SURVEY ON HNMLS's OF LEVIATHAN

I had the oppurtunity to do a survey on many North American Link Shell members of various LS. The purpose of this was to allow new coming high levels to understand what LS best suits them. As well as a HOPE that these current ls will do more to help provide for their members were they have been lacking. These below are not ALL of the HNMLS on Leviathan, but they're the once that came up most often.

Absolute Zero
www.AbsoluteZero-ls.net
Leader: Sidanoir

Having over 50 members, this HNMLS is one that is the least known. All members have Sky, and 98% have sea, This LS thrives to help out its members whenever possible. Along with a Dynamis LS that is provided to all members, this LS is most know for its ability to listen to their members' needs.

Though it might be high on helping eachother out, it lacks of showing up to HNM's. Still struggling to get the HNMLS down, this LS probably might have a bright future, but for its present, its still in the shadows.

Bringer of the Dawn
www.Botdls.com
Leader: Antonioklaus

Bringer of the Dawn is one of the most organized HNMLS on Leviathan. All activities are posted in advance as well as web site access to place an activity on a desired date. Along with a Dynamis Ls that is included to all members, and weekly Sky runs, BotD is a "Good starting shell for any new 75." BotD uses a "Points System" in which members can get points from helping other members on quest, or missions. And Use these points during Gods to get items they want.

Though BotD is organized on its activities, their points sytem could use some work. Usually points are never updated, or points become lost. Older members seem to never have points taken away as new once can never earn enough to get anything. BotD goes through members faster then any other LS known. Once a strong advisary on HNM's, Botd has taken a strong step back, allowing other activies such as gods, take priority. " Along with a doze of drama," it was recommended that "Definitely look elswere if you want to be the best".


Crimson Rain
www.Crimsonrain.cjb.net
Leasder: Shiloh

Crimson Rain is a name heard throughout Leviathan, their blood red LS are seen at all HNM's. Over 40 members, all have sky and 63% has sea. They Strive to help each other out. Setting a few days of the week in which LS members are asked to help members on what ever activites they need. Thinking of the LS "More of a family" then just a way to get through the game, CR has proven one of the strongest HNMLS in the game.

Because of its "Family" feel it is almost imposible to get into CR, only under "Special Circumstances". As well as a small "Inner circle" of members who seem to get everyting they ask, CR is not recemended to anyone who hopes to strive their character forwards.


Knights of Heaven
www.KnightsofHeaven.shim.net
Leader: Naull

One of the Newest on Leviathan, Koh Has strived to become a advisary to all opposing Ls. With over 45 members, everyone has sky and 32% has sea, with a possible Dynamis LS on the way. Was titled "Best rounded LS" by means, it gathers skilled players from all over leviathan, with its LS shining high at all HNM's, KoH is a LS to take note of.

Because of it being so new, its Orginization is below average. Members find themselves not knowing events until the day of, which could interfere with pre-planned activites. Though its members are tough, so is the challange to get them to help one another. At times members seems to have to bribe or pay other LS mates to help out with missions or quest. "If you have not finished CoP, Zalart, or need help on poped nm's, you most likly going to need to find help elswere".

Orange Milkshake
www.Milkshake.forumup.com
Leader: Stridertnt

Known as the "Multi-Boxed" linkshell, Orange Milkshake was proud to state "Can take anything this game throws at us." Having over 20 members, yet over fiftey charaters. Most Renouned NA linkshell at HNM's. This linkshell strives by giving all to their members. Every member has sky, and 95% has sea. Members are also inluded to partisipate in a Dynamis linkhshell that is provided, as well as limbus that is done "In House".

One can find the most skillful players on the server in OM, yet because of this they were called "most selfish linkshell of them all". But ironically their leader is the most "Unselfish person on all Leviathan."


The Spirits Within
http://forums.cjb.net/tsw/html
Leader: Ganondorf

The Spirits Within has over 50 members. Of those members everyone has Sky and 28% has sea. Once one of the strongest in HNM's, TSW is taking a step back, doing more sky raids, and other activities.

Though once a Linkshell that strived for perfection, its questionable leadership, as well as its members' lack of intrest has caused TSW to create a backslide. Members find themselves having to either pay or bribe LS members to help out in nms, and missions.


*The LS above are all NA shells, but if you're from Europe and want a LS to look into I suggest Moonglow, I heard nothing but great things.

IN CONLUSION: I do hope that none is offended by this, its main pourpose was to help LS understand its members needs, that they themselves are affraid to say due to being kicked from their LS. For most its members it was the problem of once most their LS got sea people stop helping (usually the higher leaders). As well as most LS wont help nm's nore missions unless their was something that benefitted them.

In conclusion I leave it up to the leaders to help make their LS stonger for their members needs, as well as understand that though they might have strong skill players, new ones are being created every day so dont shut your doors too quickly, for that could be your LS downfall.

Wow, that pretty much sums it up lol, Who'd you interview?

[Tavern]

I have interview many people in many linkshells to try and get full covrage of everyones idea of their LS. But i wish not to bring them to any harm or hate, so i will not say who they were.

[LupusTHF]

Well done man, I'm personally very impressed how acurate you got everyone, Very nice job.

[Tavern]

Thank you. I do hope it does some good. And hope that it gives many people an Idea of what LS to look forward to when reaching the levels that is best to enter a HNMLS.

Actually man, TSW was reformed somewhat into TSU, TheSpiritsUnleashed. My LS. And it's doing much better than TSW in one weekend, We work together unlike TSW.

I am sorry if you feel that it is wrong, I interviewd over 4 members per linkshell, but if you feel that somethign is out of place please let me know so i can do what ever i can to make the information right. What do you feel is wrong with this paragraph?

[Duriel]

It's not 100% accurate and you missed a few linkshells also.

You got OM down pact tho. Multi-boxers FTW!

This information was all given to me a week ago. During that time I interviewed people of a linkshell called The Spirits Within with the leader named Ganondorf, if this is not ur Ls nor ur Leader then the passage above does not connected to ur LS in any way. Theirfor the infomation above is correct for that LS, and the members I had interveiwed.

[Naz]

TSW is no longer pretty much is what he is saying. New Leader, new LS.

You missed other LS that do things besides kings and crap. Maybe you weren't going for other ls tho.

[SandmanofLeviathan]

Well Tav, it pretty much is TSW, Ganon gave up, I took over in a different shell, and recruited more people, so if you want change that <.<
Thank you

[Tavern]

I understand that TSU now is a new HNMLS, and perhaps TSW is no more. But when the interviews were taken place TSW was a HNMLS and had taken actual interviews of members of that LS. Because I have not interviewed anyone of the ls TSU, I can not place a statment on the above passage. So the paragraph above is linked to the LS TSW only and in no way should be connected to the ls TSU, even though I understand its mostly same linkshell members but under new managment.

Yes i agree that I must have missed some HNMLS, they way i did my search was first a shout in jeuno asking of any HNMLS to please send me a /tell so I may do a interveiw. During each interveiw I ask each member of each LS of any other LS they find at other HNM or other events that they find a great advisary. All the names above were mentioned during interviews, if I had missed yours I am very sorry, for your LS name had not come up.

Oh and our pearl isn't blood red. It's kinda pinkish, no?

And I'm betting on 3 pages for this.

[MattelotLeviathan]
