EU Players - some questions about your server (considering switching)
I've been half considering changing server but, before I make my mind up, I'd like to ask a few questions if I may.
A bit of explanation first: according to XIVsoul.com, my server is the second most populous worldwide, but there seems relatively little going on and even the "experience only, **** group" type runs seem to wind up disbanding pretty quickly.
Due to various scheduling issues I can't join a static team at the moment, so I do a lot through DF/PF. I'm no elitist and will happily spend a bit of extra time while someone asks questions or learns a mechanic. In fact, learning parties often have the best atmosphere. However, PF is usually fairly sparse on my server - at least 50% of the groups are just ATMA farming or FATE leveling groups and it's rare for the total groups (including the ATMA-type ones) to go past 7 or 8 at once even during prime time.
Since I'll be constrained to PF for at least a wee while, I'm curious as to whether my server is reflective of other EU ones. If you could let me know which server you play on and answer these questions that'd be amazing :)
- How many groups for difficult content (EX Primals, T5+) are usually up during evenings/weekends?
- Are there lots of learning parties as well as ****/farm?
- Do people tend to stick to those things? ie. Do you regularly find people joining learning groups and ragequitting or joining **** groups while having not seen the fight before?
- Do you often see PF groups offering TS/Mumble/Vent access to improve communication?
- How's the general community?
I like my FC a lot and I've made a few friends on Lich so I'd be wary of making a hasty decision. But I enjoy Full Party content more than anything else and feel like, overall, my server maybe doesn't share those goals. Which is fine, but I obviously want to play somewhere where I can get involved with more stuff despite the sporadic nature of my work schedule.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)
