Hey, so I'm currently on Phoenix and its been kind of whatever since a few friends quit recently. Trying to figure out fast while transfers are cheap this weekend a good alternative server with active link shells and pugs. I'm open to any server especially if it has some old friends on it.

Asura.

Reasons? Highly populated, split NA/JP pretty even... and that's about it. Oh, and people still do Abyssea Worm PT's!

Asura and Odin are the most populated servers, I believe. I'd suggest either of them unless you have friends on another server.

And that isn't a bad thing, as most of the Japanese players I've spoken with are good people. Autotranslate being what it is, sometimes concepts are screwy, but communication is rarely a serious problem.

I am currently on Asura... I am not enjoying my stay at all. Reddit Linkshell took over the whole server and there is no serious linkshells with ventrilo or ts3 or yeah... you know :(

I'd rather do dynamis, but this is means to an end.

Lol didn't you say something similar to this when you left your old server to go to Bahamut? Wasn't it not a month or so ago, you were saying how great Bahamut was when you server hopped there? What changed in that short of time?

you are pretty off on yr memory. a month ago? maybe 3-4 months ago. what changed? the announcements of no new content after nov prob drove lots of people to stop playing. doing the same thing over and over leads to many people stop playing.

yea it was great when I first got here. but prob 20-30 percent of the people in bahamut quit during that period of time. thus looking for people to join up with wherever I can.

Got back the other day myself and see what you're talking about with everyone missing now. Heard a diff story about that 20-30% you talking about tho, seems they got banned not quit and was quite a bit of them. I'm sure there were players taking breaks too though like myself but the staggering number of people banned wasn't a shock for me when I got back though. Always knew it was a matter of time before they finally got what they deserved. Insert rage rant from banned player below ↓

Maybe because I've managed to band together a good number of people into a LS, but I kinda prefer playing on a smaller server. I would imagine certain popular content and stuff (ie: bat camp in Woh Gates, Escha, Reives) become much less available. It might be harder for people who are more reserved, but making your own LS, inviting similar minded people, and leading content is a surefire way to keep active, instead of relying on shouts or hoping to find a LS. My thing is keeping an eye peeled for returning players and stuff, since they're usually eager to make friends.

Nah...it was definitely a month or so ago..maybe 2 but not 3-4 months. I'm too lazy to look for that thread you made but I definitely remember it being a month or 2 ago so it wasn't that long ago. Just think it's funny since you made a thread about moving servers and this was nearly similar to that one so just randomly wanted to point that out lol.


Well if you do move, mind as well move before midnight pst as that's when the reduced price for transfers end.

Thanks for heads up on price. Staying put for now. At least I know 1-5 people. Better then knowing no one at Odin lol.

I know....too many people on Bahamut....

Yes, there were a lot of mysterious disappearances during the time the STF went on its rampage, including half of a few LSs. That doesn't mean there isn't stuff to do here. Mostly, people do content with their LS, and most LS have the people they need to do things without shouting to fill roles.
