  Well, im compareing it, it shows on the Character Selection Screen. Ruairi and Tarlach have the lowest populations/popularity.
  I haven't seen that many Royal Alchemists around.

  Isn't that supposed to show how many people are online at the time? o3o;

  I believe Pika is correct, that is only to show who is online at the time.

  Just like every other server, there are multiple sides to groups of people.
  
  Like we have our PvPing campers in dun (which ironically 80% of them applied to royal and got accepted)
  We have our grinders. (which few actually apply for royal)
  And we have our chatters (lolchatters)

  
  
  Same here in the KR servers
  Our server has come to a point where its even hard to see people that seeks help from RA.
  We still don't have any problems gathering activity points though,
  but it kinda makes me wonder what RA's are there for now that anyone barely need'em.

  I hope this isn't what it's going to be like in the future NA servers :T_T:

  Congratulations! :thumb:
  
  I remember when I joined Ruairi because it was the least populated, and Tarlach was packed :stress:

  The Royal Alchemist mission assist function is available not for the benefit of the newbs but for the benefit and entertainment of the Royal Alchemists. If I don't want to help someone on a mission, I'm in no way obligated to do so.
  
  The entire Royal Alchemist system exists to give hax enchants and e-peen boosts to a select few, not to make it possible for weaker characters to get help.

  Isn't it also to get EXP from those G9-G12 missions?
  
  If I remember correctly, a lot of pros became Royal Alchemists not for the enchants or bragging rights, but for the EXP from doing the G10/G11 finales. That itself is already helping "weaker" characters (I had helped stronger, more skilled players that are better than me, as a Royal Alchemist).

  It is helping them, but in truth a lot of RAs wouldn't help random people if they weren't getting a hefty chunk of exp.

  they should add a 1k lv limit to ras :D

  As a royal alchemist, i dont tend to help people, mainly because i struggle to even get 10k nx a week by saving up ingame gold and buying from people, during this time, i mainly try to raise money. Also, the only strong alchemist skill thats helpful in missions as of now is Summon Golem, otherwise finals would be a bit hard for a alchemist. I mean, like i dont have any crazy smashs, of magnum shots or fireballs. I use waterballs, and alot of them. Soon it will be golems, and flame burst. Then G12 Heat Buster and Chain cylinder.
  
  :V I cant really do advanced+ finals besides G10, which is easy as hell.
  Id imagine G12 would be easier, messing with one target rather then four simultaneously attacking you.
  
  I would have golem Rank 5+ by now, if i wasn't working on Mana Crystilization, which is currently rankable to rank 7.
  
  More on topic, ive held my Royal Alchemist Spot on ruairi since the second week after G11 game out.

  Whoa there captain narcissism :<
  
  While it's not required to help people, that is certainly one of the intentions of the system. The RA stands to benefit from it as well as some quests provide faster lvling than any other legit method in the game. Of course, some RAs don't ever help with missions and that's fine .-.

  Just putting things bluntly as usual, Shizu. <_< Not intending to be narcissistic or self-serving in any way; that's just how most people treat Royal Alchemist. Players don't seek Royal Alchemist status in order to be able to help other players -- they strive for the position for their own glory, and for the bonuses it affords to their own play. People getting helped is a complete afterthought, as evidenced by the people who've already stated that most people don't even bother looking for an RA anymore, even on KR servers. If Royal Alchemists were out there actively assisting people and making themselves available for requests, we'd be seeing a lot more party signs up asking for help.
