Some friends and I recently got into FFXIV but, with the game down, are trying to figure out which server to join. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? We would like a server that has a decent enough economy and some people to play with. We don't know anyone who has been playing the game for a while so we are in need of a friendly and helpful LS. We're leaning towards Gysahl, Besaid, or Istory, but are not entirely sure which. We are not RPers so that has us a little iffy about Besaid.

I personally played in the beta and enjoyed it then but found the UI to be laggy. I see it's since been fixed.

Thanks for any help and suggestions!
