My Server is dying....

[Malicewolf]

I've had zero issues getting into anything on goblin ._.
Sure, my DPS queue's are longer, but that's to be expected. But usually 20-25 min, sometimes a bit longer.
I main tank though, and that's always fast queue times, so maybe that's why I'm never running into many issues. If it's DF, I dunno why it's so bad for you. If it's specific dungeons/trials, then yea. Some of them are pretty much dead as no one is queuing for them anywhere.

Yes, PF is dead in goblin. Because people simply don't use it. I see groups running around all the time. Most people already have their groups they run around with. You don't HAVE to have 8 people to run around and do some fate grinding. In fact, half the time, I run around and do that solo anyways. Because we're a lower population, many have already found their group/niche that they stick with to get things done. If your FC is no longer active, I would suggest finding a new one. I see plenty of green leafs running around in goblin though. Heck, I saw at least 5 yesterday while I was fate grinding in Coertha's (and that's usually not where you see green leafs). Granted, I would probably say they were most likely alt's and not actual new accounts.

PvP though, yes. I've queue'd up for that for 45 min even with a pre-made party of 4 (meaning we were only waiting for the other team...). But that's simply due to lack of people playing PvP in the first place. Not really the server...

Join a linkshell or a more active FC would be my suggestion.

My FC is one of the most active in the whole server actually, we are usually betwen the spot 15-25 in our server (from 417 FCs in the Goblin Fc ranking) in the FC rank. And i am part of the biggest Linkhells in the game atm. So already have the best the server can offer me in that matters. Maps are desert! Few ppl running around in expansion maps but nothing else. We are even killing A ranks with -8 players cuz noone shows :S

I've hunted S ranks and I don't think I've run into a single one in the last week with anything less than 30+ players. A ranks are a bit more iffy. People won't come running for A ranks, but if they're not busy, they'll come. But I can take on some of the A ranks solo as a PLD. Yesterday, 3-4 killed an A rank. They aren't that tough that you NEED people.

And if you have an active FC and a large LS, I don't understand at all why you are running into any issues... Do you simply never party up with anyone in either? My FC is smaller, but active and the only time I don't run with them is when I'm going through roulette (though, we found that if you literally queue the roulette at the same time, you have a decent chance to get the same one, pending classes). Sure, some maps are empty if you just simply enter it. There are very obvious spots that are better for fate/leve grinding and those areas are usually fairly active. People aren't spread out everywhere on goblin. Try asking people if they want to do x or y. Going somewhere and just expecting people to be there isn't necessarily going to happen on a lower pop server like ours. If you're looking for that, you'd want to go to another server. But I like that I can go around and not miss every other fate on maps because there's so many people running them and all I see on screen is a blur of lights and lag.

Feel free to hit me up if you see me online though (usually online every weekday around 5pm-1am and around 12p-3a on weekends). Though, heads up, I'm not through all content yet. Keep getting distracted doing other things and haven't finished pushing through HW story.

Not everyone on the same page. The same thing that happens when u put a PF and takes 45+ min to fill. Ppl play on diferent ways and have different goals, even ppl from other FCs (bigger than ours) do stuff with us and othewise. Thats not the problem.

People are more spread out through the content. When the Hunts were added previously in a catch up patch, the Duty Finder Q's on all data centers went pretty quite for a long time, then people got tired of the hunts (after gearing themselves) and the Q's returned to normal. This too shall pass.
