I'm playing on a JP server. Unless you're planning to do the one subscription option that restricts you to one server, I don't see why more people don't do this. Yes, we all want to advance our main characters, finish off those class quests, open up new content to enjoy it, and talk to our friends. But seriously... you *can* play. So just shut up already and play. Create an alt on a JP server and make new friends. It will give you somewhere to go later on when your server goes down for emergency maintenance or when everyone in your linkshell/free company pisses you off and you need a time-out... or you just want a quiet evening to play, free of the daily linkshell drama.
