Hi guys, I returned to the game today after a lengthy absence, and two things immediately struck me. Firstly none of my old friends still play, and secondly my server is now the proverbial 'ghost town', there were a little over 400 players online when I logged in this morning.

I was wondering if there were still any decent sized and pretty active social LS's out there? As I am considering transferring to a new server. I am a casual player nowadays, with no interest in EG content, I just miss the good old banter of chatty LS.

Are they active? I have collected a couple on Bahamut from the new pearl NPCs, but despite having members nobody ever speaks, they are so quite (and dull....)!

I run a very active social LS on Sylph that does eventy stuff when we're in the mood. It's probably the biggest English speaking LSs on the server.

They were all talking, whether asking questions or talking about the good ole days. You won't be disappointed at Asura. I came from Bahamut as well.

Or join jeanpaul shell. A very respected individual here.

Thanks guys, I may look into the world transfer this evening when I get home, and once I have decided on a server maybe PM one of you if that is all right.

From my experience its voicechat that is used in those shells.

Before server transfering i would advise you to check the features that were implemented like the possibility of having 2 LS at same time, and the Linkshell Concierge, that can hold some pearls for anyone to grab and equip.

Each Linkshell Concierge in theory hold a category of LS (for example, endgame, social). I sugest you to check all the options available, and try typing the LS name in FFXIAH "Linkshell Search". If you can see at least 10 names, there is a good possibilty its a stablished shell.

About activity, i think that depends a lot on leader or leaders, so its a hit or miss situation.

There are active social ls everywhere,but most of the casual players don't read nor post on FFXIAH.com. You may want to try yell for one see if anyone replies.

Personally I think it's kinda waste of money to transfer FOR social LS. You may want to transfer for active shout groups, aeonic LS, close friends since they don't exist on every server. But social LS are pretty common if you just check people and ask for a pearl.
