  • Melody's Server Switch~Questions Concerning It

    Hey guys, just found out my 90 days are finally up from when I jumped to Sylph back in December. I've been wondering what server to join. Sylph has gone down the toilet for me and I think it's time for a fresh new server to join. Here's the list of server's I've tried and didn't like.

    Phoenix - Economy/Money/Business = Main Priority, this is like this for all XI servers but Phoenix takes it to an extreme. 1.2 Mil for Warp I. No thanks.
    Sylph - Too much drama here, not enough helpful player base. Money talks, shit walks.
    Valefor - Decent server, lack of friends makes it hard to get work done.
    Asura - Home server, where my XI life began, too quiet for my taste. Lack of socialism kills me.
    Bahamut - Came here for awhile, found it to be okay. Finding an LS is hard though and it acts like a mix of Sylph and Phoenix. Not my cup of tea.
    Cerberus - Cricket Cricket. Need I say more?

    I don't want to sound like a brat and be like picky and tip toeing around the servers I like and dislike. But each one sets off a pet peeve of mine (like all servers will eventually) But the biggest one is lack of help/ignoring. I dislike that, XI to me seems to be a community game and everyone seems to have forgotten they were once newbies too and thus ignore the lower playerbase of new comers.



    I want a server that isn't like "YEAH WE LOVE YOU!" But I want one that is like "Hey how you doing, how was your day?" Then like if you ask for help, you're not sitting in Jueno for 3 hours shouting. I'm not saying I'm going to get a button and have like OnStar of XI come help me right away, but maybe within 10-15 minutes of waiting, get a decent amount of responses. But sitting in Jueno for 3 hours shouting for a Tele-Mea is ridiculous. I even went up to 15k for the reward.

    I have friends on Sylph yeah, but most of them are scummish and only want something to do with me when they gain something beneficial from me, like gil or if I am farming seals for someone. But I know for a fact NO SERVER is perfect, but I would like to find one which I could mold myself to and stay around on for a year or two instead of being a nomad and having to hop servers. I make mules and I check out other servers. The next stop if Lakshimi or Bismarck to see if I can find Crimson Crusader members one or the other. I'm also on the hunt for Tsumakiri from Titan server, but that means I'd have to peel back Phoenix just to find the man. So that's out of the question. So if someone can help me out here that'd be nice. -stares at the pile of Crysta- I need to do something with these...

    For what it's worth, all servers are basically the same. The trick (and it can be hard for some) is to find a good group of people to play with.

      Pretty much this. It's not the server, it's the people you know. If you don't know some cool folks to hang out with it's going to suck no matter which server you choose.

            Aren’t half the people here on valefor ‘taking breaks’?

            Anyway, my mind is blown about this whole topic but…here’s my 2 cents none the less.

            Here’s how you should base your decision
            Do you have any RL friends or in-game friends? Then join their server and play with them.
            Do you not have RL friends or in-game friends? Then pick any server at random and you will eventually get some. All servers even out in some way/shape/form.

            Phoenix - Economy/Money/Business = Main Priority, this is like this for all XI servers but Phoenix takes it to an extreme. 1.2 Mil for Warp I. No thanks.
            Maybe I read this comment wrong but…

            just checked FFXIAH.com on my phone.
            Phoenix – warp I – 40k
            Phoenix – warp II -500k

            I did some hardcore research on this. And after many many long hours of searching. Here’s the warp quest in a nut shell
            -Talk to NPC
            -Buy item from AH or farm it off weakass lvl 27 mobs
            -trade item to NPC


            Iunno…again maybe I misread the comment.

                  I can't help but feel that there is a common element in all of these issues you're having.

                    Murphie you may be right my friend. But I am on Valefor now, and it seems comfortable enough. I got invited to hang out with Ryuakago's group. So I'm there if you guys want to hang out. My IGN is Melodica.

                      Re: Melody's Server Switch~Questions Concerning It

                      Question--in an earlier thread, you stated something about your girlfriend playing; is this no longer a factor in where you are moving to? The thread I am referring to is the one about "gil trading" (RMT). I suppose this goes back to what Romyro was saying; are there no ties left in Syph for you? It seemed like you were getting a decent amount of things done from your previous sig.

                      He is also correct in that many of us from Valefor "are currently on break"-- as for me, the bulk of my time was this time last year when I first rejoined the game, and I leveled/did stuff up with Murph, Meridan, and some others. I've more or less quit and return multiple times since then but I have no current interest to return. This isn't me saying--"hey, the game sucks you should quit!" I simply do not like where the level 99 content direction is headed (thanks a lot, Tanaka.) but it may be a non-factor to you and a multitude of others.
