Did I pick the wrong server or..?

Sadly RMT tells aren't going anywhere anytime soon especially because its P2P & doing well atm. Best you can do is Blacklist them, when you get a /tell you can right click the name and "Add to Blacklist". After a few weeks go by feel free to clean out some of the names starting at the top, they only use them for a short time then make new ones.

You can also report the names of the spammers if you want (though I've kinda given up doing that personally >_>) by going to System->Support Desk-> Contact Us->Report Cheating/Harassment

So to answer your question, no it doesn't matter the server you're going to get those tells no matter where you go. But I've noticed when I've made alts I get WAY more tells as a low level character starting out then on my Main (I still get them, but not as many). So that might be another reason you're getting so many right now.

Hope that helps & you enjoy the game. Try not to let the spam tells ruin your fun! ^_^b

Thanks for the tips, good to see there are some good people in this community! I played WoW when I was in high school for about a year and dropped it then I went to EvE online and I've been there for the last 5 years haha, I felt like going back to the fantasy and there's no doubt in my mind Final Fantasy is the place to be!

Lol. But I have to make a minor correction...
This is a Malboro:


This is a Marlboro:


The warnings for them are a bit different...


After dealing with the first a lot you may not be as fond of the second. Malboro's have been known to cause low-grade PTSD in addition to all the other status effects.

Thanks, hahaha. Also, when I think in Malboro I also think in the cigarrettes, even if I don't smoke, it's just like "Ouch, Malboro?!... That's a very smokey server!"

Hope to see you active in the forum few weeks, but right now first thing is go enjoy game and do a nice leap of faith wherever you can!
