Looking for English speaking server (EU)

[gigi_frana]

Hello, me (SCH) and my two friends (PLD / WAR) are looking for a decent server in the hope that server transfer will be some day enabled.

What would some good options be, and why?
Thank you.

I'm from NA but I've been under the impression that most people on EU servers speak English.

You are wrong, atleast most people can speak and understand english at same point (my grammar is shiny example). However most germans and french players dont want (or dont know ??? ) speak with it , thats could be done due we remember just germans and french who dont speak english and dont recognize these who do. Also Its true that on shiva there are a lot of FC recruiting shout in german.

to the OP :
if you dont mind stay at shiva .get to "Mor dhona" inspect some players on their FC and try to /tell to their leaders.

I don't know about FF14s EU servers but in most other MMORPGs it can be pretty horrible. Most can speak english but not very good, you just can't communicate properly. There's also more isolation going on; swedish guilds, polish guilds, russian guilds etc.

And that's just on an average server. Picking an EU server is like throwing dice. Some countries dominate the servers and I remember one time in WoW when I was looking for a good server to join I ended up scouting a server which almost exclusively had hungarians (I think). Most LFG's and Trade comments were in their language and some had "LFG X.. HUN ONLY".

It's a problem because many big "MMORPG countries" aren't very good at english. Russia & Poland are two major examples. Germany and France, well, there's a reason they get their own official servers in just about every mmorpg. Of course, this is just generalizations of my own 10+ years of mmorpg experiences.

I personally prefer NA servers because even although I don't speak perfect english, I feel that I can communicate much better than on an EU server. But more importantly, what is up with the 1000 character posting limit??? That's like five sentences!

On our current server, Shiva, it may be that 95% of people can speak English, but most of the shouts and party chats (if you make a premade for a dungeon) are made in German.
Also most of the announcements for FC recruitment.

Bump, still waiting for a few options / replies.

During beta there was an unofficial thread suggesting uk and english speaking players go to moogle, so you might want to try there? I'm on Ragnarok and it's been ok, just the occasional FC recruitment shout in german or french.

Cerberus is perfectly fine

Depends if you are looking for "English" speaking or "EU English" speaking ie UK players.

Most of the NA/EU servers have english speaking players, but many don't have very good EU player bases.

Ragnarok and Cerberus are both EU designated servers, not sure what the ratio of English speakers is on either of those though.
