Archived Post from August 22, 2013 - Getting Ready for A Realm Reborn!

With just a couple of days until Early Access, Simple is getting ready to start rolling out and getting work done! We have a huge group of new players joining us for A Realm Reborn and I couldn't be more excited to welcome everyone to the Simple family. Let's get everyone to 50 as soon as possible to start enjoying some endgame!

Those of us who are already level 50, let's figure out times to do things and run the new (some old) content and see what's changed! I can't wait to see you all in-game!

Don't forget to keep it simple, everyone.

If you understand the significance of this, you'll understand why we're all so excited. If you don't, I'm not at liberty to share, but just know that Revenna Rissew is amazing and inspiring and awesome. <3

Archive Post - February 2, 2014 - Site Adjustments and Open Recruitment

Welcome to Simple Free Company's spruced up website. As of February 1st, our free company has begun open recruitment for both new and veteran players. 

A couple of quick things to get out of the way: 

Simple FC was established in 1.0 as a linkshell of people who were close knit from Final Fantasy XI or from real life (or both). We have grown into the free company  and community we are today over the years and formed upon the launch of A Realm Reborn. We had some bumps along the way, but we are a stable, happy, and welcoming group of players. 

What we do in this game varies from player to player in our free company; we have some players who participate in endgame and others who play at their own pace and enjoy themselves without feeling the pressure of raiding. 

Our primary focus is that of community building, and we play games outside of Final Fantasy XIV together frequently and have a discord server for our members to use to communicate with one another even when they cannot sign on to the game. While we do pride ourselves on having members who clear the hardest content in a relatively timely manner, know that this does not solely define us. We hold more pride in the family-like environment of our free company and social linkshells and welcome all players from all skill levels to join us for Patch 3.2 and onwards! <3

We were among the first 5 groups on Hyperion to clear during Second and Final Coil progression, and cleared the first 2 floors of Gordias Savage within a week of its release. Though our progression slowed in the most recent raid cycle, we still have a number of members who are serious about progression and look to push themselves to clear in a relatively timely manner (without feeling the pressure to push aside real life commitments) and have still managed to maintain a spot in the first 5 groups of the server to clear A4S.

If you are looking for a raiding free company, we do currently have a few statics which are clearing most, if not all of the current content. These statics' rosters are currently full. If a spot opens up, the recruitment application will reflect this. 

We are also recruiting for fill up two new statics which run at the following times. These groups will look to run 3-5 days a week at a minimum, perhaps more during progression:

[list]

[*] 8 PM EST starting time 

[list][*]Tanks

[*]Caster[/list]

[*] 2 AM EST starting time

[list][*]Tanks

[*]Healers

[*]Caster[/list]

[/list]

Aaand finally the perks of being the FC as a raider: 

[list][*]Groups with 5/8 members in the FC will have access to popping raid buffs.

[*]If you are in the FC and your static (which doesn't have to have any other members in the FC if you so chose) clears a boss fight of the current cycle, we will post a screenshot on our front page in recognition of your progress![/list]
