Looking for a NA Populated Server

[Rubina]

Hello everyone! I'm returning after a long break and I'm looking to see which server has an active NA population, in particular EST. Currently I'm on Odin and it's a bit of a ghost town during the times that I play. So can someone suggest a server that I can transfer to?

I believe Odin is the 2nd most populated server, so if you're looking for more people, Asura is the only server more populous. If you're having trouble finding people to group up with, you can check Linkshell Concierge NPCs to see if they have and linkshells to join.

Most servers have some semblance of an NA population. That said while Odin is the second largest server, it heavily leans JP. Bahamut is probably the best server to play on right now. Asura is overpopulated and has some issues that other servers don't have so much.

That said, you can join almost any server. I'd be happy to lend you a hand should you come to Shiva. You can thoroughly enjoy the game on any server. Try not to think about population so much, especially considering the game provides you lots of tools to get most content done if you can't get someone else to help you.

Odin isn't a ghost town, it's the second biggest server. You have to reaqlize that, particularly if you haven't been here in many years, that the population is spread over a much wider area, and a lot of people are chilling in places besides the main cities, such as Mhaura, because that's where Ambuscade is. But Odin is more JP oriented so when it's NA prime time, there are fewer people on because the server leans significantly Japanese. Again, I'd recommend Bahamuit and advise against Asura. You can't just look around whatever town you're in and go "oh, it's a ghost town" because it's really not.

Also, the poster above is right. You can find poeople to do stuff with by using the linkshell concierges. These NPCs hand out pearls for linkshells that are looking for members. The only problem is each NPC has its own list (tailored for linkshells with a particular purpose) so you'll have to check each one of them.

Just go to Asura server

or not. Asura needs more players to move there like a vampire needs sunlight.

The OP ask for a populated server, stop trying to repopulate your dead servers, thats SE job by adding actual content to this game so people return. There are 3,400 people online currently on Asura, you wont find any other NA EST based server with a higher population.

This isn't a content problem. We have one, two servers that are legitimately overpopulated, having more concurrent users than any server had when this game was at peak popularity. Both this problem and other servers probelms would go away if action was taken to balance out the populations.

Frankly, I legitimately feel removing the world pass system was a mistake, because we wouldn't have had this problem otherwise.

Y'all broke it :P

Oh, it doesn't stop Asurans from enjoying the game. 16 servers will never be balanced. Odin is going to be a new Asura for Japanese players.

If the OP wants a NA (and EU) populated server then Asura is it.

You'd enjoy the game b etter on a server where everything actually works :P

right, they shoulld merge down a couple servers and then even it out. asura has close to 2x what most servers had 10+ years ago. it needs to be balanced. It obviously cannot handle more and more and more people moving there with content crashing.

The servers clearly can't handle much more than what Asura currently has. But the situation is still snowballing. They could have to split it if it gets worse.
