Which server would you recommend?

[Antera]

Hey I am planing to start playing this game for good and want to chose good friendly server with as much activity as possible. (also with friendly community) ^_^

The most active server you're going to find is Balmung. It's hard to get a character made on it because everybody and their brother plays there.
Following that, I hear servers like Cerberus and Phoenix are also very active. I don't remember for sure, though.

I'd also suggest Balmung if you are heavily into roleplaying as well. (Personally, I don't, but I do enjoy watching them. : P) Like Keydah said, it is very hard to make a character on the server. However, if you do join Balmung, character creation for it is usually open early in the mornings (which where I am from, 5-6 AM Central Standard time).

If you chose not to got to Balmung, I heard Faerie and Lamia are very friendly communities, but their servers aren't as populated like Gilgamesh (also a very hard server to get on) or Balmung.

I recommend Balmung. Very active, very friendly. It's also the unofficial RP server, but worry not. I never RP there and still there's a lot to recommend.

If you're in the US, I usually recommend trying to get in around 4am (or just after maintenance) on Monday through Thursday. Note that you should always check the in game server list for which servers are open/closed: it updates by the minute, while the website updates only every few hours. Like Keydah said, it's a bit difficult to get on it.
