Different worlds community, how to know?

[CBellz]

If I were to try to say something general about the servers I've been on/had alts in:

Tonberry - by far the best server I've been on for pugging current content. The last time I had my main on the server (August, week 3 or 4 of Gordias progression) there were A3S practice PFs up daily, with experience ranging from tornado phase to last phase to fresh learning parties. Immensely populated world. However (and I know this is weird to say) the server is strangely cliquey in terms of FC and friend circles. Most JP party finders won't take any english speakers and keep to themselves, so that's about 50% of the population you won't interact with from the get go.

Brynhildr - started on this server and transferred after a short while so I can't say much, but it seemed strangely unfriendly to me. Another friend I know who transferred from there agrees that the "gitgud scrub" mantra is quite popular on that server.

Gilgamesh - again, can't say much because my alt is there only for shits and giggles, but it seems more like a melting pot now than it has in ARR. I see a lot of unskilled/toxic transfers i knew from smaller servers in PF trying to make a name for themselves and can't help but think that they're diluting the atmosphere. The PF/pug scene is massive and easily dwarfs any other NA server, though the skill levl of your average pug is decidedly less than on JP servers.

Sargatanas - my current server. Populated and down to earth, with a decently polite community. A little insular maybe, but people are generally friendly once you get to know them. What surprises me is the humility compared to other servers. People generally keep their ego in check and don't get too far ahead of themselves when they parse high.

Famfrit - server I spent the most amount of time on. It's a classic small server. The marketboard pricing is the most ridiculous I've seen and the raid scene is about as lively as a cactus, though I say that affectionately. It's easy to make a name for yourself on famfrit for better or worse, as nearly everyone on the server knows each other or has at least seen everyone running around in idyllshire/housing areas. Very social and friendly, and definitely a good place to make home as a casual player. Beware the traps in PF.
