It depends on the server. I stayed on Mateus for a short time that had a decent population but the people in some FC were cold. A friend invited me to Balmung server. Balmung was overpopulated with so many people and it's heavily RP (role-play) and most of them were high-leveled. Fortunately I had a friend who helped me for a bit. But my friend maxed ALL of his class levels, so we didn't really play together much except setting up a FC together to just chat. Then I was having problems with the long queues trying to get in Balmung. It was then that another friend wanted to buy the game and play with us, but Balmung had character restrictions because it was just too full, so I decided to try yet another server just so the three of us could start over with new characters. I went to Midgardsormor and found myself to be completely alone. The server was very quiet, even empty and lonely at night time. So I have my frustrations too trying to find a good server.
