Fresh transfer, wondering about the server

Transferred over here with some friends of mine and just wondering how things are over here. Looking to catch up on things with the new patch coming around but mainly have a good time with people. However, I don't want to entirely limit myself to an fc seeing as I'm probably going to stick around for awhile and I'd like to kinda get to know people. Wondering if there are any kind of social linkshells or groups out there. If not no big deal I'll probably start looking for an fc but was just curious.

There's A LOT of really helpful FC's both big & small, I've heard about different Linkshells but personally haven't joined many because my FC has been all I need :D
