I was going to ask privately about this, but I think it would be more beneficial to post it here so that more people can chime in and leave some feedback. I am planning to involve myself as much as I can in link-shell events from the start as this was something I did not do in FF11 and it was always hard to come across good link-shells that didn't have a list from here to hell with people looking for gear and upgrades and so on. With that being said, I am currently living and working in China. I was wondering what time window are we looking at for link-shell events. I am trying to figure out my schedule for work starting September so I want to be able to leave time open so I can participate in these events. I know we still need to figure out a schedule as a link-shell, but I am hoping for a good estimate of what time I should leave open for link-shell events. Another question I have is, are all our link-shell members from the US or are we scattered around the world? Would be nice to see some people playing at all times of the day.
That is a very good question Jens. We are trying to accommodate for as many time slots as we can. I know Xenus will be available for events very late at EST time, but I can't say for him exactly what the ranges are.
At the very minimum, we'll be starting events anywhere from 6 PM EST til 12 PM EST. We don't start too early to give people time after work or school and such. We may be able to extend that further depending on when our FC/LS peak times are. Can't quite say for sure yet.
as maxi said I wont be able to do most event during the weekdays, my schedule has change for my works hour now I'm working 10hrs days wont be out till 1 am est but Friday ill be on around 10 pm est. But im always down for any event tossed at me ^^
I also know we have 3-4 members that won't be getting on at 10 pm and will play to 1 am EST as they live on the west coast. Plus, if we have enough members to pull it off or enough willing to do an event twice we could make two set dates if we have to accomodate ppl. Also, what we did in 1.0 is those getting on at PST replaced those getting off at EST so it worked out. Plus you will be able to schedule ones that fit your time zone outside of a static event. Tanks for thinking ahead Jens. ^^
Edit: Atm we have 38 confirmed members that all have indicated they want to be a part of our FC & LS plus 8 more possible family and friends of current members that might be joining. Then there are about 14 members that we have not heard from who might be coming back to the game, but possibly just remaining in our LS. The only members who are NOT living in the US besides you Jens are two of the 14 I am not sure about, although they were both in beta. So by the time our members that are new to the game our numbers might have increased some and if not we will still be good. ^^

I know I have one more friend interested who hasn't applied yet. I'll let him speak to his schedule when he pops up.
Personally, on weeknights I'd be seen any point from 6pm~midnight Central most weeknights. Probably log earlier around 10pm some of those nights. Rare Wednesdays as I go to fencing practice when I know there'll be folk to fight that night. Fri/Sat I probably would play stupid late in the morning except occasional Saturdays when I'm traveling. Early afternoons Sundays. All be in flux till I'm leveled up I'm sure. And will spend the first few weeks obsessively playing unhealthy amounts XD
11am Est till 3am est are are my monday -friday playtime's work is slow atm so im on alot more but holidays will reduse this comeing late nov-dec. Have made progress on relic up to hydra stage for Mnk and ulocked primals Am down to do anything if can be used tho jobs are limited working on others as fast as i can
basically i wont be on till at least 845 pm during the week since my wife is at school and i have to watch my step-son( thats his bed time lol) other then that my days off i'll be on most of the day also with my work schedule i either open till about 6-7pm or closed which i normally go in at 1pm est.
