Why Uldah?

Why is everybody piled up in Uldah?I feel like we are the only shell in Gridania :)
Not that i aint proud abt it but its kinda weird... whats so attractive abt uldah.
i like my woods :)

Uldah is in the middle of the 3 cities and has the best high tier leve's to offer. Also the market wards are stocked full since everyone is there. I like the other cities but since noone goes there I'm sticking to uldah until they fix the game.

can u explain that to me?
best = better sp gain in a 8 ppl link pt?

Because when i was in the Alpha we only had LL so on Beta i chose Uldah and the goldsmiths guild is there so stayed there.

Yes the best leve links. But after 1.18 it won't matter anymore because they are changing the leves.

Basically that. The only logical choice right now in city selection is where everyone is at, which seems to be Uldah on most servers. Until they rebalance the other cities leves and hopefully find a way to link all 3 wards together, people will hang out where it's most convenient for crafting/leveling. :}

to be really honest with you , i ll be like a grumpy old man if ppl starting to pop up in Gridania :P
lol
i never mind that grid is underpopulated i can still sell my stuff there and i ve been there since CE so ...
as i said im a woods person.
ok i can understand the points above but all servers are full of powergamers only?
no one has a lill rp side on em or so?

It's in the middle and coblyns use to be the only thing you could grind on.

Because you don't know how to spell "about"

I hate the woods, but regardless of that, I'll stay there for the sake of my journal.

Talking about Meo though..well, she's usually in Limsa, because I like it best.
It's only possible because I'm very anima efficient, so I can go to Uldah for shopping.

Simple answer was bad direction in main storyline quests. You started in LL? You started in Grid? You started in ULDAH?! in doesn't matter, the quest after 20 go to Uldah anyway, welcome to sucklandia. Lol sorry, i just think it was a bad move.

I also love the Black Shroud, so i can't wait till they adjust the Guildleve distribution as mentioned in the Guildleve Reform post on Lodestone. (http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...f6eee0cc916430)

Not unless you were weird enough to roll Besaid.

Uldah has a nice bar... yep... I said it... damn Lalafel always standing by the Mi'qote on the table...

Anyways... jokes aside... like others said Ul'dah is most convenient right now since it' in the middle of the 3 countries. Gridania is nice looking but the Black Shroud just killed it. With airship in 1.19 and maybe like warp NPC within the city to teleport from edge of map to the other side like Windurst in FFXI would fix some problems why people don't want to be in other countries. But as game evolves like FFXI Jeuno or White Gate people will migrate to more convenient areas most likely.

I like Ul'dah. But then I liked Bastok in FFXI too, and I think Ul'dah and the surrounding terrain both look worlds better than Bastok did. Since I don't really enjoy doing guild leves I've sort of just been bumming around until some of the combat reform gets implemented... And Ul'dah is just the place I find most aesthetically pleasing.

I tried all 3 cities during the open beta and Ul'duh seemed to A) be the easiest to navigate and B) not do unspeakable things as terribly to my then under-powered GPU.

Personally, after all these months playing I much rather prefer the landscape surrounding Limsa but, Ul'duh will always be home.
