which server is more north american based?

[Xariz]

and how would i go about doing that? just google FFXIV north american link shell?

For this i found it a lot easier to either go to the World forum here in the lodestone or go to the eorzeapedia site ( http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/ ) and just check out the forums there in the world forums section and that would be the best bet. It helped me find a LS within just a couple hours of checking the forums and logging on
