated college not to long ago when work in the IT dept. at a plastics company, studying a lot to get certs such as CCNA and MCSA. I like hockey, New England sports teams, and video games. I was just recently married so usually when I'm not gamin' I'm with my wifey.


Anyways I look forward to hearing from someone on my application for the linkshell. Thanks for your consideration.
