why i made this Thread ??so all new players that join...to figure it out what server suits them best.



Now as the thread says : Wich server suits me best ?

Since im new as well....Il just ask the most frequevent questions :

1 -Wich server is more populated ?

2-Wich server is more Eu/KR/NA ? (whatever is ur nationality and the sever within your time zone range........because u need events to be in ur time zone)

3-Wich server have a better comunity ?from forum side of view.

4 - What server is rather new/or more stable- cheap Economy ?

5 -All server runs events on same time zone ?


Hope you can clarify/and the nexts players..on this.

    There is only 1 server but there are several shards.

    This to me is a pretty hard question to answer directly as most players would be more biased for the Shard they are playing on, or at least I would assume.

    I do like Dragon because I have seen various languages spoken and to me that means it has people playing from all parts of the world hence all time zones are covered. And most importantly I have not really encountered real bad players with long epeens so far. I did say so far though.........

    I only have played on Dragon Shard. I only play one toon on one Shard/Server ever, have no time to play more then one character. I am sure that there are some players that have played on more then one and would be willing to give you a better answer then I.

    Stay away from Beholder. It is a den of scum an villainy. Just the way we like it.

    Considering the shards are eventually going to merge. It really wont matter what shard you choose.

    Indeed stay away from beholder, we behold everything you don't want. The beauty is in the eye of the Beholder.

    Beholder - shy, strange people!
    Dragon - Reddit + consistently lowest AH prices.
    Mindflayer - self-proclaimed pvp elitists + RP'ers.

    At a guess, I would estimate Dragon has slightly higher population, followed quickly by Mindflayer and Beholder a little way behind.

    Honestly, it does not really matter which shard you choose. Pick one, pick all! There's no real sense of "shard community" like there would be "realm community" in old versions of WoW or something. The main reason being the implication by developers/admin from the beginning that all shards would be merged Soon (TM).

    All servers are hosted in the US (with global proxy options) so shard choice should make no difference from latency perspective.

    Just because someone did a drive by fondle on you does not mean the Mindflayer is an RP server. :cool:

    All shards are on one server all are in the same time zone PDT In the US.
    They will all merge eventually so there is no differance.

    . . . . . All the Shards are the same server, which is a single server based in California. This is their multi-layered server technology, allowing them to have "servers" inside of servers. As others have stated, PWE/Cryptic plans on merging all the Shards some-day and are only here to ensure game loads are evenly spread about the server, as a whole, while the game is still in its infancy (it is just over a month old).
