most populated server?

[R3ap3r]

hi i was wondering wich server has the most population , i heard gilgamech and balmung are the 2 highest populated servers but im not sure wich one if them is the non RP one? i know one of them is RP server , im looking for the non RP.

Also if this is wrong and they are not the highest populated , let me know what server is because the information i got isint that recent so it might have changed.

Balmung tends to be considered "the RP server" and is indeed among the most populated. However, there is still a large population on Balmung which does not RP nor even attempts to RP.

Balmung is the server with the highest amount of roleplayers, of the two. I believe Gilgamesh has a roleplaying community as well, but not nearly at the same level as Balmung.

You won't find better prices for goods anywhere else, though.

i see thanks , is the diference in population considerable in the two ?

Just look for the server that is always closed and you can't create a new character on....like ever lol...which that would be Balmung.

I found a site which indicated Balmung had about 24.5k and Gilgamesh had about 17.2k and they were indeed the most populated servers. I don't know how precise it was, the site appeared to be created by the Japanese so I can't really tell exactly how they're coming up with the numbers. Either way, take it with a grain of salt.

alright thanks all

Another thing to consider is that a lot of the stats are based on characters created, not necessarily characters logged in. (Which is why other servers could have more characters than Balmung, but Balmung is always "full" of active connections).

...it must have been opening here and there lately though, because there have been a few new flocks of bots all stacked on each other.

If you are thinking of Balmung, Gilgamesh or other servers for RP, you may find making an account on the RPC helpful. Most users are on Balmung, there are listings for Gilgamesh and others too.
