New Player?

Or galka!!! They are hecka ugly.

Ramuh is a nice server, alot of helpful people and easy going linkshells

I really can't recommend Garuda. It's the smallest server and finding lower level parties, which you'll been needing soon, would be easier on a more populated server. But if you do decide to come here, there are a lot of friendly players around.

Alright guys, I'm officially on Siren. Thanks for all of the help, and if you have any tips, feel free to PM me or leave it here, I'll more than likely check it. (Or send me a whisper in game if you're on Siren)


Thanks all, Good adventuring!

MMMhmm I havnt had any problems with rude people yet. Just some lazy ones here and there. Just watch out for Rowland if you decide to come here.

Edit: fail, you made up your mind already ><

Can anyone post that elvaan joke? The one where he falls and misses the floor or something?

Take care and make sure you pick the best race applicable to whatever job you would like to start levelling. If you've enjoyed levelling magic types of jobs in the past, Tarutaru are a great race to go with, and mithra/hume are a nice middle ground as well. Elvaan are a bit weaker in this area, but still workable. If you like being in the middle of things, Elvaan are a great race, with mithra/hume again, being a nice middle ground. I'd advise against picking a Galka. No offense to any galka mages out there, but the cost of gearing a Galka mage is probably too high for a new player. Also, watching your galka run is unbearable.

There are a few jobs that are better to level than others for a new player, especially from a melee point of view. If you wanted to post what your interests are, I'm sure other people in the forum would help you out in this aspect.

Also: If you are just picking up the game to start playing new, I'd strongly suggest you try and rope in an RL friend or two. I have a bunch that play with me, and although we are in different linkshells, it definitely makes the game more enjoyable.

Same here. Sadly, though, it seems like Elvaans are the most picked-on race in the game, which I don't understand at all. I've even been told we are drop-dead ugly...ah, well. To each their own, I guess. In any case, I am Elvaan and proud of it. 8)

Elvaans just have odd lanky proportions, I think mostly their neck and arms. The females have really pretty faces though, and I like how they wield swords. D:

Elvaan F:

After seeing that picture.. I regret checking in on this thread.

This is delayed, but...

Really every server is basically the same. There is no "Professional server" so to speak. You can expect generally the same thing from every server, give or take on AH prices by a few gil or something.

And as for Siren being statistically the best, you can check achievement ratings on this site, the people registered on Siren have the highest average, I believe. There was a site somewhere that tracked them all but I forget which one it was.

Also, Siren is pretty much undefeated in Besieged and is one of the most active PvP servers, among other things.

Elvaan:

If its not to late, Midgar has alot of new-semi new friendly LS's, and its community i fairly hopping. I can say seraph WAS good 3 years ago, but 3 years... Yeah.

Right? I'm sure there are highs and lows that come with being an elf as with all races, but I've never noticed the lows since I'm far too busy looking awesome at all times and reveling in having the highest STR everrr. Also we have delightful hair. Everyone else but tarus look like their hair was glued to their heads/foreheads(mith) unfortunately!

When I was active on Seraph, things were fairly HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE between HNM and other end-game things. Can't really speak for how it is now, but at the time SoU just botted the *** out of everything imaginable.

any server except valefor*

avoid like the plague

don't come to asura

Come to Asura

Fenrir is a great server :). Very balanced and lots of good people. Plus if you like PvP, Fenrir still has a lot of ballista fans on it (including myself)

Now I will have nightmares after seeing the body builder.... send it to Rowland... he will make it happy!!!
