I normally wouldn't have recommended Coeurl, but with the cross-world party finder now making it easy to find parties to clear even savage raids, there's really no reason not to come to a small server anymore unless you're playing specifically to meet new people and socialize online. Coeurl has only a few truly dedicated crafters, so our prices are quite high and crafters can make a pretty penny. One of the crafters from our server actually hit the maximum cap on gil, so...

Not to mention, we also have housing available. Because it is a small server, you can achieve your dreams of a medium (and probably as soon as Stormblood hits, large too) housing plot very easily on Coeurl. And there are plenty enough FCs that I'm sure you could find one that well suits you. We're definitely not an hugely bustling world like say Balmung or Gilgamesh, but I feel like there's enough people here that it's not boring or dead.

I feel like people from Coeurl tend to be very sarcastic though, so if that's not your cup of tea...
