I have only one question: Which server has all the oceanic/late nighters?

Title says it all. I'm one of those people who lives on the west coast, but plays mostly late nights when everyone else except the Aussies/NZ or sometimes Euros are awake.

I really just want to pick a server and invest some time, but I don't want to end up being stuck somewhere where I'm the only one I ever see online.

Thanks in advance!

Behemoth =) But nobody can create any chars there as it is over populated.

I'm also on the west coast and play at 3 am when I get home from work. I'm on Siren, though. I mostly solo, no FC......

Behemoth is the best oceanic server! :D

Full of late night NA players as well as Oceanic players. My free company has a healthy active population round the clock! :D

i generally play til 2-3am depending if i work next day xD but im east coast of aussie :P

Great....so I'm not only looking at being locked out from buying and downloading the game, every store being out of physical stock, but also the server with the most people who play at the same time as me being locked up. Is there ANYTHING else that could go wrong with this game? /sigh

There are no Oceanic servers. Probably never will as the cost is just too prohibitive to support servers located here - as The Old Republic has shown when they closed their Oceanic servers.

I am on Leviathan, not because it is any better than any others - but simply because the name Leviathan can both be said without breaking your tongue and is an actual word not so made up garbage.

Also west coast, also play late night!

Gotta say, we've got a very healthy English speaking population always on at Ultima, and I've heard (during a DF-made run) from a BLM from Tonberry that that world is like an epicenter of Oceanic players.

I think you may have missed the point of this thread. :)

I don't particularly care where the server is located PHYSICALLY. I just want to know where there are going to be people online the same time as me.

Regardless, unless servers are specifically labelled as being designed for Oceanic players even if they are located off shore, we will unfortunately continue to be a divided community.

It is known. The Oceanic community has decided on the unoffical oceanic servers.

NA Server - Behemoth, JP Server Tonberry & Masamune(Legacy)

From checking the official posts, Behemoth is locked out from character creation. Is there a backup or secondary 'Unofficial' oceanic server?

I am unaware of any "backup" oceanic NA server, as majority of the community decided to roll with the JP servers due to latency issues, but I didn't want to have to deal with always using the translation thingies when I play the JP server, so I just stuck with Behemoth. (And there are still alot of players here at oceanic prime time.) Yes, I know Behemoth is hell to get into, took me 3 weeks, but it's well worth it.

Tiamat is 2nd unofficial server and it's currently locked for character creation. Usually it's locked during peak hour

oceania.guildwork.com

the fc in tiamat: oceania-tiamat.guildwork.com

As noted above Tonberry was the first choice JP server for Oceanic - we have a lot of FCs there.

When transfers open up and allow transfers to any of the suggested servers, i might hop on a bird over there.

I haven't even been able to buy the damn game yet, since digital d/l is out and no stores seem to have any stock of the physical game. Guess I'll have to order by mail and wait for it to arrive. THEN hope the server I want is open for character creation by then. Never had a game be so hard to get ahold of weeks after the launch.

Gotta highlight this. Please note though that Ultima server is a JP server so I'm not sure how it'll go with your connection latency but there is a lot of English-speaking players in that server. To give you better idea, you can visit this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...nies-on-Ultima.

Uhg....Behemoth was open when I started character creation, but closed when I finished. /tableflip

Keep trying, you'll get in eventually. And save your character appearance, so you can speed up the creation process.

Yeah, thanks! Finally got in! Now all I need to do is level up and find a FC/Guild
