Hi Quelala,
I'm on Tonberry as well. The numbers depend on what times you're logging on. Most people who use the server are between +8:00 and +10:00 GMT. The peak hours for these players monday - friday are between 7PM and 12AM.

A big Free Company does not make it a lively one. It's for this reason I haven't joined any FCs yet. When I am in an FC I want it to be exactly what me and players like me want and need, which is a good social environment, casual to dedicated gameplay with an eagerness to help new players become seasoned players.

The global/shout chats are mostly silent outside of occasional FC spruiking because using them for anything else is generally considered rude.

If your ping is best on a JP server and you do not speak japanese, Tonberry is the best server for you. Feel free to look me up in-world any time. I am often traversing Eorzea with my resident healer and we're currently both heading toward Level 50!
