By giving items called "linkpearls" to other players, you can add people to your linkgroup. &style=spacer02; &style; Linkshells are sold in shops as a "New Linkshell." You must purchase one in order to form a linkgroup. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3; Using a Linkshell&style; &style=spacer01; &style; When you use a new linkshell for the first time, you will be asked to enter a name for it. This will also be the name of your linkgroup, and can be up to 19 alphanumeric characters. The name must be unique among other linkshells within your World. If the name you selected is already in use, please select a different one. After you have chosen a name for your linkshell, you can select a custom color for it. Once you decide on a name and color, your linkshell is ready for use, and will automatically be equipped. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Using Linkshells&style; &style=spacer01; &style; Selecting "Linkshell" from the main menu displays the linkshells, linkpearls, and pearlsacks currently in your possession. Selecting any of them opens the Linkshell command menu. Selecting "Equip" sets the selected linkgroup to active status. If you drop a linkshell, the linkgroup will be disbanded, and linkpearls and pearlsacks from that group will no longer be usable. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;【Create Pearl】&style; &style=spacer01; &style; Creates a linkpearl. The created linkpearl is added to your item list. &style=spacer02; &style; &style=Tk15w_3;【Link List】&style; &style=spacer01; &style; Shows a list of members for the linkgroup of the equipped linkshell, linkpearl, or pearlsack. &style=spacer02; &style; &style=Tk15w_3;【Unequip】&style; &style=spacer01; &style; Removes the currently equipped linkshell, linkpearl, or pearlsack, so that you do not receive the linkgroup's  messages. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Forming a Linkgroup&style; &style=spacer01; &style; A linkgroup is formed by creating a linkpearl from a linkshell with the "Create Pearl" feature, giving it to another player, and having them equip it. The PC who gave the linkpearl is set as the linkgroup leader, while the recipient becomes a member. The leader can increase the size of the linkgroup by creating and giving linkpearls to other players. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Talking with Linkshells&style; &style=spacer01; &style; The "Linkshell" command allows you to talk to other members of the linkgroup. Regardless of your location, you will be able to participate in the conversation as long as you have set the linkgroup to active. &pre=01;&style=Ty15; *Please be aware that server conditions may limit the number of people who can participate in a linkgroup. In that case, members will be granted access in the order in which they activated their linkpearls. You should take care not to create too large of a linkgroup when handing out linkpearls to other players.&style; &style=spacer01; &style;  As long as you have space in your inventory, you may have as many linkshells, linkpearls, or pearlsacks as you like. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Morph to Sack&style; &style=spacer01; &style; Linkgroup leaders can assign a member to have administrator status. That way, the linkgroup can remain active even when the leader is not logged in or wants to use a different linkgroup. Select "Linklist" from the Linkshell menu, select a member to act as an administrator, then select "To Sack." The selected player's linkpearl will morph into a pearlsack, granting them administrator status. A member who has been granted administrator status can use the "Create Pearl" feature. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Discarding Linkshells&style; &style=spacer02; &style; &style=Tk15w_3; Discarding a Linkshell&style; &style=spacer01; &style; If the leader of a linkgroup drops the linkshell, the linkgroup will be disbanded. If this happens, the linkpearls, and pearlsacks for the group may no longer be equipped. &style=spacer03; &style; &style=Tk15w_3; Removing a Member&style; &style=spacer01; &style; Use the "Kick" command to remove a specified member from a linkgroup. &pre=01; Select "Linklist" from the Linkshell menu. Choose the member you wish to remove, and select "Kick" from the resulting menu. Once kicked out, a member's linkpearl or pearlsack will be deactivated. If you wish to have them join the linkgroup again, you must create a new linkpearl and give it to them. &style=spacer01; &style; &style=Ty15; *Only leaders and administrators have the authority to remove members from a linkgroup. Leaders can kick out any member of the linkgroup. Administrators cannot kick out the leader. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3;&image=ng01;Linkshell Features&style; &style=spacer01; &style; A message will be displayed when you equip a linkshell. This message can be changed by members who have been appointed by the leader of the linkshell. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3; Displaying the Linkshell Message&style; &style=spacer01; &style; All members can view the linkshell message. &style=spacer01; &style;  -/lsmes   Displays the linkshell's message. &style=spacer01; &style;  -/lsmes level   Displays the member level required to set the linkshell message. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3; Setting the Linkshell Message&style; &style=spacer01; &style; Only members appointed by the leader may set the linkshell message. &style=spacer01; &style;  -/lsmes [message] or /lsmes set [message]   Sets the linkshell message. &style=spacer01; &style;  -/lsmes clear   Deletes the current linkshell message. &pre=01;&style=Tk15w_3; Setting Member Levels&style; &style=spacer01; &style; Only the linkshell leader may set member levels. &style=spacer01; &style;  -/lsmes level ls Prohibits all other members from setting the linkshell message. &style=spacer01; &style; -/lsmes level ps Allows pearlsack holders to set the linkshell message. This is the default setting. &style=spacer01; &style; -/lsmes level all Allows all members to set the linkshell message. &pre=01;&style=Ty15; *The above text commands can only be used when the linkshell is equipped.&style;
