I feel your pain on trying to get a character on this realm. It took some patience and timing to sneak in, I'm really grateful for it.
So far, I've liked the community here. For the most part people are open to discuss things and listen. I got into a few linkshells and have been slowly networking my way around. It's very different from what I'm used to. The ecosystem here isn't so fragile and sensitive, just has way more cats than usual.
As for the game, I don't think it's fair to compare it to PSO2. The combat here is very deliberate and in raid environments it's quite pleasant compared to 'I hope to gott my latency let's me get out these keybinds and doesn't skullfuck me for it'. You have to be precise and plan ahead more than react on the fly. It's very good MMO combat. PSO2 is more of a nod to action games and having the perfect PA set up to apply the most damage at once without getting killed in the process.
As for moving a character and then hoping for the best? Well that's really the risk in a lot of things, isn't it? It largely what you make of it, in every trash heap of a community there's hopefully some gems right? Having moved around a lot myself, I learned you can't force a community to work for you, you'll have to adjust to it accordingly.
I wish you the best of luck! There's a lot of people on here, ask around and don't be afraid to change your mind a little if the need comes up. The first people you meet might not be perfect for you, but if you look around you may be quite surprised.
