Just got back into playing after the update! Any social linkshells around? I hate playing alone :/ I get sad and anxious and start killing weak rabbits for no reason. It's terrible.
I am currently on a great Linkshell with some very fun and helpful people. We play together pretty much nightly and have a lot of laughs while doing leves and while we are crafting.
I can't remember the name of it for some reason.
However, the characters Dior Digs and Willshire Mania both can give you pearls.
There is 30+ people on the shell and usually at leave 10 interchanging active players at any given time.
