bumped beta, those guys in there are getting aggressive with their recruiting.
No kidding, I try to post in the LF LS posts, but it is hard to even get on the first page.Quote:

BTW, Leezil, you and I should coordinate our posts so we don't step on each other's toes. For example, later tonight I was thinking of posting more details about the number of new recruits we have coming in (unless RJO wants to keep that info private, but people like to go with success). So far over 20 new intros have been posted, and many of those people are bringing in SOs or groups of friends, so my estimate is that we have at least 30 new recruits just this week, and that number could easily double by launch. The 50+ number that I posted reflected current members plus recruits, and personally I think it is way low. We could well be on track to match the 100+ new members we did for GW2 (and that doesn't include existing Knights returning to the fold). What do you think?
i would easily have to agree with you on that one.... my numbers are solely based on what people chose for their initial job, so i know for a fact that theres 30 members playing, not to mention the 30 new recruits, and that will definitely keep on growing. especially with the 8 i have yet to talk with, i think its going to be record numbers personally.
It is always a bit of a challenge to come up with clever ways to bump. At first I wondered if we should explain that that number was just the total from our internal class poll, which is mostly existing knights (and only some of them), but it might be better to just drop that topic and move on to something else. So I have another idea, what if the two of us have a dialogue? We could ask questions to each other and then wait for an hour or two before responding to stretch out our bumps better. Like one of us could ask the other, what is a highlight of your time with AKS, or something like that. What do you think?Quote:

Ok, let's try that. My turn next. We're about seven down, should I bump now or wait a bit?
30 replying to the poll probably means 75 members at least (we have way more members who don't use the forums than we do those that do).
Which actually brings us to a problem ish. LSes and FCes have max sizes :). And we will get there quickly. We actually have a paid ad running on /r/FFXIV on Friday which will have us as a sponsored post while beta is up and people are at work chomping at the bit. So I'm not staying stop bumping, but we've basically achieved the momentum we need to. Once we reach a certain recruit and member size it becomes a freight train that will crash in to release
Okay, just to be clear, are you saying to stop bumping now?
Also, you know if we post that we are about to close recruitment there will be people who will want to get in on the action just because it is limited.
I'm sure there has to be some type of solution to that though... How many members can a FC hold? A single linkshell can have a maximum of 128 members, so there may be some options for multiple FC's with Linkshells attached to it.Quote:

Nah, we should still be trying to keep ourselves up there, the priority level has just dropped a notch. We can be a little less competitive about it. Not all the recruits we have will make it to beta (they'll go to other servers, not buy the game, etc - it happens) so it's important we have a solid pool.Quote:

Understood
Got it. Looks like we have a ways to go then. I'll try to stay on top of it and go next.
Feel free to keep getting the guys from your xi server and any of the individual threads where the people are a fit.Quote:

Sigh. We just dropped off the front page and of course I'm on cooldown. I'll be on it in 15...
I'm on it.
yay, thanks! New blood!
Hmmm, kind of a quiet night over there. I've been watching for 2 hours and we have stayed about halfway down the page. I think I will sign off on bump duty for now, so if anyone else sees it drop off the front page feel free to jump in.
Im taking it that even I can bump? >.> I mean I kinda have been already if thats ok.
Everyone is welcome to :)Quote:

It's kind of quiet again today due to the holiday, and we were only drifting toward the bottom of the page--but I won't be around later so I added a bump. Should last us for a while.
Bumped us back up from the middle of the second page.
Were on second page if anyone wants to bump =)
