Most of my friends play on Tonberry, unfortunately, it's heavily congested, and often closed for new registrations or transfers, hence why I had to sign up on a different server. Also, my internet is garbage, so adding a higher ping on top of an already high ping would have been madness

My advice would be to find a decently sized english speaking FC, that's what I did, and even if I don't join them often cause they're on end-game stuff, there's at least conversation going on that I can understand.
