Since update to preferred worlds...

[SummonerSenah]

I actually just transferred from Balmung to Goblin for the express purpose of buying a house. Walked right up to a house in the Mist and bought it; there was no competition and no "This plot is not yet ready for purchase" message that's pretty common elsewhere. There were probably at least 4 other houses in the Mist, and even more in Lavender Beds and the Goblet. Shirogane is the only one that was full.

I had also checked out Marlboro before deciding on Goblin. Marlboro had less open plots in the Mist and no open plots in Shirogane, but Lavender Beds and the Goblet had lots of houses as well.

Honestly, I have no regrets. Goblin is a lot less crowded, but there's still enough people to make it feel lively. More so during peak hours than off hours, but that's true of any server.

I am strongly thinking of switching to the crystal data point.
