How to Submit an In-Game Application

This is here primarily for reference, as I pretty often get asked "how do I do that" when referring people to the in-game application system for joining a Free Company. S-E's info about this is not easy to find. :p

Players unaffiliated with a free company can now submit an application to join another player's free company.
Submitting an Application
1. Target a member of your desired free company, then select View Company Profile from the subcommand menu.

2. A list of players who have submitted applications to join your free company will appear under MEMBERS on the Applicants tab.

3. Select a name and open the subcommand menu to approve or deny that player's application.
* Only eight pending applications are allowed at any given time. Should the maximum number of applications be reached, you must approve or deny current applications before accepting new ones.

I'm going to copy this to a few places on the forums where recruitment is advertised
