What is this server like?

Sharpaxe - Harshlands · May 2009

I've been playing PWI for some time now but only on PVP servers and I am getting sick of all the drama and hatred on them. So I am seriosly considering moving to dreamweaver. So here are a few questions I would like you to answer for me:

1.How many players are on this server compared to the others?
2.Prices? Ex: Gold Charms, Mirages, Dolls and Mijis
3.Any drama? Not that i care much as i will PvP only at high lvls.
4.Do you think you need to spend less cash on a PvE server?
5.Any PvP/Pk guilds?

And finally the big question. Now i know classes and builds and all that stuff but what would you say it's a good class for PvE? Here's my 2 cents.
If you're gonna play a PvE server you might as well pick a class that either solos good or is really good in squads. First let me say i am not interested in playing a Barb, not my style, end of story. I played a BM, it's good but i want to try something else. Wizard is also out of the question. Sooo ... veno, cleric, archer. Cleric would be the best choice for squad play, but archers are best in zhens and there is no denying the leveling power and money making potential of a veno. So I'm torn.

6.Do venos on this server buy nixes? hercs? I would say herc is better for PvE (can anybody say HH?b:chuckle).
7.Anything else i need to know?

Thank you for reading my long rant.b:thanks

1) There are plenty of people on the server imo, of course not as many as say LC and HT of course, but there are enough

2) People suck a pricing no matter where you go.

3) Always some sort of drama, but most of it stays out of WC the majority of the time

4) The only amount less you need to spend on PvE servers is in GAs. I would assume you pretty much have to have GAs on the PvP servers, wheras here its jsut a matter of how much you die and don't wanna lose exp. You also don't NEED highly +ed gear on PvE servers to survive.

5) ummmmm, I think there was one but everyone hated them and they broke up. There is still the regular PK fests in SP every so often, I don't keep track of it cause I don't pk

6) Of course they buy nix and herc, just not really neccesary to survive.

7) Don't take the game too seriously, then whats the point in playing?

As for class...well its up to you. Obviously everybody and their mother, brother, sister, and dog has a veno, so getting into a faction is generally harder because the recruitment level is generally higher for venos due to there being way too many. Cleric and archer aren't really my thing so yeah, have fun choosing

WIZARDS FOREVER!

1. More people are coming here (hence more lag for me) but I say the population's pretty good.

2. Charms are 350k atm due to the sale - usually 450-500k otherwise - Mirages are 28-35k, GAs are 35k-45k, and I have no clue what the last item is.

3. Not much drama...the odd chat in WC here and there; most manages to stay inside guilds/PMs.

4. Definitely. As ColdFlash said, no need for GAs/exceptionally good armor.

5. There was BloodPact which broke up... most of their members separated to go to Equinox/Myraid, but no guilds that are PK especially. Although I think BP is going back up soon, from what I've heard.

6. I've got a Nix myself, and due to the Battle Pack sale a bunch has gotten them and Hercs from what I saw on WC.

7. The server is not new but not old. Most of the map is divided already; if you want to TW, most guilds recruit 50+, so if you want to do that you have to know that you have to level up quite a lot. But if you want to just enjoy the game and stuff without TW and all of that, then this server is good.

As for class, I say Archer if you want to level faster/PK/whatever, Cleric if you want it a bit slower...but more expensive. Up to you.

Gold prices are very high on DW I'll give you that....

My answers, so you can make statistics

1. Due to I have not played in other servers, I can't compare, but theoretically it should have less than the older ones due to it was opened two-three months ago.
2. I have trouble buying the stuff, a charm would be half a mil as much as I have seen etc. So I'm trying to do without them, even though that makes life a LOT harder... Well, still I think the game would be half-pointless if it had no challenge in it.
3. No matter where you go, there always is drama - there are different people anywhere, some just don't fit in there, so they start their lines... Still it disappears kinda fast and gets forgotten. Not so much drama, I guess... Just natural.
4. I have no idea since I can't use it at all.
5. As I have heared, there used to be one, but it stopped because the GMs took action over it.

Well, since there are a lot of FBs... And from now on there will be fights over territory only the PvP way (since the lands are all conquered now)... Kinda hard... It will be your choice... Even though there always is a need for a Barb (which you didn't want) and a Cleric (not so slow in levelling with them either - joined by the end of march and I'm almost 60 by now - and since you will be needed for stuff like fb's you would get extra exp and reps).

6. I have NO idea.
7. You can BE the part of the effort that has been put into the goodness of the Dreamweaver server! Active players are always welcome to make life more intresting over there

Thank you all so far.
Every answer is exactly what i expected it to be.
That still leaves me with the hard choice for class.
Well i love venos, i played one on LC and they rock. They have their role in the game, some of the most important roles even. Plus if i get a herc i can help people with some bosses and hh runs. I use a big part of my time helping people cause i was a newbie too and saw how hard it is to get help.
But a cleric is a big help also, possibly bigger.
Also I dont know how it works on a PvE server but an archer is way more expensive than a cleric on PvP servers. And archers only lvl faster than clerics if they zhen a lot, then again the cleric zhens too plus he helps BMs aoe grind wich is the most effective way to lvl-up 65+. So i think an active cleric is the fastest leveler excluding rich BMs who waste charms for aoe. Plus as i said i like helping so i seems i will choose a cleric.
Thank you and feel free to continue posting you opinions as i will keep checking this thread.

As far as classes, I played a wizard to lvl 66 on Sanc before DW opened, and it wasn't hard to play, quite fun, and he rarely died. Now I have my cleric up to 64 on DW, and it has been a LOT more fun playing! lol She's built primarily for support, but isn't gimped when soloing (almost all of the quests have been done solo), and it's WAY easier than wizard and very rarely dies. Not to mention people want you for TT, FB, zhen, bosses, etc. So yeah, if you're looking for something different that does well solo or in a party, flexible in the roles they can take on, and is in demand, cleric is a good way to go. Don't rule out wizard out completely just because they have a bad rap on a pvp server. On a pve server, they're a mobs worst nightmare and also sought after as DD in parties. One thing I have seen more often than not is a zhen party looking for a DD in wc, and not so many looking for clerics.

On the other points, the others above have answered them, so I don't need to. ^^
