    Looking for a quieter server.

    From the statistics I can find, Goblin and Zalera have the smallest population in NA. How's the economy? Are there medium houses open on those servers, ever? Is it a lot of RP, or can I avoid that?

    Famfrit's economy/housing market has been really going down the drain lately, plus I'm much more a fan of quieter servers in general. I know Famfrit is fresh out of preferred, and that's why it's so loud, but I'd so much prefer to be somewhere quiet.

    I really don't want to move to Aether, all of my friends are on Primal and I could care less about having contact with the Balmung/Gilgamesh people. I'm considering it at this point, though.

    You might want to wait a bit and see what the new servers on Crystal are like. There's going to be 2 fresh servers, and while "everybody" might move there, everybody also might not since I know a lot of people want more populated servers, and a lot of raid statics are moving off Crystal-bound worlds altogether.

    Im on Siren, and i never switched since i was playing for about 2 years. I think my server is pretty quiet. Relatively ok people. Most like to be at Limsa Lominsa and Rhalgrs Reach. As for housing, i wouldn't know. I never owned a house or apartment during my entire time playing the game

    I'm going to wait until the Crystal split before moving, but I'm weighing my options. I have a feeling the only people rushing to new Crystal servers are going to be roleplayers who don't so much care about raiding, which is fine, but that's not my type...

    I expect famfrit to quiet down again after the data center move.

    Really if I were you I would wait to see how the move shuffles the worlds around population and economy wise

    If it comes down to it, can always make an alt to test the waters.

    Sorry for late response, but if you want a quieter server, Malboro is good. It's on primal and has the exp bonus for road to 60. That's an option for you.

    Edit:
    Rip Just remembered it's going to be swapped to Crystal toward next patch. So I guess the only reason to change would before the exp bonus right now and then get the free transfer to whatever you want next.

    I have lvl 70 alts on both Goblin/Zalera and both servers are very quiet but the MB is horrible. However, once the world visits happen it'll be a non issue.

    Housing here on Siren has actually been filled for the past month. If you watch the market, you'll usually see a small lot open up at least once or twice a week, but it's usually snapped up the same day.

    Nothing at all like it was before Xmas when half the Goblet was still open ><

    No medium houses left here on Zalera, MB is not too bad, just very competetive.
