Need help finding a server.

Hi,

So i finally got some friends to try this game and they love it. the bad news is, i am from Balmung. so i need to find a server for us all to transfer to. Just looking for advice on what server are active, what type of communities they have and whats the housing situation. (having Shirogane housing would be a huge plus)
Thanks for help in advance!

Please help.
Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
