Ask Jim Telos. His ls is always recruiting.

Lindblum, Mysidia, Cornelia, and Besaid are relatively popular servers. There was a decrease lately from other games coming out but in like 2 weeks there will be more people on from patch 1.20

Wutai has been consistently near the top of the chocobo scale.

Besaid is a RP server right? RP servers scare me :P

Unofficially. There are no pve, pvp, rp servers for FF. Besaid was just dubbed the RP server at launch to kinda get most of the same people onto the same server. As far as popularity, Rab is actually a pretty popular server. You've probably got yourself tucked away in some nook in Gridania, don't you? lol. Head to Ul'Dah no matter what server you are on, that's where everyone is.

You have proof of this? I have been playing on this server since I started, and I have yet to run across RPers, but I se a hefty population. Seems the forums here have a bad epidemic of assuming

Learn from the error, hop over to besaid my friend. Send me a tell, I will get with you and aid you.

Indeed, yes, Besaid is the unofficial NA RP server, as designated by the FFXIV Roleplaying Coalition.

However, you're right in that, unless you seek them out, you often don't see them. They're not going to pester the non-RPers. They're pretty respectful people. Many non-RPers simply choose Besaid because of its active community. It's a great server.

I started on Rabanastre in open beta and first week of launch, and didn't like it. I then created a character on Besaid and never looked back.
