Wow, read this whole thread.... I'm glad people haven't been put off by others who would try to accomplish exactly that. I have been committed to coming to Ragnarok since they announced it. I'm an American married to an English lady and living in the U.K. I never had a lack of people to play with while I lived in the U.S. but once I moved to the U.K. the issues started, even back in FFXI. FFXIV was 10 x worse. I was quite happy to hear that SE was dedicating a server to EU players. Here we are now and we'll see how it goes. I'm currently seeking a Linkshell that's English speaking, based around UK/EU/GMT time, or at least has many members that play during that time, is multi faceted from social to end game content. If anyone knows of an excellent linkshell, please let me know, here or in game.

I look forward to meeting you all. Sincerely,

Uzziah Jehiel

and I believe I can send regards from my wife:
