I have to agree with PlaZma; Japanese gamers are friendly and polite; they even feel bad when you ask them to join a party and they have to decline because they're doing other things in game. They are also helpful; I learned much of what I know about the game by chatting with them in game, especially before I found this website.

I also agree with PlaZma's other point: this is a BETA. The idea is to test out bugs and other problems. One of the main reasons that I'm not a very high level right now is because I've been participating in a BETA, which means that I try and make things not work, not just go around and level up like mad. We have a checklist of things we need to test that need to be fixed. It's not all just pure play (though it can be in some respects).

That said...I'm really looking forward to playing with you all in the NA Open Beta!
