It's really confusing, I duno why SE didn't just have a German, French and UK server, for EU players its really hard to find the right server with a suitable population.
Looks like Moogle might be the right choice for UK players though.

I don't know about FF14s EU servers but in most other MMORPGs it can be pretty horrible. Most can speak english but not very good, you just can't communicate properly. There's also more isolation going on; swedish guilds, polish guilds, russian guilds etc.
And that's just on an average server. Picking an EU server is like throwing dice. Some countries dominate the servers and I remember one time in WoW when I was looking for a good server to join I ended up scouting a server which almost exclusively had hungarians (I think). Most LFG's and Trade comments were in their language and some had "LFG X.. HUN ONLY".
It's a problem because many big "MMORPG countries" aren't very good at english. Russia & Poland are two major examples. Germany and France, well, there's a reason they get their own official servers in just about every mmorpg. Of course, this is just generalizations of my own 10+ years of mmorpg experiences. -

I personally prefer NA servers because even although I don't speak perfect english, I feel that I can communicate much better than on an EU server. But more importantly, what is up with the 1000 character posting limit??? That's like five sentences!

There are many people from different country`s on Moogle , Holland , Belgium , Germany , France , Finland , Spain , Italy , Polen and dont forget Sweden , Norway and ofcourse the UK.Quote:

They could have a server for EU (other) also but we know SE, it's never going to happen, we would be lucky to get EU servers tbh. -

Maybe after the Server Transfers are enabled, French people from Excalibur / Shiva / whavetever will move to the chosen Fr unofficial server. Same for German people who are on a server other than Shiva.
And so on. -
09-30-2013, 08:32 PMShadowHunterrXYou make it sound so easy ;) , but it doesnt really make sense. Bec there will be alot of hate too players of another country`s , at the start of the moogle server French indeed claimed the server as FRENCH Server and there were alot of useless *shout fights*. When I shout in it Dutch on a UK server , I will bet you that some wil start a lame shout war because of it. Now 1 month later : Everybody has there LS/FC too speak there own language in and outside they speak English. Except some French ofcourse :p. They claimed as there French server.Quote:

This behavior is the root of the probleem. People will claim and set there own rules. I dont mind if people call Unoffical , but for some they make it official and dont care about anothers.Quote:
