How is this server

Thinking bout switching to this server, so I'm interested in knowing how the server is, especially how is the community ? and prime time since I'm from Europe.
I just now finished The Praetorium and with it the main story and even though i'm interested in advancing more with endgame i'm more interested in socializing and building friendships.

Hi Ryuki! Thank you for your interest in Brynhildr. We're a pretty chill crowd overall, and my personal experience has been mostly positive with just about everyone I've encountered. I haven't met anyone I absolutely hated yet at least. Prime time ranges, it's an NA based crowd for sure that I've seen but I also know personally FCs (the one I'm a member of included) are inclusive of other peoples from different regions. Look around the boards there's a few of us that post advertising our FCs (mines somewhere here..), and I think you'll get an overall feel.

Good luck in your decision!

Hi, Ryuki!
Brynhildr is a a "new" server, so, compared to some other servers is a bit small. But in my opininion, that makes the comunity closer together, so we easily can find good friends to play with. Of course, as any MMO in the world, we do have some obnoxious people, but they are kinda rare to find. I play in Brynhildr since october last year and I'm having a blast!
If you decide to join us, feel free too look for me, or any of my FC members to help you out! ^^

Thanks you for the nice and informative replies PbFarmer and Demi_Goldheart, for what you told and from what I saw from the FC posts like was suggested this server definitely seems like the fun, friendly environment that I was looking for.

Well, I like it. I'd love to get some RP started up on the server, be it linkshell or FC.

I'm thinking of transferring over to this server, being from Hyperion I find a lot of elitism in groups, no one has any patience and just wants to rush through a dungeon. How much of this do you notice on the server and over all in the Duty Finder.

Duty Finder gathers people from all servers to form a group, I rarely team up with Brynhild people when I use it. But ever since I started playing FF, 95% of the players were very nice and patient with me. I tend to play the game like we used to play games in the 90´s: No guides, try, fail, learn and reach your goal. People seem to don't mind me being like that, even tho I noticed a lot of ragequitters, FFXIV wise, not only on Brynhildr.

About the RP, what do you suggest, Siwy? I see a lot of people talking about RPing on MMOs, but I never really got to see it.

Oh, and you can call me Demi! ;D

This server is kinda like a small town, very laid back and friendly, but still has people who can kick buns with the best of them. I cannot think of a single person in our community whom I truly dislike and I'm very pleased I joined this server. If you do end up joining I'm always happy to make new friends, just look for The Cook :)

As Demi said, unfortunately via Duty Finder, you're often matched up with people outside of your own server. Albeit, it's all the more entertaining when you have a good group and then DO find someone from Brynhildr. That being said, we have our FCs too that are very high-level, high-end game focused, and then there are many (such as mine, and apparently Demi's?) that are more laid back with a great spattering of high-level and helpful players. You get a nice assortment here, I think.

As for an RP session, don't know unfortunately how often if at all that happens on Brynhildr. I'm sure some groups do exist but I personally do not know of any. Sure people would be up to starting one though.

I'd be down for starting an RP Linkshell. Been wanting to do that for a while now.

Yes, my FC is focused on our members needs. We have some end game focused members, but most of us are not. In fact, I recruited 2 new members who are also new to the game and it's been lots of fun, since we are chatting a lot! =D

As for RPing, it would be nice to actually RP instead of joking around. I have 4 IRL friends on my FC with me and since we are very close the jokes are very confusing to people around us! XD

Well, the LS would be great to do, as it'll leave people's FC slot free. Just PM me in game, I should be on tonight around midnight CDT. EDIT: RPing in game usually involves whatever scenario the people involved come up with. Usually this ends up being a tavern talk or political stuff, but there can be Rping during dungeon runs as well. I do it to take a break from the humdrum find this, kill this, fates of the game and develop my current character's personality.

I unfortunately won't be on tonight, but I could probably get in touch tomorrow-thursday for sure.

Ok, I'll see if I can jump on then, prolly after dinner.I'm a Junior in University, so my homework schedule's been pretty demanding this semester. So, what kind of LS do we want it to be?Tavern talk, something that runs parallel to current main story plot (and doesn't spoil it for those that haven't gotten up to 50 yet), political intrigue, etc?I'm thinking a little bit of tavern talk and parallel to the main story to make it believeable. One of the founders of the LS could have the ability to sense others with the Echo, but only when they're within arm's reach. Maybe they made it so that they could keep abreast of the threats of the world that haven't reached the Scions' ears yet, or to keep tabs on those similar to them and hear their tales.Whoever knows, they offer a linkshell to those they've found and trust.Eventually others will hand out the shells, but for now it's just the founders and their dream of a close-knit community outside the confines of the Scions and city-states.

Hello everyone! I am a new player on PS4 and admittedly am used to how the WoW population was. Spamming shout in cities to find groups and for general conversation. That is nonexistent in ARR. I'm just looking for the most effective ways to interact with the community here. Duty finder was a pain as an Archer as it took forever to get a group and then when the healer left 2 pulls in we were forced to quit. That was just Sastasha so that's probably why no one was queued for it. I'm scared to level too much more without running it first. Just looking for some community interaction. My FC has been great just no one running the lower level stuff. Thanks everyone!

Hi Scorp! Welcome to the server, but it's unfortunate you ran itno such a bad experience already. Especially in lower level dungeons, queueing as a DPS can be difficult as there is an abundance of people in those roles all doing the same and not enough tanks or healers. Square put certain measures in place to attempt to encourage those other roles but its not 100%.

That being said, most people shouldn't drop out of a low level. If you have real concerns, I would ask some people from your FC to help, even if they're not running lower level stuff just because they're you're mates and they should. Otherwise you could attempt to start a group via Party Finder and hope enough people join up with you, or at least queue with a larger group (queues pop real fast when you have a tank with you). Don't spam shout but feel free to use it every once in a while, primarily in the main cities.

Good luck though!
