Most Active Data Center?

I'm on Malboro. The Primal block. I'm so sick of 80-90 minute queue times even at "supposed peak hours".

Anyone have first hand knowledge of an actual ACTIVE server / block that PvPs? Be it Seal Rock or even Wolves Den

Malboro last time I checked has the lowest player to content clear and one of the most crappiest marketboard. Looking to transfer.

Would be awesome if they could group that by datacenter. Seems like Mana is getting the most PvP matches, if I read this correctly.

Gilgamesh server (aether dc) seems to have a big pvp community

Weird that you have awful queues playing as an Adder. The Adders are probably the least populated out of all 3 GCs on Primal.

Anyway, if you mean to have shorter queues OP, you should probably switch data centers to Aether. Switching to another world on Primal isn't going to do anything for you. Aether queues are probably a bit better, but I can almost guarantee you'll lose more than you do now, as the Adders are virtually nonexistent and the Flames crush everyone.

Its most likely gonna be the same everywhere. PVP just isnt very popular amongst the vast majority of the playerbase and is nothing more than a footnote for the developers compared to PVE.

My estimate on the Primal Datacenter using "Active in the past month" numbers.

We get instant pops on Chaos all night long :D

Try elemental. I think that's the DC Tonberry is on? Very fast queues and the JP community really love PvP. My matches there were the best matches I've ever experienced in FFXI or FFXIV. The teamwork is ridiculous. And no bickering over who's swapping to healer of you get one of -those- parties.

The only reason I didn't stay was because it was hard to make friends since I didn't speak Japanese :(

This shocked me, Diabolos being 5th out of the 11 servers in primal. I thought for sure they would be last. With it being a small to mid sized server, with almost no interest in its population for pvp, its practically impossible to find an active pvp linkshell nevermind creating pvp premades from the server.

Chaos is a european data center? Maybe the the European and Japanese data centers are the way to go for OP then if all he cares about is PVP and can adjust to the data centers timezone. The NA data centers seem to suck in queues regardless of GC allegiance, most definitely primal does, and instant queues are pretty much unheard of here. The first queue of the night here will generally take an excess of 60 minutes and then if your lucky enough to hop on the queue train from that match the following queues will end up taking 30 to 60 minutes.

Maybe on Maelstrom, but on Flames after 5-8PM EST if you get on the queue train it's pretty much instapop all night unless you are too slow to requeue. I think people underestimate how important it is to leave and requeue ASAP.

It's kinda the opposite here for Exodus. It's a highly populated and casual server, yet there's much less PvPers than there should be.

Most of the columns on that site are sortable. Click on the column, hold down shift and click other columns to sub-sort.

Edit: unless you mean roll up the stats to each DC, that would be a nice feature too. But can eyeball it with the sort method.

Was on mana DC / shinryu recently. Around their prime ques are consistently around 5m (adders) wait times for several hours, daily.

I mean group, as in group together, not order by. It would be a nice convenience feature to see the numbers in one cell pr. datacenter rather than server.

I can confirm. Queues are significantly better on mana. I moved to Chocobo to check it out.
compared with chaos:

Problems:
Language barrier.
Latency (I kinda fixed it with WTFast), this is the biggest problem. The more latency the bigger the disadvantage. It sucks.
1M gil limit on world transfer. I spent millions of gil before transferring not to waste em. Not a big problem for me as I generally never need much gil. I also "transfered" a few mills to one of my other characters via market board. I understand why it is like this, 'cause prices on chocobo are much lower.
Slower queues in EU/NA prime time (probably, but queues still pop).

The good:
Much faster queues. Like, seriously fast in prime time.
The retard level is noticeable lower. Yolo level lower. Random pugs can actually think.
Less salt in the chat (as far as I can tell lol,).

All this is just after 1 day, so take it with a grain of... salt.

Aether is really active on the wolves den front. :)
