Over the past few weeks we've brought some heavy-hitters into the linkshell. Having expanded our concept of recruitment a bit, giving players more freedom to choose their comrades, the leadership has been quite pleased overall with how things have worked out.

While our roster is still stands around 30 members, we feel the quality of each member has truly increase since launch date. That's certainly a good sign for a growing linkshell, and is a trend we hope to continue. Recruitment is still going strong across the community sites, with particular emphasis on higher-ranked end-game-ready players. That campaign thus far has netted us half a dozen new players, with many more on the way in right now.

With new changes on the horizon, the outlook for the linkshell remains positive and spirits are higher than ever before (or perhaps about the same as just before launch)! That said, Neutral Impact will also be bringing some changes in the near future, based on the new content we receive this month. With potential end game activities just around the corner, the linkshell has to prepare itself to finalize important topics such as DKP system, loot distribution rules, and event scheduling. New leadership positions may open up soon too! All in good time, as they say.

Stay tuned for more big news, right here at your one-stop station for all Impact Gaming news!

This past weekend was Rift's "Rise of the Defiants" beta event. We had a little more than a handful of members test the game's first official beta test and generally, they enjoyed it! There was a lot to see and also alot of content to experience. Each of our players worked hard to check out parts of the game that they felt would appeal to them, and the overall feeling after this weekend is that it's nothing really special. Of course, this is only an initial beta, and there isn't much more we can say due to NDA, but we are looking forward to seeing what the Guardians offer, and how the PvP is going to work. Whether or not Impact Gaming will be hosting this game is still up for debate however.

More updates will follow when we can say more and there is more to see!

This morning's early Lodestone post has the FFXIV community roaring!

Big changes are on the horizon for SE's newest MMORPG title and we here at Impact Gaming, and Neutral Impact specifically, are really looking forward to how one of our games is going to shape up in the near future! In short the head honchos over at Square Enix have replaced a big chunk of the development team, including producer and director Tanaka with a few familiar faces, and some new ones. The new project will be headed up by a new guy, Naoki Yoshida, and other positions will be filled by veterans who've worked on the Dragon Quest series, Dark Remnant, Dirge of Cerberus, and other titles.

This has us really looking forward to what is to come. Primarily this means that the game's future is much brighter, and that is good for us indeed! Among all the good news, we're also going to get to continue playing the game for free until they've worked out all the kinks. Sadly though, PS3 release is going to be delayed. But you know what? Who cares as long as you get a solid MMOG to play in a year (or two even).

We are in your hands SE, and eagerly awaiting your next move. Surprise us!!!

Opening the Doors!

Neutral Impact is at it again! After coming very close to reaching its 35 member softcap prior to launch, the linkshell has only pined for more players in the past few weeks. We've been at it a month now and we have a great idea now of our job spread and what we're looking to bring into the shell.

That being said, players interested in joining should keep current on our recruitment box over at the Neutral Impact frontpage (http://www.5thedition.net/ffxiv/viewnews.php). If you are looking for additional information on the linkshell, don't be shy and head to our forums and make a post. There's a lot to read there as well.

For those players that are looking for our kind of shell, there's never been a better time to apply! With the December update, and open world Notorious Monsters just around the corner, we're gearing up to take 'em down! Neutral Impact's current goals are to have a minimum of 15 members ready to rock 45+ by that time to shoot for some server firsts, maybe even world firsts!

Seriously though, check us out! What have you got to lose?
