I play on the Lich server in the EU datz centre. Since I started this game last summer, I have never come across total arseholes or self ritcious pricks. Infact, bar the odd heated exchange when wipes are happening, people have been pretty welcoming and friendly. I would hazard a lot comes down to just how small we are compared to the larger data centres in the US and JP.

In these forums I see a lot of complaining about standards of players, but it always baffles me because I have very rarely seen it.


When I use to play WoW, you would get some pretty annoying people, which I put down to a much larger player base and more immature players. I have also played a PvP based MMO called Knight Online and even though it was a US based server, it is massively popular in places like Turkey and Peru, in net cafes and it's seriously toxic and corrupt. So I think FF just has the right mix with the EU data centre.
