Howdy all. I quit early 2005-ish (joined at NA PC release), had a 74 THF/NIN (never saw a real point in hitting 75), did sky and other HNMs like Nidhogg and such. I've been thinking about coming back for some time now, as insane as that thought is.
I'm curious as to which server would be a decent one to join? Obviously people will have opinions based on their own experiences, but it's those experiences that will matter. In general, I'm looking for a server with a lower ratio of drama and jerks, and preferably one that hasn't been totally ransacked by inflation or RMT (1M gil bronze subligar? no thanks). Basically just a server that has a relatively easy-going population that might be conducive to building a character again without having to worry about getting into squabbles every hour.
To forestall a few questions/notifications, I'm very familiar with how the grind can be in the game (or at least how it was for the year+ that I played), and I know it's different from WoW and such. Not overly interested in doing HNM again (though sky might still be fun eventually). I'm more interested in building up a character again to test my skills like I did before (soloing Aquarius, duoing Adamantoise, tanking Lord of Onzozo, etc.) Keep in mind that I'm not necessarily looking to do the exact same things again, but that's an example of where I was in character development and where I'd like to get back to the general area of.
Servers with decent social/character development LS's would be nice as well. I don't want handouts or free rides, but having some people to chat and perhaps xp with would be cool. The only servers I'm not really interested in are Asura (previous server) or Remora (where lots of Asurans transferred to at one point). Oh, and if someone does catch my interest with their server, being able to get a world pass wouldn't be amiss- though I certainly wouldn't expect it.
Thanks a bunch for your time.
