There aren't that many Free Companies that can say they have over a thousand members in Final Fantasy XIV. Be it a good thing or not for the social part of the game, Axium was a group of guilds under the same name (designated I, II etc) that numbered around two thousand members in total, all managed by the same player with multiple alts made to create this FC.
The Free Company is found on the Chaos Data Center, and was first founded in 2013 on Odin before moving to Ragnarok. Firstly it was a FC, then becoming quite an (in)famous name on the server, it was nevertheless one of the biggest elements of European FFXIV.
The Axium legacy ended a few days ago, however, with the conglomerate imploding because of what looks like internal drama.
From around two thousand members to just one in the subs guilds, and around 30 members in the original FC, the Axium group looks well and truly over.
Previous members have explained that the FC leader even went as far as changing their in-game name and leaving FC (while giving the control of the guild to an alt), to hide from the storm. This wouldn't be the first time they had left for months on end, without putting someone else in charge.
While we don't have any more details just yet, rumors are spreading about how the guilds were "managed" -- with nothing good worth mentioning.
If you know more about the guild and how it was organized, please feel free to let us know in the comment section below.
