Do you mean 64 online at a time? (If so, what happens when 64 are online, and a 65th pearled member logs on?)
If you go to "Service & Support" on the main PlayOnline site, and search for "Linkshell", you'll find some articles that discuss the issue:

Question
How many linkpearls can I create and distribute?
Answer
You can create and distribute as many linkpearls as you like. However, only 64 members can activate linkpearls for a linkgroup at the same time. Because of this, if you distribute more than 64 linkpearls for a linkgroup, not all of the members will be able to participate simultaneously. If you feel that your linkgroup has too many members, you may want to consider purchasing additional linkshells and creating new linkgroups.
Question
Why can't I hear anything from fellow linkshell members when I equip a linkpearl?
Answer
Players who can use a linkshell are determined by the order in which they have activated their linkpearls. This means that if the linkshell is already full, you may not be able to use it even after equipping the linkpearl. In this case, your linkpearl will not become active until someone leaves the linkgroup.
