Definitely will look on to all those ideas, thanks guys.
Being a European on an NA server is already a challenge, and not in any technical way, more of a cultural. I have tried smaller NA worlds aside from Balmung but there are certain things that are just difficult to escape and the server seems to have lost it's appeal to me. Nowhere is completely toxic free, but I'd say I'm hopeful of finding a decent friendly community on a JP world. I may consider what Llus said and try creating a new character on there to see how I like it before making a permanent transfer. Gonna be strange being lvl 1 again, even if it is just to preview some stuff! xD
