I play on Ultima (jp) and have found that there are quite a few English speaking people lurking around. My free company is mainly made up of West Aussies! I was pretty stunned at that, when I played ffxi I did not even encounter another Aussie let alone a WEST Aussie. Feel free to check out Ultima. Its a very good world. I think with JP world's is that you have to look for other English speakers. Oh, we're there, we just don't have a huge number. I think perhaps a lot of Aussie's went to US worlds perhaps thinking it would be the same set up as WoW. It definitely isn't. I have excellent ping 95% of the time and quite enjoy my FC. Good luck with the hunt
