This server has a horrible community gluck with it!

Yeah leaving this server, no one speaks in any of the zones barely or is friendly...or doesn't speak English at all...what a waste of 3 hours...def would advise if your not joined here yet don't! stay far a way from this server it has a horrible community imo.

Thanks for the tip. I think I'll go ahead and stay anyways.

I dunno, seems chat is filled with guys offering gil cheap in all the zones ... that's pretty friendly :p

I don't think it's just your server....

I've actually have found most people on this server to be friendly and very talkative. Even so far as to travel long distances to revive a stranger. Maybe you were just on at a bad time? 3 hours is quite short for judging a sever. I've also been seeing some very friendly FC's recruiting. Maybe join up with one of them.

I think every game is what you make it out to be -- community included. You can join a FC with like-minded people, or if you're really picky, you can make your own. You can group up and immediately make friends -- learning who the good ones are and the ones that are utter tools. I don't think someone not speaking the same language you do should really bother you, honestly. The majority of non-NA people are far more enjoyable on average than your average NA'er.

So far, I've enjoyed every second of my time on this server. Regardless, best of luck to you and I hope you find what you're looking for. I just have a inkling that you won't. Life is about what you make out of it, and a video game is no exception.

My experience has been the complete opposite. Most people I've encountered here have been both friendly and helpful. At the very least, much more than I can say for my last server I came from.

Even by acknowledging a desire not to deal with NA you may be making a mistake; no sense getting caught up in self loathing either. I've been fortunate enough to have a global outlook just due to the programming work I do for a large corporation, and I've never had the ability to isolate north american or any other nationality. It's great that a game has such clear divisions between NA, EU, JP, but life doesn't frequently enough. Heck, the game doesn't really either, but on these forums it seems easy to fall into the trap.

Anyone that knows in three hours how things are going to turn out ... is locking down a conclusion.

It still seems funny to me in this game how little talking there is in the duty finder or the game in general, but I think I understand the nature of it. People play on PS3, and I do think Famfrit has a higher non-English speaking contingent than it lets on at times. May be simple explanations.

I liked on this server that it seemed a little quieter and politer than the norm, having played through higher population ones. And when I saw what looked like fresh players in the starting zones, I figured this one I would give a chance.

The community is each person's responsibility to shape in the way they wish it to be. Silence and tacit acceptance will allow any community to be over-run by the chat trolls etc. Whereas a community built on mutual respect and fair play will build itself.

Famfrit saved my life!

That was a Hi-Potion.

Switching to Framfrit saved me 15% on chocobo insurance!

I've had absolutely no problems with the server so far.... I know it's pretty unusual, but even every single PUG I've been in so far has been fine. I hope my luck continues! :D

You know, I have been pretty lucky with this server. Like any other server, or game for that matter, there are good seeds and bad seeds. Try to surround yourself with friendly people and the game itself seems more fun. I have found by trying to find a group outside of Duty Finder is a good way to meet new people. Also, try helping out lowbies who are new to the game. You may have to take the time to help them, but you will be surprised how much fun you can have just by helping.

The level of douchebaggery on this server is pretty low, haven't had direct contact with any bad people yet, only seen one instance of it in /Shout out in South Shroud(I think it was?).

Still give it time, once they start cracking down on the gold spammers in the main cities who knows what might happen. =D

Not sure where you've been, but there's not a zone I don't go to that doesn't have people talking. Don't bother with the three main cites with the gold spamers. I go for quests/missions and that's it. Join a Free Company. I've met a lot of friendly people there.

I <3 famfrit...You will always have someone crying over something with every MMO. From what I have seen it has been great. People have been nice and friendly the only troll like people I have run into is gold spammers.But I come from WOW where gen/trade chat is 89% trolls (and thats being nice) so I will take this community any day of the week!

Famfrit is where it's at, spend a little more time on it.
