Raider considering transferring, have a few questions

I'm wondering if this is a highly populated and active server with a thriving endgame community. It seems that way to me from the forum, but I thought I'd ask the natives their take on this assumption I've made before committing. I ask this because I'm from the Faerie server, which is small, and I'm not satisfied with the very limited options of raiding FCs at this time, and also is not a good prospect for 2.2. Though I have some friends there (I could make an alt), I'd like to spend my $15/mo by actually getting to find people that can competently clear challenging content as quickly as possible, focus, be punctual, be decent/fun, and have a reasonable schedule (around 6-9 cst start times). I am a i90 warrior, i89 drg, i86 pld, i86 brd, and i84 monk (and all DOMs are about i73-74). I have at least 5 months of clearing 1-4, but because of limited opportunities and bad luck with finding a solid group, I've only done t5 up to twisters, as a warrior off-tank and bard.

Balmung has always been active in Endgame, many people get turned off by the "unofficial RP server" label but it's never been a problem and adds more diversity to the community. Pretty much anyone looking for anything to do can find a home on Balmung. I'd say there's around 10 or 12 FCs that have downed T5 and are doing it regularly now with more FCs following with success. Hope that answers your question.
