So right now, it is 7pm GMT time, and I want a party, but wait! theres only 1k people online, and 30something people seeking ; ;

The UK population on Fenrir seems pretty low, I've only met around 5 of them, and tbf, it sucks :L

How many EU people have you met on your servers?
Does anybody know the server with the highest EU population?

On Fenrir i only seem to be able to get parties after 8pm, and because of college, i try to go to bed at 12 every night, which means most nights i only get around 4 hours of exp a night, factor this in with helping people out, and getting helped out myself, i must get a maximum of ~14-16 hours worth of exping a week. I'm not exactly looking for a server with A LOT of EU players, because i think they will be evened out over all of the servers, but i want a server with a fair few people on during GMT times.

I'm not yet 75, so i'm not really looking for a EU endgame ls, but it will be something ill be looking for when i finally reach 75.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Pandy used to have a really active one, I think it broke though. Don't really remember the name either so...not a spectacular amount of help. We're also one of the least populated servers so...sorry.

Fairy is a graveyard atm as well.

I ran into a Padfoot, Valkurm Emperor, and Morlborger all in one day, and NO ONE WAS AROUND.

Too bad I don't need the second two and the first one gave me a skin.

To answer your question... not Fairy either.

O.O That sounds amazing!
We only get that when its prime NA time. I know other EU people that have moved to Asura, maybe its the server that could solve my problems.. any downsides to it? I saw a shout in wg the other day by someone who had left Asura because of the lack of ballista, having never tried it, and not being too bothered about it, i dont think that would be a problem. o.O

Still open to any suggestions O:

I've been playing for 16 months, and I haven't seen any real Ballista matches, or any of the other misc. activities. Asura's too heavy on End Game to worry about that stuff.

Few downsides, there's a lot of drama. There will be with any server, but I think Asura's a little more notorious for it. We have our token trolls, too. One of the, if not the largest overall population. Our JP population is pretty decent, too. Yeah, we have a few "JP ONRY"s but, not enough to be a problem.

Our economy is pretty stable compared to most, you can either look at making profit by selling what you had on your server, or buying what's cheaper on Asura most of the time.

Another thing I noticed, life as a DD in Asura is somewhat bland. There's a lot of them. If you come to Asura with a healer or a COR or BRD, you'll be snatched up real quick as far as meripo go.

Again, everyone has their own views. I'm sure some other Asurans will say otherwise or agree with me on most. Continue looking around, it's your money~

My main job is WHM, but ive levelled - or want to level all of the other jobs, maybe being on a server needing WHMs would motivate me to get to 75 faster O: there are loadsa WHMs on Fenrir
