Balmung I guess, all the other servers feel dead, doesnt help the fact that the game is already pretty much a single player mmo. Also its kind of cool going to Uldah and seeing like 50+ people role playing on the streets, in any other server you would be lucky to find more than 5 people in all Uldah combined.

Balmung is a ERP server. Ultros is the GAF'D meme where they provoke NeoGAF for being shitters and floor kissers.

Anyone from GAF agrees that GAF is shit?

Don't fall for it. I unsubbed at the end of 3.1, just came back, blew through it in about 4 days of casual play, and now I'm done with the exception of the obvious 0.5% clear Savage stuff.

Just watch the Ozma and Nidhogg fight. He was honestly the easiest Extreme primal in 3.X

Oops, you are right, I did not finish SephEx, and I am interested in that fight so I will actually get back to that one. Void Ark is certainly not worth a wipe, I did actually Duty Find for Mhach and we wiped to Ozma 4 times thanks to dopey healers, but still beat it in time.

Gilgamesh is the NA raiding server but there's a bunch of dumbasses who obsess over raiding (it's like Sargeras on WoW)

Balmung is the NA unofficial rp server, not too much erp mostly cringy weebs that are annoying and narcissistic

the other high-medium pop servers are all decent. I heard faerie is kind of shitty, I don't know if this is true. I play on leviathan and the server is a solid medium pop server.

>>
>>341392385
you have to spend money to manually transfer to balmung since character creation is next to impossible (mainly due to everyone creating alts on balmung).

most of the people on balmung are either the same or worse than players on other medium-high pop servers.
>>
>>341392385
You have a well thought out lore for your character already made. You actually care about the lore of the game and are not looking for a quick erp session. If you are looking for a quicky, you're willing to learn about your partner's lore and willing to spend at least 3 or 4 hours per sessions just to rub one out.
>>
>>341392941

>If you are looking for a quicky, you're willing to learn about your partner's lore

I know you're joking but if we peel away some layers from who these """""roleplayers""""" are, you realize they do little more than do a 1 hour character background dump before offering to suck your dick because in their mind that makes it legit roleplay instead of shallow ERP.
>>
>>341392941
I've been playing ff14 for around a month now and I honestly don't find the lore that interesting. Most of it is just a variation on past final fantasy lore renditions.

I think you need to go beyond the lore and try to create something unique for your experience to rp correctly.
>>
>>341380809

You know, that outfit the Miqo'te is wearing appears in the promo art a number of times, but to the best of my knowledge is nowhere in the actual game. I can place the rest, more or less, with existing outfits, but not that one.

If you want to do the RP/ERP thing you can find it, but there are more people playing for the content than /vg/ would have you believe. It's not like when you get in a dungeon someone is gonna try and make you roleplay a story with them.

The RP stay in their areas and 90% of the time I have zero interaction with any of that sorta thing.

Is this like, your first mmo rpg ever?

>>341395607

>genre has gone to shit
>the fault is with the community
to answer your question no, I've been playing mmos since I was in middle school (2007) and the so called "death of mmos" already happened years ago. WoW's degradation specifically is the fault of Blizzard, and mmorpgs are such a big investment that other companies either don't pursue them or fuck it up initially. That's what is causing the actual "death of mmos".

Socialization decreasing is the result of most players being experienced mmo players and not needing to talk to other people or work with other people to progress. it's the exact opposite of what you think the problem is. more new players would be much better for the mmo community.

>>341397330
No man, I agree that the golden age of mmos was mainly because the genre was new at the time, but the problem lies in all the new mechanics as well, why would anyone bother to communicate when mmos this day reward solo playing? For example, in any other mmo pre 2010, if you had to do a dungeon you needed to actually look or form a party constisting mostly of people you didnt know, nowdays? Click on the dungeon finder and they will form the party for you.

Don't play FFXIV. Play ESO. Unless you like bad games.
>>
>>341397763
dungeon finder was a necessary evil and implemented improperly. being able to do dungeons without any sort of attunement in WoW was a huge mistake. the duty finder in ff14 is much better as a result of attunement being necessary for accessing dungeons/trials at the unlocked level.

if you played wow before dungeon finder was a thing, you knew the difficulty in finding a party to do level appropriate dungeons. it would take way longer just to assemble a group for a simple dungeon like wailing caverns, and then having everyone assemble at the dungeon was annoying since no one had mounts until level 40. dungeon finder solved this problem and was regarded as a very useful addition at the start.

the mechanics are the same for the most part, and most of the new mechanics actually reward grouping up with other players while the past mechanics penalized grouping up with other players somewhat (quest drops are only obtainable by one person with limited spawns on a long spawn timer).

I actually bought ESO as well like a month before I started playing FF14, I kinda liked it from what I played but I dont know, I guess I lost interest, combat in TESO is leagues above FF14 combat though.
>>
>>341398748

Doesn't all servers have bad gil spammer?
>>
>>341398556
if you like bad games, play ESO. I played it for a while and it is a waste of time (honestly preferred modded skyrim over ESO story quests). everything is 100% theme park while in FF14 you have sandbox aspects like crafting/gathering to balance it out. FF14's graphics are way better than ESO's graphics also.
>>
>>341398872

Nah, both Gilgamesh and Balmung are pretty much free of that, im guessing its the same with servers with high character creation restrictions.

>>341386710
I thought this was normal? I just guessed every server was like midgard with the number of bots.
>>
>>341398970
Thats actually quite an advantage, since they basically murder most of the lore, its like playing MGS5 wtihout playing the rest of the series.
>>
Can I enjoy Balmung with 0 interest in RPing, but I want to be a part of a community?
>>
>>341398683
Yeah, it's the unofficial Oceanic server the way I understand. I checked one time out of curiosity a long time ago but don't remember. I'm in the US and it's honestly not that bad. Pretty manageable but maybe since I've played on JP servers since the beginning I'm just used to it.
>>
Excalibur, Leviathan, Gilgamesh and Balmung are all high pop iirc
>>
Who here has 2+ different characters at 60?
>>
>>341399131
Sure, its the most populated server for a reason, if you create a character there hit me up, I just moved there myself.
>>
Should I transfer or make a new character on a new server?
>>
Come to faerie anon, we have the highest portion of lgbt community so you'll fit right in!
>>

you're better off getting a minimum wage job to get $18 than redoing the entire game again

Leviathan is pretty cool desu

>>341399196
What this anon said, add Ultros if you want to play with fellow autists
>>
Famfrit. Small I think but cozy
>>
I play on Mateus, i think it's literally the smallest server in the game but i could be wrong about that. I don't really care about doing stuff like Coil or Alexander Savage, so it doesn't bother me that there aren't many groups for it here. There are plenty of houses, we get a lot of people for Hunts and Extreme primals and a healthy amount of new players. It's pretty cozy, i like it there.

I don't know what the meme is for our server but I think it's fine and medium-highly active

Honestly gilgareddit was the best server before 4chan moved in. Randoms were cooperative and social. Now that the fags moved in everyone gas reverted back to being extremely antisocial and selfish so they don't have to deal with the flood of autists who want to start drama.

I feel lost then, it seems like all servers are bad. Where do you play?
>>
>>341402003
With chrome, click on more info or advanced or whatever and scroll down. There should be an option that says proceed (unsafe)
>>
I really don't give a shit about end-game raiding so i stay on a really low population server. This is the only MMO i have ever played so sometimes i wonder if i'm missing a lot by not being in one of the most populated servers.
>>
>>341403239
>cat tank
Should have just left immediately. Taking the 30 min penalty would have probably been faster.

Ultros is the most fun! Join Ultros!

Before i moved to lev i was on faerie. Don't even go to that server anon.
>>
>>341392295
Trial only goes up to 35
>>
>>341402650
I tried using that for a while and honestly I couldn't tell the difference. I saw people were getting banned out of nowhere for 3rd party software and that's all they were using so that's another reason I stopped.
>>
>>341403402
This game in general plays more like a single player game, being in the most populated servers feels cool because the world around you feels alive, however, the game itself is the same.
>>
>>341402736
i've been on the server for a year and i haven't seen any
>>
This is what you normally see on Balmung for all the people asking by the way, I find it funny to be honest, but I do enjoy the community so i dont really mind.

I regret the time I wasted on this trash game
>>
>>341405052
It's weird, i've always had a knack for writing and i've played game my whole life. The concept of role playing seems very interesting to me but i can't get into it for the same reason why i never joined my irl friends for a tabletop RPG session, i simply can't make that disconnect from reality required to roleplay as a character. If the only basis something has is imagination i simply can't get into it. It feels wrong, i can't take it seriously no matter how hard i try.

Tell me /v/, who's in your FC? If it has too many people simply list the group that is closest to you. Mine has:

>Female Highlander Bard
>Male Hellsguard Warrior
>Male Sea Wolf Scholar
>Female Dunesfolk Monk
>Male Plainsfolk Bard
>Female Duskwight Black Mage

talk to people or look in the party finder for FC"s advertising

>>341406081
No idea, i'm still on Trial rn, can't whisper. I'm just genuinely enjoying myself, I've never ever been able to stomach an MMO. If my good friend hadn't just picked me up a month of WoW time to try and get me to play the game with him I'd probably never been able to stop playing FFxiv. Plan on playing woW with him when he's on and FFxiv when he's off, but we played a fuckton of time WoW today so I'm taking a brake.

People are super chill though, been invited to a few FC's, not able to respond but it's nice that that's there, and I've done quite a few quests with other people around.

This anima grind ridiculous.

At least after I get all my Eso ingredients I can start investing in Aether Oil.

How do I make 8 million gil in about 2-3 months? Will just daily roulettes/beast tribes be enough? Nobody in my FC is a crafter and there aren't enough of us to run Diadem for items.

Disgusting. Why on the hell would I make a catboy when I already have a brown femroe?

Depends on your server.
eg. I need 34 dusk sand for a construction project. They're 14K a pop on Tonberry which is well below what Id consider justifying the time investment, but that said I don't have 500K just sitting around to just buy them outright, so I've been gathering then myself.

I also need to level miner to gather astral moraine/red quartz/a bunch of other shit, and to somehow find 25000 company seals to buy the remainder of the metric fuckton of hardened sap I need.

I was even a Highlander for my first month or so of playing, come to think of it. But it's better this way.

I've just been buying grade 6 dark matter and ventures to keep from capping. Have over 400 each right now and at like 48k seals. I don't really need money either since I'm not planning on doing any relics or anything and have around 17 million gil.
