So I rolled up a free trial character onTonberry as I did research and saw that was the most heavily populated with Australian times. However despite seeing plenty of people in peak Australians (and even working on fates with them), not a single person has even said hello. What's the deal? Is it because I'm a free trial person? Is it because they're likely Japanese and don't speak Ebglish? Or are the people on Tonberry just plain rude?

If it's language barrier/rudeness, is there a better server for me to be on? I live in Sydney so my internet connection should be fairly good (it is ADSL though). But I hear Aussies have a lot of issues with NA servers, and I'm also worried about no-one being around given the times I play (early morning American EST).
