Everyone should just make a huge server-wide jump to Asura and make one big "super-server".

You buyin'? I'm not paying square more money. That's why they won't merge, more profit from that.

Paying for your own merging is telling square they're making the right choice. Keep your money, and force a merge.

K. You stay on the most miserable of all FFXI servers then.

I have friends on Quez I'd almost be willing to pay to get them off the server.

IF square does another 1/2 off, that mass exodus may just happen. $36 is just unreasonable *shrug*.

From what I have heard from someone that just transferred from Sylph server is the population there is extremely low. They said Asura has twice the amount of people then that server if not even more then that. If you want to come enjoy the trolls yelling and drama in town then Asura is the place to be!:)

Worse than paying $18 for transfer is paying $13 monthly not enjoying/regretting/etc.

Asura is the "bad part of town" of FFXI.

I see no one told you anything about Valefor.
And that is cause there's no one on Valefor to tell you something about it. Don't bother unless you like intimacy.

We have our fair amount of trolls on Asura but it is also very active compared to most other servers. At this point of the game's life, sadly you don't have many alternatives.

Heh, if I was still playing, Asura would be the LAST server I'd chose to waste my money transferring too with the reputation that server has had over the years. If we're talking alternatives then Bahamut or Odin has around the same or close to the amount of players that Asura has. People need to know they are getting the bang for their buck and not wasting their cash going to a server they can't stand then regretting wasting their money going to said server.


Honestly OP, the only way to find the best server is to do some research on them. Everyone on this forum has varying opinions on which server is best and which is worse, but at the end of the day, it's YOU who has to decide which one you want to use your money to transfer too. Do your research and use your own judgment based on said research. Only way to see the worth of a server is to be on it for a bit. Only then, will you have a true answer to which is the best/worse server(s).

If anyone is looking to come into Odin I would reconsider. The population is high, yes, but because it is mostly JP. I came into this server thinking there would be more NA EU but that wasn't the case. I wasn't looking for shouts in particular, I was looking for friendship and adventure. I made lot of JP friends and I can say that even though we did not speak the same language it was really nice to be around them.

Haha, all servers has the occasional/everyday troll(s), etc shouting for free gil or some random argument over /yells, not just Asura, but I know about Asura and the rep it has and it has problems. Maybe an effect of overpopulation, elitism (SOME NOT ALL so don't get what I said twisted) and clash of egos? :P

That's not entirely true... tryhard elitest would really consider Odin.

It's kinda going to that point where servers have different reasons to go to them.

If you purely wanted the population/faces/shouts you'd go asura, if you wanted anything else, you'd have to find the server that fits what you're looking for. Which is the point of this thread.

Not actually knowing for sure, Asura really would be the most reasonable server... I think it has a little bit/enough of everything.

Asura isn't the end all be all server. Odin and Bahamut have just as high population as Asura.

When exactly were you on both servers? I've been on them and they have about near if not just as much active people during NA/EU primetime. While I can't remember if Odin had more active in JP prime time, I know Bahamut is pretty active during JP primetime on some days.

Really, all 3 servers are neck and neck in terms of high population/active primetimes, not just Asura.
