Asura has a large NA population. It really depends when you'll be playing.

I wasn't begging for help or anything, I was just wondering if we can get a guild or clan or whatever it is in the game... I've played world of warcraft before but it got old after lvl 31... so I was just wondering if we can get a guild or clan early on to help us figure stuff out.

You should be able to find social linkshells on any server that will welcome newer members. For the most part, FFXI is heavily community-driven.

Brisko, Posted: Nov 4th 2009 7:06pm, Score: Sub-Default, [expand] You should play on Chocobo Server. That's where all the best players are.

You can pretty much join any server. With a few exceptions like Odin, if I'm not mistaken that server is over populated and can't join. I was on Ifrit for 3 years and it had a lot of NA players, now on titan it seems to be the same just not as many. Like I said you can pretty much join any server and no problems.

You should join Siren. We've never lost a single Besieged since it was first implemented. Cuz we bad asses like that.



And there are some pretty friendly people on it as well. Lots of NA too during most times of the day.

Once you pick a server, you can try posting in the Server Forums and ask if there are any social linkshells open to new members.

Good luck and welcome!

WoW has you join servers based upon your physical location. The time I tried it, I was placed on the "North America, U.S. West" server. Needless to say, there wasn't a mixture of... nearly every time-zone; I'm not sure how you met Germans and Japanese people on WoW, especially since there's no support on the aforementioned servers for JP characters...

Server Population Distribution

You can reference this post. I haven't updated it since October 30/31st I think. But it will give you a general idea. The first 19 are the original 19 servers the game started with and probably has a higher population between Europe/North America/Japanese players. The ones below that are probably mostly North American/Europe/not many Japanese. It's up to you what you want really. An inactive server has it's advantages just as an active server does.

SE doesn't release statistics for individual servers. However, the third-party website FFXIAH.com has data available which gives some insight into the differences between them.

Player Excenmille recently posted thread containing a tabulation of that data here with some discussion:
