Need help finding a server.

[KaivaC]

So i finally got some friends to try this game and they love it. the bad news is, i am from Balmung. so i need to find a server for us all to transfer to. Just looking for advice on what server are active, what type of communities they have and whats the housing situation. (having Shirogane housing would be a huge plus)

Thanks for help in advance!

I think for our datacentre, pretty much all worlds are currently active. I can only speak for Siren, but we're pretty chill on here. The novice network is actually very helpful (I'm a mentor) and generally, you'll find somebody doing something. Can't really say the same for raiding - it's rare that I run into another Siren raider. I'd have to say a good chunk of players are essentially laid back.

If you guys like hunting, the multiple hunt linkshells do communicate with each other and tend to wait for more players as long as they know more people are coming. The first three city states are pretty well populated as well, even Ul'dah, surprisingly. Housing is a nightmare, like most other servers, and the free market is actually decently priced compared to other more populated servers.
