Unofficial Server Types - Are there specific servers for social, RP, English, etc.

Can we NOT stereotype servers? Its not nice, it makes them cry.
Also, imagine if we have an unofficial hardcore server, and a new player who doesn't know it joins? Oh god...

Hardcore was in reference to servers where the players are noted to be elitists that often finish content first across all players/servers. On hard mode.

In other words, players whose only goal is to be the best and will spare no time for slower play-styles that feature socializing, role playing, etc. Some elitists are cool and quite intelligent and it can be fun to play with them from time-to-time, but for the most part they are jerks whom have no life and think they are the greatest thing to happen to Eorzea since it's release.


Unless you are trolling... in which case, good day sir! :P

Clearly you have never played WoW before lol; due to the PvP nature of the game there were servers that featured large groups of players (hundreds or more) that specifically played on the server together in hopes of being the ones to complete world/game firsts such as downing the most difficult bosses before anyone else had on the planet.

Like I said, I was just checking to see what kind of server types have been unofficially created, it seems like for the most part there isn't really any thoughtline towards certain servers being for specific play-styles. That's good, makes me feel like I can stay where I am and still have a fairly easy time finding good social-type LinkShells.

I am not trying to stereotype any server, but since others have taken to designating certain servers for specific playstyles, I would like to know what I am getting into. I certainly wouldn't mind it if all the servers had an equal helping of RolePlayers/Hardcore/Social-types, but this is hardly the case. Hence why I asked. I for one do not want to be on a server where there is a complete lack of socializing because everyone is 'playing for keeps', so-to-speak. Also, if there does appear to be a server with more couples on it, I think I'd like to at least consider it as my fiance plans on playing eventually (2.0)... assuming she will still agree to give it a go when it comes out. Some of my best times in FFXI were playing with LinkShells that were comprised of couples and friendly-types who loved helping others. I like to help people as well, and it starts with getting help so I can get to a point in the game where helping others is not only viable, but a positive success.

Sorry for causing any confusion, I certainly dislike stereotypes; however useful they may or may not be.

I would actually like to see that. The fallout would be hilarious.
