Beyond Linkshell - Phoenix Server

[Therin]

Welcome)

Beyond is a newly-formed end-game/HNM linkshell on the Phoenix server established fairly recently from a core group of close friends. Each and every one of us is dedicated to building a strong linkshell capable of contending with the more renowned ones already out there.

Website: http://www.beyond-phoenix.org/

Policies and Schedule)

We have a unique attendance system as well as a completely transparent bank payout system which has absolutely zero room for accounting error. At the end of every calendar month, active members who reach a cetain attendance tier are given equal slices of what the linkshell bank has accumulated over the past month. We also have a higher, bonus tier for additional payouts (see the rules thread linked below for more information).

Our attendance system does not mandate every event. Only in specific cases are events deemed mandatory, and even then, we are lenient - we feel that it isn't necessary to force members to come to every event. Instead, a member's rewards are determined directly by his attendance.

This means that you can expect your reward from the linkshell to increase directly in proportion to what you put in. Our attendance is re-evaluated monthly and the tiers are as follows: 50% attendance grants the eligibility to lot items on your Wishlist. 70% attendance is the cutoff for guild payout. 90% attendance is the bonus tier for even more gil.

You'll recognize a number of names from BG forums on our roster. This is because we've reached across a number of servers for our founding members. We strongly encourage applications from server transfers, as we believe that no one should be limited by the boundaries that being a server transfer can sometimes impose. We will do background checks on every transferring applicant, however.

Our schedule is early EST-based. However, we are fully willing to implement more scheduled events in a different time-frame to support GMT/EU/JP members if the need arises. Do not let your timezone keep you from applying - remember that HNMs have no schedule. Already we have a number of members and Officers capable of being online during GMT/EU/JP primetimes and are willing to build from this foundation.

Linkshell sanctioned events are as follows:

Dynamis (as Horizon - optional)
Limbus (optional)
Salvage (optional)
Sky farming/Kirin
Sea farming/Jailers
ZNMs
Ground Kings (Fafnir, Behemoth, Aspidochelone)
World-spawn HNMs (Tiamat, Cerberus, Khimaira, Vrtra)
WoTG HNMs (Dark Ixion, Sandworm)
Battlefield HNMs (Ouryu, Bahamut, KS99s)

As you can see, we have a slew of things to do. Event slots are allotted to 6 out of 7 days in a week, but not every week will events be scheduled on each day. We've allotted extra event days in the case that HNM windows coincide and force us to cancel events. Basically, there is almost always something to do.

Rules/Schedule (including loot distribution): Rules and Policies

Recruitment)

We are currently recruiting almost any job. We prefer applicants to be at least somewhat experienced in the various fields of end-game content as well as have access to Sky/Sea. Multiple level 75 jobs is a huge plus, but not a necessity in every case (it depends on which 75 jobs you actually have). You could say that one of our mottos is quality over quantity, and that applies both to singular applicants and the linkshell as a whole - we're not afraid to engage an HNM with 6-9 members if doing so becomes necessary.

Phoenix Server)

Overall, Phoenix is a fairly high-populated server full of helpful people. A transfer to Phoenix can always find groups to do things with, even if it means replying to shouts in Whitegate. Even in the event that Beyond isn't doing events, and no HNMs are near spawning, residents of Phoenix can find numerous things to do with only a little effort. I've personally been on three servers now, and I can definitely say that Phoenix has the most easy-going atmosphere that I've encountered. There are numerous Nyzul Isle, Dynamis, Limbus, and Salvage (noting these specifically since they are all optional within Beyond) linkshells and groups that run daily with much success. Also, a Phoenix resident can almost always find an empty merit camp or group with which to do missions or BCNMs. In my experience, Phoenix has always been very welcoming to new transfers.

Dynamis)

Beyond's Dynamis chapter, known as Horizon, is also looking to recruit about 6-8 or more dedicated members. Any jobs may apply (our Dynamis applications aren't as strenuous as our end-game applications). We run once or twice weekly, on Tuesdays (7:00 PM EST) and Saturdays (2:00 PM EST). The runs are sponsored, so entry fees are not required, and items such as Wootz Ore are free-drop so that you can make money while attending. Any interest in Dynamis can be directed to me or Leylana (in-game). Dynamis Applications

Conclusion)

As a member of Beyond, you can expect to find a strong core of members willing to support you and assist you with anything that you may need. Our primary focus is to provide a friendly and hassle-free atmosphere in which to see the success of our linkshell-mates. The beauty of our system is that each attending member can walk away happy with their monthly gil payout, even if items on their Wishlist didn't drop, or they weren't able to make it when they did.

The Beyond Officers think that this is your opportunity to get in on something big. In the next few months, as a member of our brand new end-game linkshell, you'll be able to experience why end-game is intense, rewarding, and exhilarating.

Any additional questions can be posted here, or PMed to one of our Officers either on BG or on our forums (link posted above).

Thank you for your interest in our establishment, and we hope to see you on Phoenix, in-game, soon enough.

Err PW? I think we have 1/3 PW trigger or something. ZNM is the only thing we dont care about, no time for that X.x And we would never team up for anything with anyone. Never did that in the 4 years this LS exist and will never do that. Thats against our proud :D

Yup and AV was not killed on Phoenix that week

Hmmm.... you say this, but that bazaar page on your website certainly looks like a very serious statement of intent. Only time will tell of course.

[Niki]

I dont know why you would put up a Bazaar like that before you even know how your member base looks or before you even have claimed a single thing >_> For me it would look like the leader got the items they needed and are now selling all those stuff to fund their relics, but to each his own I guess. Its definately a well written recruitment post and I'm curious how the LS will act later on.

I don't think claiming necessarily has anything to do with it, for the bazaar, seeing as how 90% of our offers for buying items so far have come from Sky. Also, we're not selling any items that people have marked on their wishlists, only those that no member is interested in. Finally, how would selling items fund a leader's relic moreso than anyone else when he's getting the same cut as the average joe?

In other news, this was made by Selphiie, an LS member:

Your bazaar says you are selling everything and I doubt every member in your shell has everything or doesn't want anything.
And you cant deny that those people who are decked out on equip profit more of selling the stuff than those that need it. Getting a 1m cut of the LS bank is nice no doubt, but not if you can't lot an e.body for that. Then again I made that statement based on your bazaar that says you sell everything. If you only sell that stuff if nobody in the LS needs it thats a different thing.

[Therin]

Right, which is the case here. You'd have to be a huge douche to sell an E.Body or Hauteclaire, or other highly valuable item when there's still people IN the linkshell who need it. However, there's nothing wrong with getting a list of who is interested in buying an item before you're actually capable of selling it.

Oh we will camp kings roz and otherwise, but we are not under the false hood of some of the newer shells like ones who tried to run off you/demo/poisoned/etc. We made a page to get offers before hand.

I have always started any group that intends to at one point sell gear wth a bazaar. It allows you to make a selling que while attracting attention to your linkshell. We have extremely strict rules about selling gear it must not be wanted by members and under no circumstance be sold before members. I left my last linkshell because of the sell first attitude and with there being other issues involving things you speak of. Our bank is completely open to all members. My history of my groups I lead with selling intent from limbus/salvage gear, stands well for my members over buyers. I am more willing to lose a dozen buyers to keep one member.

[Niki]

No, I'm definately not. If you have 270+ HQ kills under your belt you dont care about comp. You will get your claims anyway.

.Yeah thats fine and makes sense. Just couldnt see that from just checking your bazaar site.

Relooking at it I saw what you meant, and will be editing it for clarity thank you for your input niki.

[Therin]

I'm personally looking forward to seeing you guys on the field, Niki. We'll certainly be doing our best to keep it professional, so hopefully it'll be a pleasant experience for everyone - as much as competitive HNMs can be, at least.

[S N K]

Good luck on the LS Therin. I might drop by on a mule and say hi.
