Looking for a medium-sized NA server with a close/friendly community

[Lyrinn]

Any recommendations?

o.o Give Goblin a go!

^_^ I've had good experiences with fellow Gobbies so far!

Although, you should really try to find out when prime time for servers are.
For Goblin, I've noticed that it is mainly from about 7pm-11pm EST.
So if you're not playing in EST time zone, you may be hitting off peak hours and the server may not seem as lively.
Personally, I've never had a problem in the ebb and flow of players from peak to off hours. I wouldn't call the server barren in off hours but there is a difference.
^^
Hope this helps!
