Welcome to the home of Virinis Linkshell, a part of the Final Fantasy XI community on the Lakshmi Server.Virinis was created by me (Talya) and two close friends (Menaili & Littlegrey), but has grown exponentially from there. We have been a strong, close-knit group that has stood in the world of Vana'Diel since the fall of 2005. We have worked hard to build a community that can socialize as well as play together for the benefit of everyone. We look for members who are willing to help each other through difficult trials. We also hold regular events, both game related (i.e. garrison/bcnm/enm/etc.) and Linkshell created.
The Philosophy and Etiquette of Virinis Linkshell is a simple one. Virinis Linkshell is a family oriented, social-plus, community Linkshell. FFXI is a community game, and as such a player will quickly reach his/her limits as a solo member. You will need the help of parties to reach your final goal. In this community environment, we must follow general social rules. The same applies to a Linkshell environment, if not more so, as your Linkshell is often a more permanent social setting.
We have no level/race/job restrictions, nor do we have real-life restrictions, such as age/sex/etc. Because of this, it is imperative that members be courteous to one another. We attempt to minimize swearing as a general rule, however, we also understand that sometimes bad things happen and a person may slip-up. We ask that you be politically correct when speaking in the Linkshell. Hosting different people also means we host different beliefs and lifestyles.Our members are honest, hard working members of the FFXI community, and we feel that the wrong doings by any one member shows poorly on the face of our group as a whole. We do not permit begging, conning, stealing, lying, etc., within or outside of Virinis LS, to or by it's members.
Recruitment into Virinis Linkshell is easy. First, we ask that you fully read the Philosophy and Etiquette section to be sure you will feel comfortable as a member. If you decide this is the right place for you, you may start a topic in the Recruit Me section of the forums on the Discussion page, or you may check the Officers section to the right of this page, and contact the appropriate member in game.
Full website access is restricted to linkshell members at this time. Non-Members may apply to the site for associate status. This gives access to several of our features, as well as the oppurtunity to participate in some Linkshell events. We only ask that you at least have one character on the Lakshmi server.
Applying to the website is a 2-step process. First, you are applying to Guildportal.com as the first step. From there, you must apply to Virinis as your guild.
If you have further questions regarding Virinis or it's members, please see the appropriate forum on the Discussion page of the site.
Thank You,Talya
An Egg-hunter Is Hatched (03/18/2010)
Hear ye, hear ye, kupo! Drop everything you're holding—unless it's a basket of eggs—for the annual Egg Hunt Eggstravaganza event will soon commence! It's about this time of year that fun-loving adventurers are heard egg-sclaiming, "Gosh, it's been a while since I last heard an egg pun." And who are we moogles to deny them the pleasure, kupo? To answer the call, the trusty Mog House Management Union (MHMU) moogles will be taking to the streets with oodles of eggs cradled lovingly in our little arms, distributing them to egg-semplary adventurers worth their salt sprinkled atop a boiled egg. And you, Master. When the event begg-ins in earnest, I don't want to see you sulking over shriveled potted plants in the Mog House, but outside hunting eggs, eggs, and more eggs! Kupopopo! "But I don't know the first thing about egg-hunting," you say? Well, such egg-scuses can be thrown out the window as egg-straneous, kupo! Because for this year's event, fledgling adventurers are being egg-stensively egg-sercised by their resident moogles in the ways of the egg-hunter, and I had the privilegge—erhm...that was probably a mite forced—of being on location for one such lesson! Lean closer to hear the details, kupo! Event Schedule The Egg Hunt event is set to begg-in on Thursday, March 25th, 2010 at 1:00am (PDT), and egg-spire on Tuesday, April 6th, 2010 at 1:00am (PDT).
New Add-on Series "Abyssea" Announced! (02/28/2010)
An announcement was made today at VanaFest 2010 for "Abyssea," an all-new three-part series of battle-oriented add-ons. A parallel world existing beside Vana'diel, Abyssea is a land fraught with perils and home to savage hordes of heretofore unseen creatures. Ferocious, towering NMs, new-look HNMs-even the garden varieties will confound would-be challengers with their unfamiliar and formidable powers. These and a whole host more await hapless adventurers with open arms and voracious maws. In Abyssea, concerns such as the over-population of battle areas and the need for large time investments will be a thing of the past. The development team is hard at work creating a world where parties can engage in rewarding battles with powerful foes and collect prized equipment with the least of fuss. More details are available via the following links: The Official Abyssea Website The Official VanaFest 2010 Website
