Every week? I think you mean everyday.

I couldn't even imagine trying to shove RPers on that server, it's almost at 9k.To be honest, I only know of one person who was actually advocating for it and the FFXIV subreddit had a pretty bad backlash against them for it.
To be fair, most RP related stuff that hits the the main reddit gets a lot of backlash. Â If it's the one guy I'm thinking of, who posted tried pushing it on reddit a year or so ago, well, he tried to match scorn with scorn and that escalation never goes well.
The Mateus post was interesting. Â It dipped hard into the negatives when it came out, then someone gilded it and it swung back to positive. Â Most of it was the OP's persistence, infectious enthusiasm, and he was constantly positive despite the hate he initially got.
Cactaur was my home server for a good while. Â It had a decent but casual / quiet RP community while I was still there a year or so ago. Â There were probably around 200-400 characters split across three linkshells, and a bunch of PVE folks that would dabble during hunts / etc. Â It's not closed, but it's not empty either. Â I still have a character there, but the SO and a bunch of RL friends play on Balmung, so... it is what it is.
It's a larger server, yes, but it's one of those questions. Â Do you want your PvE structure / support there already, or do you want to build it more or less from scratch? Â A gathering / crafting economy that's busier or less busy. Â There are good arguments to either answer on any of these and it's really up to the reader to determine what they're looking for.
It certainly won't get the bonuses for leveling on a low pop server though.
It's not about what kind of server you want and mostly about if you added like... 500 more people Cactuar is probably gonna get locked down. Not really a good candidate.
