Whats each server like?

[Destai]

You can pick what server you go to right? Whats each particular server like?

[Lionx]

Er...i dont know? You could go on another server but i quickly changed into Midgard because my beta friends are there. Simply put once you lvl up a certain lvl, you dont wanna switch servers most of the time. Ask Bleys who played on Alexander and Asura. But most of the time, people are on ONE server only.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

I play on both Garuda and Asura, they're mostly the same, just more/new people to meet.

[escobert]

I want to get to Asura as it seems a lot of people on here play on that server. So if anyone has a world pass lemme know :D

[Mikztsu]

Asura rocks, because many present/ex-EoFF members there.

Not to mention I have lv 67 {mega boss} tarutatu ranger now and I can help people with AF and any qúests with relatively easy.

Just a thought....Asura has some good people there. Friendly and good.

[Destai]

Just wondering since I heard some of the servers were full of people who played the test version (atomos right?) and I heard one of them was full of kids etc. Bahamut, Caith Sith or Alexander I guess unless I hear anything different.

[Necronopticous]

At this point, none of that is true or matters. There is kids on all servers as well as beta testers. Pick one and I'm sure you'll be happy with it. If you want to play with members of EoFF it seems like Asura is the way to go I guess, I don't play anymore personally.

[Miriel]

I was on Ragnarok for like 2 days, then I went to Asura, and now I have a character on Pandemonium.

I like Asura. Except when it's boring, and it's been kinda boring lately. On Pandy I get killed by bunnies and worms which never happened to me on Asura. It's kinda sad. I think people (and bunnies) are slightly more evil on Pandy which is probably why Misfit and Levian (Hankwhatshisface) are both on that server.

[Necronopticous]

I was on Diabolos when I played and I had a very enjoyable experience if you care to know.

[Lionx]

There are kids on every server, but Midgardsormr has the highest NA Beta Tester player base because alot of em banded together and made a web of WPs for us to get in. Ragnarok has the highest ammount of Importers still. If anything Midgard has a more solid NA base than other servers, maybe even more ground than the japanese there. At least thats what i feel...many complain of no NA and i havent heard a word about it in Midgard.

[Roogle]

I don't know about everyone else, but I'M on Midgardsormr. I wasn't aware that everyone was at Asura, but I didn't exactly tell many people that I've played, either. :p

I do get notices from people on Midgardsormr that have posted here or have visited here and recognized my name, though.

[Citizen Bleys]

I'm on Asura once in a blue moon. I don't really like it there, I'd rather be playing on Alexander...but then again, that's because I have zero (0) characters on Asura with a subjob, and Alexander is home to my 54 Bard, and the 50s are a damn exciting time for bards. AF and the genkais give you something besides level grind to look forward to. Plus, I have a really good LS on Alexander...my current LS on Asura is basically just Misfit and Miriel, with a couple of imports from RPGgods, the LS Mik invited me into when I first started there. I threw out my pearl in that shell because Mik and a couple of other EoFF'ers are the only people on that shell that I like (and there's a couple *cough*Scarychick*cough* who I dislike quite strongly), and one of the members was running one of those irritating casinos in Jeuno.

I've also played on Fairy. The economy on Fairy and Asura is *messed up* Things are waaay more expensive than they need to be, and I can get twice as far on the same amount of gil in Alexander, hence more playing and less farming. This, I like.

Next time I get some serious playtime in as Rey, I'm going after my muffin hat, and I have enough gil to last me probably through level 60, especially since my best armor is going to be basically free, not counting the trouble of camping coffers in the Nest, Oztroja, and Zvahl Castle Baileys.

I suppose I could get motivated to play more on Asura if I bought (i.e. not farmed, it's tedious) millions of gil and harassed people for powerlevelling like the kind of 2-bit n00b that I appear to be there.

[Destai]

1 point for Alexander...

[Citizen Bleys]

1 point for me on Alexander. I doubt Wyll or Mik would agree, but they have high-level characters on Asura. The main selling point for Alexander for someone with no in-game friends starting a new character is that the economy isn't b0rked...and even then, you might want to try your luck with Remora or one of the other newer servers.

Wyll and Mik might dislike Clyde or Irini or Jesse just as much as I dislike people like Scarychick and Mr. Jeuno Casino Boy.

Although big upside to Alexander: Almost no bloody casinos. I haven't had to blacklist one single solitary casino runner, and I blacklist at least two every time I sign in to Asura. The gilsellers aren't as bad, either.

Again, other servers that I haven't played on might be even better, but I have my LS and my friends on Alexander.

[Misfit]

Alexander sucks 'cause Bleys plays on that server. ^_^

I mean um... Pandemonium ROCKS because it's fun and stuff. ^_^

[Miriel]

Wyll and Mik might dislike Clyde or Irini or Jesse just as much as I dislike people like Scarychick and Mr. Jeuno Casino Boy.


I don't think I've ever encountered a Scarychick on the LS...although that particular LS is now nonexistent. Wyll and Mik both went away and joined other linkshells and Misfit stole Levian to Pandy and now I'm all alone.

It's all really very sad.

Still, Asura beats Pandemonium any day. :)

[Citizen Bleys]

Ah, so next time I play on Asura, I might have no LS at all ><

Now I'm less motivated than ever to level Belisarius and Liosliath.

[eternalshiva]

I'm on Titan :D Haven't played on any other servers but so far I enjoy it, Economy is beginning to be messed up... hopefully that will change.. it's getting to the point where 400K can't get you anywhere >< at lvl 65 anyways >.> People there are nice, easy going, you get your bad apples like any other server I guess.

[Lionx]

I don't know about everyone else, but I'M on Midgardsormr. I wasn't aware that everyone was at Asura, but I didn't exactly tell many people that I've played, either. :p

I do get notices from people on Midgardsormr that have posted here or have visited here and recognized my name, though.


I miss teh Ice ; ;

Economy is player driven, so yea its inflation in which there is a tax that helps on the long run. Remora and Hades are new servers where high lvl crafters rule from worldshift :P monopoly, happened in midgard til late summer-ish.

My sugguestion is just go to ANY, and invite your friends, friends is what makes any MMO Shine.

EDIT: Atomos is a private TEST server which was for the EU Beta test, i have a hunch that its also Cactaur for the NA beta test.

[lordblazer]

A different economy thats what lol.EAch server has its own economy.Like Pandemonium is highly monopolized!.

on pandemonium 300k at lvl 30 won't get you anywhere.

[KamiTidus]

I dont know if anyone posted about Remora or not ( I got tired of readin posts) but anyways. If you choose to goto the Remora Server, make sure you start at Bastok. In Bastok there are alot of nice people. Im only lvl 13, I admit thats low for playing over 6 months but bloody hell, I cant even play for long cause my router wants to kick me off the game constantly. But anyways, there are alot of nice people there, and they will help in return of you helping them. (Not GIL or anything.) I have like 10 friends on Remora at Bastoke up in their 40's (lvl) and all I did was heal someone for them to become my friend. x_x Anyways here's my Specs....

Server: Remora
Character(s): Duragon, Tokijin(Not currently enabled)
Level(s): WAR: 13 WHM: 4

[lordblazer]

wow only bastok uh?hmmm.I might go ther ebut i'll start off in windy lol.I cant stand bastok.

[Lionx]

It really depends, theres seems to be an underdog nation that always get third a majority of the time =/ Our server like many others have Bastok as the underdog where it is first every 3-5 months. >_> And like beta Windy seems to have the less problems maybe because of its remote location. Sandy is shout mania with lots of immature things flinging about. Bastok people are generally rude @_@ Depends on the server i guess.

[lordblazer]

Yeah bastokians on pandemonium are stuck up.Windurstians are pretty nic eon our server.and Sandy is full of a bunch of people who call each other noobs.Man someone called this lvl 75 WAR a noob man he was so pissed.The same guy who did it screwed up and called a GM a noob and was sent to GM jail >_<.

[Misfit]

and Sandy is full of a bunch of people who call each other noobs.
{lie}

I'm from Sandy, and I don't call anybody a noob... you noob. xD As well as most of my LS is from Sandy, and they don't call anybody a noob (unless the person is a whm/war and is tanking, then no http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gifhttp://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif it's a noob).


Man someone called this lvl 75 WAR a noob man he was so pissed.
Believe or not, there ARE level 75 noobs in the world of FFXI...

[lordblazer]

lol he wasn't a noob but it was funny when the same guy called that GM a noob in the /shout.man the whole area went /laugh .

edit-the chaos server which is pandemonium.Has a group of gil sellers called the Zooes and everyone spits on them kicks them or slaps them everytime they see 'em.I know one of them and they seem alright plus They aren't gil sellers lol.

[Misfit]

One of them Raised me once... 'twas nice, I haven't had any bad run-ins with them either. o.o

[Roogle]

EDIT: Atomos is a private TEST server which was for the EU Beta test, i have a hunch that its also Cactaur for the NA beta test.

Atomos is an International test server for new areas, missions, quests, and possibly even jobs. It's not just for Europe. I think Cactuar was the only server that was like that...

[KamiTidus]

Well on Remora's Bastok I was only playing like 10 minutes before people were helping me. (I move from Gilgamesh with all my equips and crap) I logged in, healed someone with Cure and Ta-Da people giving me gil and help whenever I need it x_x

So if thats rude... I donno. Unless your talking about the NPC's, I'd have to disagree. I hate the damn Bastok NPC's though since Im from Sand'Oria. Thay always bizitching me out...

Edit: I doubt ours was only for us. We always get the international servers. Dont forget that... (NOTE: Not all Versions of the game connect to the same versions of the servers... From what I've heard..)

[lordblazer]

hmm I got a world pass maybe i should us it to goto atomos or can i?

[Rostum]

hmm I got a world pass maybe i should us it to goto atomos or can i?

You can only invite people to your server, with it. =\ Unless someone from Atomos gave you the world pass number?

[Lionx]

Atomos is an International test server for new areas, missions, quests, and possibly even jobs. It's not just for Europe. I think Cactuar was the only server that was like that...


Hmm really? I just assumed its for EU since i dont remember a worldwide international release and just EU. It could be just me however so i dont doubt it might be international....but yes Cactaur was only NA no doubt about it.

lordblazer: Unlikely, they probably locked the characters there...i THINK i remember someone trying that and didnt work but it was a while ago so it might not be true....however it would make no sense to even want to go to Atomos because the server will be resetted after the beta test is over and you lose everything.
