Most Active Servers?

[Naria]

The thing is, outside of the behemoths like Balmung and Gilgamesh, Sargatanas is one of the more active NA servers. It is also one of the oldest as a "legacy" (1.0) which can be an advantage or disadvantage to new players. Moving to Levi would put you on the Primal datacenter but nothing I've heard suggests that their queue times are any faster than Aether's. I'm guessing if you are complaining about queue times your group doesn't have someone playing tank which is the real secret to fast queues although having a healer usually cuts 50% to 75% off of the usual queue times.

As far as recruitment for your FC goes if most of the other players in your FC are also lower level (sub 70) you are probably going to have a bit of a hard time recruiting on any server since I doubt your FC has built up enough recourses to offer the things that most veteran players will look for in a FC like housing, higher level daily buffs, raid groups or other high level activities. Transfering would require you to start some of this over from scratch as well. Specifically, how are you trying to recruit people? Are you looking for a certain type or level of player? If you are looking mostly to recruit newer players like yourself, moving to one of the preferred servers might be better. How many active players would you consider "enough"? Keep in mind endgame in FFXIV usually only requires 8 players max (if endgame is a goal for your FC). What are the leadership's goals for the FC?

You might have more success trying to build a social linkshell first while leveling (or joining one) in order to build up some relationships with other players and get a feel for groups in this game. Many of the the FC's in this game tend to be smaller (b/c of the small groups needed for most endgame as well as the trust and resources needed for the housing system) but it isn't unusual for several FCs or just individual's to come together to form large social linkshells to supplement their FC's.
