I'm thinking of transferring my account to Ramuh and wanted to know what the server is like.

Stuff I'm interested in is;
What is the RMT presence like? Do they do Sea/Sky/Wyrms/Kings etc?
How much is dynamis currency/ancient beastcoins?
What is the endgame like? Which are the big shells? How many people are in DA on average?
What is the JP endgame community like?
Is there much drama/mpk/botting etc?

Any info would be useful.

For the most part Ramuh Server is fairly similar to all other servers as far as your questions go.

For the most part - the only reason to change servers is to be with friends or a particular LS.

Ramuh is the same as all the other servers, but different.

RMT: haven't seen any in sea, they're definately in sky, definately take kings, and i believe they try and take wyrms too.

Dynamis & Limbus: 100s are 800-1200k, ancient beastcoin are about 12k atm

What endgame is like? ... no idea what kind of answer you're expecting on that.

Lots of HNM shells and fierce competition (at least 5+ shells on EU evenings alone)

DA had exactly 98 people in it yesterday for a nq Faf, not sure if that included the GM present at the time. The thing was half dead before it even loaded on my screen so i could target it.

JP endgame community: no clue whatsoever, i don't speak japanese and they never speak english, nor do they invite people that do.

Drama/mpk/botting: happens of course, but this is the only server i have so no clue how it compares to others.

To add something maybe useful:

In regard to the NA endgame, i have heard people talk about how little Ramuh's HNMLSs have achieved in comparison to other servers. These same people cite as evidence the fact that while Ramuh's premier HNMLSs have maybe 3 or 4 fully upgraded relic weapons, big HNMLSs on other servers have as many as 8+. Also, some people claim that NA LSs on Ramuh have not been terribly productive as far as CoP wyrm BCs are concerned (bahamut and ouryu), and have had perhaps more trouble than they should have with these fights. The reason, they claim, is that these shells are often held back by internal drama or poor leadership.

Also, recently i got word that some NA HNMLSs on ramuh were dumping lots of their members on account of players immigrating who have better gear and more useful jobs leveled. Take what you will from this, but if this rumor is true, it strikes me as a horrendously crappy thing to do to one's members.

As for JP endgame, I don't know a whole lot. Had a couple NA friends who were in a JP HNMLS (NOIR) who wound up being upset because the LS gave items to senior members who didn't have jobs able to equip those items. All the while, there were newer members who DID have the jobs leveled and could really have put the gear to use. But i guess whether seniority or utility takes precedence is entirely a matter of the goals of the LS and the perspective of its leaders. I get the impression that seniority makes more sense to JPs, while utility more to NAs.

I don't know if you craft or intend to level a tradeskill, rizzle, but there's probably a direct relationship to the cursed gear market and the productivity of HNMLSs. Obviously, the more driven and successful the HNMLSs on your server, the more abjurations they'll be getting, therefore the more demand for cursed items, which in turn, of course, leads to better sales and better price stability.

As an afterthought, i'd like to point out that the very reason you're asking these questions--that reason being, you have the option to move to Ramuh--is the same reason the answers we give here may be rendered inaccurate or altogether wrong over the next few months. Gradually, the servers should start to look more and more alike as people move around.

Stuff I'm interested in is;
What is the RMT presence like? Do they do Sea/Sky/Wyrms/Kings etc?

- They are present in Sky and small HNM. They have killed things such as King Behe, but not for quite a while. They do not bother with sea (if they do, its pretty much so little it goes w/o notice).




How much is dynamis currency/ancient beastcoins?

- Varies, but I commonly see for around 8k each (perhaps a variance from 5-10k)




What is the endgame like? Which are the big shells? How many people are in DA on average?

- There is 3-4 'major' NA HNMls on Ramuh (and perhaps 2 EU? Pixie's and i'm sure there is another floating around.. mabey). Not sure of each individual one's website, but Theafterlife - Darkhearts - CAE (and no not in any particular order of importance -.-;) are probably the 3 top NA HNMls at this time. There are quite a few other end-game linkshells that are more aimed soley for sky or dynamis or limbus etc. which typically are aiming their goals for 1 type of event only as well. It is not uncommon to see 5-6 shells gather in DA but wouldn't be uncommon if only 2-3 showed up (depending on day, time of day, etc).
I've seen 30 people during a claim just as often as 100 in Behe/faffy/aspi zones. Each of these linkshells have their own priorities, some would assume go to a ground HNM even if it was on their normal dynamis night or Vice Versa.

What is the JP endgame community like?
- JP do take down large HNM's but not near as often as the NA - EU do. They have in the past, but are seldom seen on the larger HNM grounds anymore. There are a mix of JP in the Eng and Eu HNMls tho, but very few. I still do find JP doing some bigger HNM on occasion (like Hydra), but typically (not always) its several JP linkshells joining together in friendly comradeship with each other.

Is there much drama/mpk/botting etc?
- I'm sure every server has a crap-ton of endgame drama/mpk/botting, sadly but true.

Any info would be useful.
- Not to say there isn't other end-game type ls' on ramuh, but quite a few use Guildportal.com as their home websites.

edited for spelling -.- found too many so i quite fixing it >.>;

Are you serious?

There are assholes everywhere. Overpriced? The prices match a decent range of prices when compared to other servers, check www.ffxiah.com if you don't believe me. Every server has RMT. The whole RMT business depends on being on every single server.

Maximizing profit is the most important thing in business right?

Also, learn how to type and use punctuation properly. I assume (but dearly hope) that English is not your first spoken language.

GOSH!! Smiley: lol
