I am Australian and want to play with Australians. I actually wasted 1 week of my 3 weeks holiday trying to find others in my timezone only to find that Masamune and Tonberry were locked to character creation. I found they are usually opened at like midnight Sydney time and locked in peak times. So my suggestion is to make a 2 characters split all professions and classes between them and keep them on your high pop server so that when its locked youve got 2 that you can play.
