ya. the FC i got in with after awhile of searching are all strangers when i first came aboard. some were in Brazil, U.S, Canada, and a few in Germany that i play with in my FC. the England ones are not always on my time when i do log in. which is fine. when i do get on with them. when asked for help from either person. we go and run if we are not busy. we all want to be in a stress free environment enjoying the game how we see fit. so just keep moving and you will find what you are looking for.

when it comes to groups and cliques though. some have been together playing since meeting in FF11, WoW, and further back in the years. i met a few groups that stayed together since ultima online was a thing. they have been together for a long time and enjoying FF14 now.
