What is the best NA server?

There's no role play on leviathan and while we do have normal queue times compared to other servers, during the EA it's still a queue of 45-75 minutes. Leviathan if you're not quick on patch day, will be like any other server, housing unavailable and the server tends to be more the home of crafters and gatherers. Especially at night time or early morning hours. Sure now with the EA we do have some returning players, but lets face it, unless you're in VG or RIP you'll find yourself having a hard time getting stuff done, since it's mostly extremely casual and the PF is full with people that never cleared stuff before, but advertising constantly farm parties etc. I wouldn't recommend it but hey that's just my opinion, see it for yourself if you like.

While i love Leviathan i cannot recommend it for the time being. Queue times both to get in game and then to actually do duties is rather long.
Tried to log back on from being booted twice and the queue was 3,000 long....
Once stuff gets back to normal (hopefully) it should be better

Don't come to Lamia.

I don't recommend Zalera either, unless you want a server full of immature children and rampant harassment, particularly in Limsa and now Kugane.

Leviathan

-Login times are almost non existent on Levi aside from when the server is suffering from DDoS/ISP issues or an event release. Other than that it's nice, especially given that Levi is now the #2 largest NA server (behind Balmung of course) as far as active players are concerned.

-There's also RPers on Levi. I don't RP myself, but every server has them. I know several of them. Hell there's even a mansion in LB dedicated to RP secifically. You just have to know people who can get you in touch with the community.

-Queue times for duties only suck if you're a DPS but that's pretty much any server.

-Housing... you can probably be a tenant somewhere. Empty plots on Levi aren't a thing aside from maybe the first 5-15 minutes when more wards get added.

There's no such thing as a server with no RP, drama or just all around bad/toxic people. Every server has a bit of everything. Some more than others.

Right now I can't recommend one.. Because SE isn't address the DDos attack that is happening and isn't getting better.
I got kicked off the lobby server 3 times today. Just trying to log on.

You could try Midgardsormr. It's a decently small sized server

Mateus is probably the best shot for an active group of consistent RP for NA players who don't want to be on Balmung. The population is small, but growing. If you're looking for other RP-friendly servers, Omega in the EU datacenter could be an option. I believe Siren also has some RPers, but I haven't heard from anyone over there in a while.

Zalera
