I ended up being forced into a JP server on my 1.0 character due to never getting an email in regards to a server transfer. During Phase 4 Beta I was dead set on transferring servers all the way up into 2 weeks into the games life cycle. But now I'm pretty attached to the server and the FC I'm in and I don't really want to leave now. The community as a whole has been nice and friendly even if I can't understand them we still help each other out.
