which server is more north american based?

I was just curious if there was a server out there that was more north american based specifically the pacific north west i'm currently in the Karnak server and was wondering if there is a way to transfer my character to another server if there is another one that is more north american based....

no server transfer. if you want to get on that server, you will need to re-roll

you really have not done much you can get all that stuff within a few days. When i reroll for the 2rd time i got to my Char within 2weeks that having a lot of 20 and 30 and craft. Right now i'm not even playing. My gf pc been having bad luck lol first one pci express broke 2# mobo same thing and now PSU broke and turn i 3rd mobo for a new one and getting new psu lol.

But ya you can reroll you have not done that much.

can multiple character slots be in diff servers? in other words can the slot under this char. be on another server? If thats the case then maybe i'll just make another character in my second slot in that server. are there a lot of casual players and casual LS groups?

Yes, you can roll another character on a diff server and still keep the one you have on Karnak.

Your best bet is probably to find a linkshell in your timezone as opposed to a server. It's an international game, I am sure there are only very few exceptions but most servers are pretty evenly distributed. The servers aren't categorized by time zone like other MMOs with region locked servers.

Due to the forums for each server being hit or miss, I would create the character on a server, choose Ul'dah as your starting city, and ask around. If the community is not to your liking, or you cannot find a decent LS, delete the character and repeat on a different one. When you find one you like, you can keep the character, or recreate it at your city of choice.

I admit it is a long, tedious process, but you will be getting first hand knowledge and you will not be dealing with as many trolls.

The only difference for rolling Ul'dah is the storyline, otherwise you can get there easily enough and set your homepoint and then go about your business.

Ive rolled in every city so far and i have to say as nice as it is to have all the people in Ul'dah i enjoyed the story in Gridania (for as far as i made it anyway =P) than i have in Ul'dah

For this i found it a lot easier to either go to the World forum here in the lodestone or go to the eorzeapedia site ( http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/ ) and just check out the forums there in the world forums section and that would be the best bet. It helped me find a LS within just a couple hours of checking the forums and logging on

Well, since the majority of the community is in the area, it is the optimal area to start in for the purpose of checking the community. If you had looked just a bit further into the post, I mentioned recreating the character in the city of your choice after finding a good server.
