    Servers are all located either on the West Coast or the East Coast.

    Though I'm not too sure which servers are located on which server. But server location is in US

    Yeah, it's me. Don't read to much into it, though; I'm only here for myself now, killin' time and chillin' when need-be. So sue me. Tch...

    Dreamweaver (PvE) and Harshlands (PvP) are the two newest servers. They should have the fewest players because of this, but some steady population growth.

    I play Harshlands, so it's the one I'm familiar with. There are a lot of factions, both large and small, some infamous, some kind-of-known, and some virtually unheard of. It makes things dynamic when it comes to the Territory map as factions fight to gain land. The older servers have... more stangnant territory maps, from what I understand. But on Harshlands, the battles are still going strong.

    In fact, this weekend it'll be an absolutely delightful mess as Last Stand (with lots of land in the righthand side) topples beneath the onslaught of about 5 different guilds going for it's land. And that's the minor aspect of this week's Territory Wars - two bitter enemies are going at it too as one of the newest guilds, QQme, attacks one of the oldest and most established ones, Crimson. Whatever happens, the map is going to see some big changes this weekend, at least cosmetically.

    On Harshlands you will find a mix of nice, whiny, mean, overzealous, and laid back people. The various factions tend to reflect this well so whatever your tastes in play, you should be able to find it here - or create it yourself. That is, if you don't mind the fact that we're PvP 24/7 after reaching level 30. ^x^ (On Dreamweaver, it's optional after 30.)

    Harshlands is a nice server, sure it's got alot of tools and attention seekers but overall is pretty good and there's always people willing to help and group on quests

    It tends to be small groups of people who get all the press here on the forums and in the World Chat. Depending on your point of view, it might liven things up, or it might be annoying.

    All in all though, Harshlands is fun. Wherever you go, you're going to find people who take the fun out of things. I haven't found it to be a problem, at least in my personal experience ^x^

    Maybe I need to be in White Name a bit longer before I pass that judgement but eh, I know what's coming. Should be even more fun if I can survive! ^x^

    The only thing I've found annoying is a select few who treat World Chat as their own personal blogs and won't stop yapping on lol, sure I could ignore them but I go by the principle of some day I might need their help or they could help me so I dislike doing it incase they do say something important (which is probably rare).

    Haha. I avoid the worldchat window by switching to the Faction one. The conversations there tend to be far more intelligent. And with less smiley spam. The only time I keep Worldchat active is if I'm shopping, or it looks like someone's trying to get my attention out in the field.

    On that note, if anyone spots me and tries talking to me in the regular Common chat, I likely didn't notice because I'm not using that window ^x^ Out grinding/questing I stay in Squad or Faction chat, depending on who I'm with.

    All servers are pretty active. If you are not 100% carebear, choose pvp server. Pk action there is not extremely hard but enough to pump up some adrenaline ^_^. More important, choose server in proper timezone so territory wars will be avaiable to you. (For example, I've started on Harshlands but TWs were about 3:30-4:00 am for me, so Lost City with TWs at 6:30-7:00am turned out more interesting.)

    Harshlands is a PVP server, and pk'ing low level noobs is as far from PvP as PvE is when it takes one hit to kill a noob that's not PvP as there's no vP in it when they can't fight back...

    Honestly if your new to MMO's a PVP server isn't where you probably want to go. Because as with most PVP'ers they're little people... You want to PVP play a freaking FPS. (But hey that's my perspective). I recommend if your used to RPG's.. PVE is the right way after lvl 30 you have the option to turn on Idiot mode err PVP mode and loose gear to lvl 70+ who think it's funny to kill newbs. And when you turn it on it's on for 10 hours. As for the Carebear remarks once again that type of person is probably picked on or in a **** dead end life and want's to make others as miserable as themselves by virtually kicking other players butts, or an opportunist see's all your hard earned work (legendary gear) and want's it to sell to pay for more grief'ing habits. I never understand PVP on a RPG if your heroes, if your a Villain/Bandit OK sure

    heh I have to agree with the Panda above me b:victory

    If you are new to PW, play on a PvE server. There are a lot of things you need to learn about this game with first-hand experience to be good in this game and doing that in PvP server is a lot harder.

    Don't get me wrong, PvP can be a lot of fun when you know what you're doing and you're good at it. But getting ganged up by a bunch of cocky high levels hiding near an Instance/FB when you are about to do it is NOT fun...
