Hello everyone! I haven't played on the Quetzy server since the initial release of FFXI in America. I was only on the server for about a year or so and was known as "CC" (My Tarutaru's name was Magicc). I highly doubt there are still players floating around that remember me but it doesn't hurt to throw the name out. 
I have been playing FFXI on and off again for 3 years and have about a year under my belt from release. I'm also a plant admin for Shamrock Fluid Plant and an on again off again college student. Thanks to recent business loss I'm finding myself with a bit more time on my hands. This time has shown me the slower side of Carby, the side that can't seem to get things done... I don't like to sit idle long in the game and farming can only entertain one for so long.
Anyway, I found this forum while I was trying to look up server information. I just came back to the Carby server after about 2 months off the game. When I returned I found my social/event shell was gone and all of my friends were no where to be found. I have been back now for a little over 2 weeks and have seen all of 5 of my friends back on and even then they were not around long (3 of them even jumped servers). My post here will be two fold, one I wanted to express my interest in a server transfer (as I do miss my old home at times) and two I would like to get a feel for what the community is like.
What I mean by this is: How active is the server during the daytime/evening hours in America?
Right now I'm having a horrible time trying to get any leveling accomplished on any of my alts jobs from lvl 14 to 63. I'm seeing nothing but Japanese parties going up w/o invites for the English players. I'm also getting shot down trying to invite Japanese people over to parties. This is starting to become really frustrating to me and I would like to know if these problems persist across servers. I'm also interested in knowing how driven the community is when it comes to completing missions. It took me the better part of 2 years to get rank 6 Bastok and almost 3 years to get sky access.
Is there a small or large population of people willing to have JP/E parties on the server or is it segregated like it is here for the most part? Do you have a relativity active lower lvl base as well as higher lvl base population or people willing to sync down to the lower lvls? What time frame would you say the server peaks in activity?
I'm sorry this was more of an ask 100 questions rather than an introduction post. I would like to make an educated decision here since it's going to cost me an extra 25 bucks next pay cycle if/when I make the leap. Leaning on more of a "when" since this server seems to be so inactive now. Hardly even see Nyzul groups going anymore.
Thanks in advance,
