Considering transferring, have a few questions

[Valath]

I'm wondering if this is a highly populated and active server with a thriving endgame community. It seems that way to me from the forum, but I thought I'd ask the natives their take on this assumption I've made before committing. I ask this because I'm from the Faerie server, which is small, and I'm not satisfied with the very limited options of raiding FCs at this time, and also is not a good prospect for 2.2. Though I have some friends there (I could make an alt), I'd like to spend my $15/mo by actually getting to find people that can competently clear challenging content as quickly as possible, focus, be punctual, be decent/fun, and have a reasonable schedule (around 6-9 cst start times). I am a i90 warrior, i89 drg, i86 pld, i86 brd, and i84 monk (and all DOMs are about i73-74). I have at least 5 months of clearing 1-4, but because of limited opportunities and bad luck with finding a solid group, I've only done t5 up to twisters, as a warrior off-tank and bard.

If you are looking for competitive endgame community, I don't think this is a server for you. But we do have many groups that have T5 on farm now. You can see most of the famous FCs in this thread: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...sion-Thread-V3

Valath --

I'm not really sure that I can speak to the "thriving endgame" community -- but there's never a shortage of groups on the server. On Mondays after reset, there's usually over 25 parties recruiting for Coil/Extreme modes. On the other week nights, it's more like 15-20 groups of varying experience and success.

As a shameless plug, my static group is looking for a tank for the next few weeks and 2.2. We've cleared Turn 5 numerous times and only raid 3 hours a week. We're a gaming community with chapters and players in all sorts of games. I'd love to talk to you about raiding with us if you make the move. You can also visit our website at http://www.sohguild.com/ Best of luck!

I am part of an FC and we have been slow to get members up to 50 and ready for coil so we have been using PF to find groups to run coil... We fill it every week without any issues... Usually we raid on wednesdays but we have done them everyday of the week... There are always groups looking to raid...

Like any server, the majority is hard to rely on endgame. However, I can say compared to horror stories I've heard from other servers, we have it pretty okay here. If you're looking for a new home when you transfer, <The Royalz> need a tank and 3 DPS to complete it's raid group for Monday. We expect members to be respectful and take criticism well, always willing to improve. Feel free to apply.
