Hello to all the readers,
I am thinking of changing server. Currently my home is located at the Remora server.
I find that this server has to much Astral Flow Burn parties and backstabbing people on the server.
I was wondering if people could give me their opinion about their current server.
In other words, how do you experience behaviour of the people on your server, how are the NM's camped,
are there enough linkshells for endgame events, and how much do they AB in there.
I know you cant ever really say 'this server is better then xxxx server', but I am just trying to get
a couple of replies in here which might help me decide what server would be best for me and a couple of
my close friends.
I hope you guys will leave a reply!
Thanks in forward =3
Good evening :P
Hello Warbringer,
I could only comment from my experiences with my server. In my humble opinion I feel that the player environment in Valefor is pretty mild, in a good sense. We have anywhere from 900~1300 people online during different times of the day.
It has been said that regardless of server, your experiences within FFXI rely heavily on the people you associate yourself with. Personally speaking, Valefor has its fair share of the HNM community, with a full spectrum of different types of personalities. Much like in real life, there will always be the person who you don’t want to have anything to do with; then again there will always be the really down to earth sweet person.
There is always discussion in linkshells about the activities and conduct of members of another. Words are sometimes exchanged at HNM camp locations; most of the time from the same people that you expect to say those types of things. As those types of behaviors are expected, most of the time they are tolerable granted that no one within your home linkshell enacts that type of unacceptable conduct towards you or another fellow member. Again it comes down to who you associate yourself with.
I have spoken to a number of my close friends regarding this and we have come to the conclusion that the relationships that you build in this game highly depend upon the nature of the relationship. When participating in a HNM shell, most of the time you are there on business, you part of a community who is set out to win. When the events are over, you have to ask yourself is repeated exposure to this type of environment for you? If not, perhaps seek a social shell just to unwind so that you are refreshed and ready for more HNM. Sometimes this helps with the daily grind.
I have been on this server since my introduction to this game years ago, and although I can say that the player population has changed for sure, I personally have made my own contributions with sharing a linkshell with other acquaintances that I have come to enjoy being around. I personally strive to try to maintain the Vana'diel that I have always known and loved.
Best of luck you to; I truly hope that this helps.
