we are not obsessed with crystals nor are we obsessed with getting alot of members. Our system is:
1. Anyone wishing to enter FSO may do so, as an Apprentice.
2. After 7 days as an Apprentice, the guild council makes a decision.
3. If the decision is to keep the new recruit then they are promoted to a low ranking class of the section they choose. If the council decides to reject the new recruit, they are immediately ejected from the guild, making room for new Apprentices.
and as for the crystals, yes that does hold some importance... it is, after all, the ONLY bit of gameply. Of course we would like to take part in it. And in the merge, we hope not only for the crystals.... it will supply Mundus with much needed structure, and gices us the reliable, active, member base we need.
