The return of a BST linkshell to Midgard! - Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community

Yes, back due to popular demand!

After Bjargmundur quit, the Beastmen linkshell (Midgardsormr's former BST linkshell which Bjar created) was dissolved. The shell had been growing stagnant lately, as everyone else had their own shells they stuck with. I contemplated creating a new shell after he quit, but I decided I already had enough shells to begin with.

Then yesterday I got messages from a friend saying that she was wondering if there was still a BST shell around. I told her no, but I'd be happy to start a new one with the interest was there. A few more people messaged me. The troops were rallied and I headed to Sandoria to camp the Linkshell merchant.

The two names I decided on first were taken ("Frontier", and "Homunculus"), and I didn't think everyone would appreciate the name "LOLBST" as much as I did. So I gave it the simple name "Solitude." We can double as an Emo shell if things don't turn out!

I have a few more friends who are interested that I must give pearls to. Meeyutu and Trainable have sacks at the moment as well. If you are a BST on Midgardsormr, or are interested in the BST job, feel free to give me a holler. I can swing by and give you a pearl anytime.

The shell is not limited to career BSTs only. It can be given to dabblers or people interested in hiring out the talents of BSTs as well (BCNM anyone?). It can also be used as a network of help for AF and any quests of the like. I'd like it to flourish into something worthwhile and helpful to those up-and-coming BSTs out there! I also have no signs of quitting this game anytime soon. So we don't have to worry about the Shell disappearing.

Thank you everyone. Hope to see you around~!

I'd like to join up too. I'll have to go find you or a pearl sack holder tomorrow night.

doh, you had me excited until the "...and Trainable have sacks at the moment as well." part.

haha, but oh well I'd still like a pearl, regardless... =]

At the moment I'm leveling around the Canyon and Bubu so I can be found there. If I'm in Windy it's no problem for me to switch to WHM and teleport to give someone a perl.

NOTE: I'm usually on between 6pm-11pm EST on week nights and when I'm not out of town on the weekends (rare) I'm on all the time.

Sounds great. I'll have to find you sometime when I'm on.

Wonderful! I'm writing all your names down, and I should be online tonight after school. Unfortunately I won't be on much this weekend (family in town), so if I don't grab you tonight I'll try to contact one of my sack holders to get into touch with you.

Sackholders ATM are:
Meeyutu
Trainable
Caboose
Tchernobyl

If I'm not around, contact one of them for a pearl.

BST LS are a great idea but they never really work IMO. I have 3 BST only JP LS pearls now and hardly anyone is ever on it. Very rarely to people want to stay in a quiet LS either (ironically while playing BST having a busy LS is almost nice because it can help distract from some of the tedium of soloing), so the LS sort of collapses on itself. The best thing I think you can do with a BST only LS is if you do stuff like schedule activites, so everyone can put on the pearl and check a time (such as a night for BST BCNM40 or in the future BCNM30).
