Highly populated servers vs. low population servers

[myahele]

Which is better in your oppion?

I am at Zalera and there arent that much people here compared to other servers. So far I am enjoying it, but for end game and market which would better in the long run?

If your having fun then it really doesn't matter.

[Impurrrsive]

dont worry, ppl lvling fast to lvl 50 or...is it?
join FC or linkshell and it will be easier in end game

I have an alt on Zaleria, and I hate it personally. Feels too much like a ghost server imho. That said, if you like it no need to move. If you get into a guild that can sustain itself, then not much to worry about.

I'd prefer sometihng in the middle high pop servers means more lag in open areas, and low pop servers means harder to form in-server groups (though the duty finder somewhat compensates for that issue)

Yes Duty Finder is a big help on low pop servers, although for people doing their relic quests...and trying to form groups for Chimera and Hydra must be a real chore, as DF does not help with those two parts of the quest line.

I think lamia is a low pop server. Our crafting market crashed for an entire 2 weeks because of 1 person.

Also 2 fc's selling titan kills pretty killed any titan groups in MD. I ended up buying the kill myself because . . . literally nobody else was looking for titan. And I gave up df after 3 days.

This kind of stuff would never happen in a high pop server.

I've been wondering for awhile but what exactly did this person do on to crash the market on Lamia? Sounds pretty serious o.O

Actually sorry it was more like 2 people but they were kind of separate incidents. One of them sold hq ilv70 gear for negative profit. By that I mean selling 9 philo mats would get you -almost- the same gil as a hq piece, except the philo mats obviously sell much faster. So there was no point selling crafting gear. Back when the philo mats were ~30-35k, there was a guy selling hq gear for 280-300k.

The other guy got really upset at people bashing him in MD so he decided to craft hq gear for free . . .

I put up a vanya casting robe for 320k for 2 weeks, not a single buyer. I decided to just donate it to a fc mate after giving up.

Ah, I guess that's another low population server problem. Sorry to hear
