Server pop

I'm starting to play again, for nostalgic reasons. I last played when the new race came out, what server should i play on? I never had anything good so starting over is no issue mainly cause i lost my 100's. But what server has high active population?

    Your old characters should still be there. The servers merged and changed names, so you may have to look through all of them to find your chars.

    None. Play whatever server that fits your timezone.

    Agree with @shopcheese, the server activity seems to be pretty much the same across all servers, the community differs though (some more friendly, some toxic). But the timezone is a big factor because most big/important events are tied to a specific timeslot and it's annoying not being able to attend because of that.

    Hello!

    Definitely play in the timezone you're closest to (or rather, what closely matches your local real life time)! Since some events that are spawned are ran on the server time, while others activated by a GM will be ran based on what would be closest to "prime time" on your server, this will impact your overall experience in a big way. While there are players who play outside their "official" timezone, it's probably best for you to come back into a timezone you're most accustomed to.

    Hope this helps!

    Server populations aren't even close DA has a much higher pop than any other server, then TT, after those two there's a big gap then probably ET and lastly TI

    Ya do this. Until they decide to **** over an entire server and merge it with one that has a 10 hours difference, ruining every event in the game for a lot of people.

    My suggestion is any server but DA if you're American, Canadian or well live on the western part of he world UNLESS you work after 3:30pm EST or PDT trust me it's not worth it on DA unless you fall into the very small demographic. If you're allowed to log and have free roam to play completely at work perhaps DA unless you can meet these two requirements you're better off playing on servers with half DA population. Thus far I've found TI having friendliest community but low pvp for me, TT most pvp but low on friendly ppl and ET kinda in the middle agian this has purely been my exp playing other servers lately in past couple months

    @teabagg he's talking about DA and the fact the majority of western world players got completely done dirty compared to the EU who played on the American servers

    What events are you talking about?I been playing going on 9 years.My time here the events that I have attended were epic lag fest and that was before it became alt world.

    They merged harshlands into the european server. Making a 10? hour difference for what harshlands players were used to. I was on exact same time as server. When they merged it, the event times pretty much all happened while I was at work, instead of the normal time (ie 9pm)
