I am returning to the game after a 6 months break - I need to transfer

I need to transfer to the largest NA server thats East Coast time. I quit last time due to never being able to raid and I want that to change.

Any advice on the server I can go to?

I love Balmung and have since it was merged and created in 1.0.

Is Balmung on eastern time

Yeah, it's a mix but there's more people from the EST than you could party with.

Diabolos is a very active server during PM hours in EST

I second Balmung. Great server, very active during East Coast evenings.

Sargatans is one of the most populated NA servers, so much so that it would be difficult to transfer to as character creation is locked often.

I'd say Balmung or Sargatanas. Balmung is the unofficial Legacy RP server, so there is that aspect to be aware of.

Sargatanas is highly populated and has a large player base that's active in doing the more hardcore content like Coil and EX Primals. It's mostly based with NA players that are eastern and central time.

If you want to come to Adamantoise please let me know.

Lamia has been lucky for me so far and I've had zero "death threats" for watching cut scenes!
