Has anyone else sat down and wrote something they think is in their best handwriting ro native language only to later read what you wrote and find out it didn't make sense?
Well, I did. I should have used better English.
Starting clans before a game is even out is a commendable act. It means that some players are so devoted to the game that they want to strt existing in the world before they even see it (compliment!). I guess I should confess that I want to dive head first into the world of Final Fantasy 11 without thinking. I'm so excited about the game that I want to be clan leader of my very own clan right now - at this VERY moment. I want to so badly to start playing my role in the game. I want to be part of the game's fantasy as soon as I can.
Here's where my beef comes in: my fellow future clam members I recruited off the web will most likely be assigned to another server from me at the beginning of the game. And I just know beyond a shadow of a doubt that my once fellow clans members will have already joined another clan by the time we're all reunited - IF we see each other again. That's what I meant by players being fickle. The very first time another player comes along asking them to join a clan different from mine - they'll jump ship and join the new clan. Of course if I had been kind and curteous and trustworthy then maybe there's a great chance they'd hunt me down and join back up with me. IF they were as devoted to the clan as I was.
In my opinion, the best way to recruit for a clan is to wait until I'm actually in the game and have been assigned a server my character starts from. That way I don't have to worry about culling my fellow clans members from far and distant servers. I can just gain the trust and friendship from players near me and in the same towns as I. And start up a clan from there.
I applaud players who want to form clans before a game is even released. I'm glad to see players as devout as I am twords Final Fantasy 11.
But people can be fickle! :p But I love you ALL!
