Here are the salient details:
Officers will be promoted on a trial basis, 16 officers to start on that trial basis.
Members currently at "officer" status will not lose any privileges they currently have, but their rank will be reduced to Member to avoid confusion. New members will be added at an Initiate rank for 2-4 weeks with limited privileges.
Three new linkshells will be set up: Endgame, PvP, Crafting. At least one officer will be in charge of each linkshell, remaining officers will focus on the FC as a whole
You can be a member of any or all the linkshells, but keep in mind the 128-player limit. If a linkshell is full, new players will be put on a waiting list and inactive players will be removed monthly. Only join linkshells you need to join.
We agreed that private forums are going to be a good idea, members and officers will start investigating possibilities for forum hosting. Feel free to present ideas along those lines.
Vent will go ahead and stay as it is, we have a 100-slot server provided by Apostle. Vent will be required or not for endgame activity according to the individual group's decision. We expect to see groups requiring it and groups not requiring it.
Please let me know if I missed anything. I was counting on this thing to log the chat as well as it did last time, and it failed miserably at doing that. Next time I'll just take notes the old fashioned way (unfortunately the raw XIV chat logs are stored in XML and heavily formatted. I don't really have the time to write something to read them just this second).
