So I made an ARC and played for a couple of hours on Tonberry to get a feel for the server earlier. My conclusion: I'll be moving my main char there next week. I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of spam in shouts in town, I didn't get a single RMT spammer sending me a tell. There was also a fairly healthy amount of English in chat just as people have mentioned here. Latency was pretty good and will only get better once I make my irl move to Asia. This server has won me over, so I'll be seeing you all in game next week sometime.

PS. If anyone is interested in a full Darklight, Relic+1 Bard I'll be looking for a FC once I make my move
