Most populated and Active server?

Thing is it's almost irrelevant what the status of your server is, since most of the time you'll be going into a party via DF, with people from other servers. With all the good things (finding parties fast) and the bad things (game feels like a hub game) this brings. If you're lucky, you may find a cool FC and do content with them, but from what I see/hear, the FC are quite silent, each of the guys being busy doing his own DF stuff, without the need to ask cooperation from his FC mates. Exceptions are rare (Chimera, Hydra) and soon to be eliminated (both fights will be present in the Duty Finder). Basically, you can be on an empty, lifeless server and you wouldn't really know it.

I disagree. If you're using DF for endgame you're doing it wrong. DF is mostly used for leveling dungeons and CT. Party Finder is where it's at along with linkshells/companies/statics. That being said, Excalibur is very active during EU and NA prime.

True, for super high level stuff PF is better. I stand corrected.

The point of being on a populated and active server should more or less be related to a need to complete fates for whatever reason, as well as having access to a marketplace that is being utilized by a large active player base.

Finding a good FC is just a bonus, but also not guaranteed, I'm sure there are servers that don't have a single decent FC on them. I have met several good FC's on Hyperion though.
