I share a similar story except I have no desire to leave this server. However I also started in April 2014, moved to this server from my previous to play with friends, and so far I enjoy it a lot.

I do see a lot of PF's up for learning ST's, not so much Final Coils. Hunts wise we are very active, a buddy who helps me run my very small FC started his own linkshell for hunts and we've had a lot of success spawning S-Ranks when the window opens. If you do come here find your way into Kirim K Ultra hunts, Okami Elite hunts and Lanna Hunts, those imo are 3 of the top hunt ls's out there.

If you want to see how we're doing on the end game, check out this thread(its a few threads below yours on the page), they've been tracking which FC's have been able to complete the end game content.
