A quick about me: I started on Balmung with a few friends when 2.0 launched, we all stopped playing not too long after, and I have no interest in the RP community whatsoever after coming back. I would like to stress I haven't played FFXIV in a LONG time, so a lot of my information is very outdated on tons of things, which is the main reason I made this thread.

So with that out of the way, what exactly do I want from the game? To put it simply:

1. To run my own private FC, with a pretty good chance of being able to purchase a Small/Medium FC House for it. Obviously on Balmung that's probably impossible as I can't even make enough alts now to be eligible to bid on anything.

2. A North American based server, doesn't matter where(even the dead Dynamis worlds), assuming said server's economy isn't also dead, and I can continue to make gil on the market board. Don't quite have enough for a Medium house yet (unless something like these Eastern Cherry Trees sell before long), so a dead economy is more dreadful to me than a dead server.

3. Being able to run content, including stuff I'm probably the last one to get around to doing like BLU spell farming/FATES/Bozja/etc. I have no interest in hardcore endgame raiding, just like the option to have people to run things with.

Points #2 and #3 are what I can't seem to get a feel for myself, as I haven't played since Server Travelling became a thing so I can't say if any server is bad to be on when trying to sell things on the market board, and not entirely sure what I can and can't do PF/content wise if I do move over to a dead world and feel I need to travel to do content.

I don't mind moving to Aether or Primal or even Dynamis, I'm strictly PvE focused and want to be as self-sufficient as possible, assuming #1-3 are doable. Any insight would be a great help(especially from Dynamis players)!
