Australian Community ? where?

Australian Community? or JP
Hello, I'm from Europe but recentely moved to Australia so it's very hard to me follow events in my fc, and in my server too cause its a EU server ( Ragnarok )
so wondering where, in which server australia community play mainly, looking for a skilled FC, for coil stuff!
thank you

From what I've been told, Tonberry has a good Australian population.

Ya Tonberry and Masu... something are the unofficial oceanic servers.

I recommend Masamune. Loads of aussies everywhere.

ive been to masamune but lots of JP is like impossible play with party finder, confirm?

We have a great fc on Behemoth.
The Armada.
And a decent aussie playerbase.

I am an Aussie on an NA server (mainly because I had NA friends from 1.0), and seem to manage. It's quiet at night times but you usually catch a few insomniacs that live in the states.

Aside from that, I made a Guildwork community a long time ago that is pretty much a ghost town these days but most of them are on Tonberry & Masamune. (A good 200+ members were in the community and they all split up on those 2 servers).

The players from that community that decided to go to an NA server opted for Sargatanas & Behemoth.

Hope that kind of helps.

mainly was looking for a coil static aussie evening, in ragnarok looks like impossible lol

In that case you may want to consider a JP server since time zones are so similar, try to look for one with a decent english population. (Not too sure which does though.)

Im at Gungnir i think Im only Australian in this server

There are aussies on other servers just more likely to see them turn out during aussie night hours.

Im in australia on Hyperion, we have an FC/LS with some aussies and kiwis

Citizen of Tonberry here and I think you'll find Tonberry to be the perfect server for you. It's about 50% english speaking players and 50% japanese players. Majority of the english players are from Australia and South East Asia while there are a small number of us from NA and EU. Also there are a number of large english FCs (300+ active members) such as Mirai (the fc I'm an officer in), Reven etc. If you're looking for a hard core FC that's focused on progression, then the number one progression FC on the server is LVN.

The only thing I have to warn you about is the fact that DF is mostly Japanese players. As we've been grouped into a Japanese Data center, you'll find yourself usually in DFs with Japanese players. PFs during prime time usually average about 20-30+ so it's quite an active server. Your biggest problem i think will be transferring in. You're gonna have to wait till server off peak hours to actually transfer in.

Hope this helped!

QFT.
I am also on Ragnarok, but living now in Japan. Impossible to do ScoB :/ The only way I found is to do it via PF, but impossible to progress on T8 with this.

Tonberry is awesome. There are a lot of Australian FCs, we are actually mixed with lots of people from SE Asia. We are still the minority, and there are a lot more JP than ENG speaking FCs.

Tonberry or Behemoth were the unofficial servers of choice for Oceanics at 2.0 launch. There are a large number of Australian/NZ/SEA FCs on both.

EDIT: personally I prefer Behemoth as it's NA and we pick up a lot of late shift US/CAN players as well.

I'm an Aussie on goblin na if there are any other Aussies on goblin feel free to hit me up

I started on Brynhildr on the Primal Data Centre (the same data centre as Behemoth). Endgame became impossible to complete at the end of the day because of massive latency issues. I also tried rolling an alt and checking out uA on Behemoth with the same issue. I moved to Tonberry in April and haven't looked back.

You need to be ready for the fact that the Japanese do play the dungeons differently. Some Japanese groups will speed run. A lot won't. Running Coil and SCOB, some free companies run static groups. My FC is looking to put groups together that run t5 (for some of the newer players), t6 and some that run through a weekly clear of t6-t8 and practice t9 together. A lot of people look for practice parties in party finder and after getting some decent practice, they change to clear parties without being in an organised static.

If you're on Ton and I'm around - feel free to send me a /tell and I'm happy to talk some more or make some other suggestions.

I'm an Aussie on Ragnarok but I don't do Coil or anything, I just do my crafting. *Waves then goes back to knitting*
