So after coming to this version, what's the best server to go to? Yes I realize pve-pvp, but which server is best based on gold prices, population, "helpfulness", and chances of being able to actually get 90+....

    Heavens Tear and Lost City are the oldest ones, therefore their economies are pretty well established. Personally I find Sanctuary the nicest server to play in at the moment.

    Heavens Tear and Sanctuary are the PvE servers, while Lost City is the PvP server.

    From what I've seen, all three servers are equally helpful in my opinion. Although a good faction is recommended.

    Yep heavens tear does have an established economy that gets the odd disruption from events and additions to the game. Helpfulness....Yes since we are the Carebear server lol. Option to pk is fun on heavens tear since we get to go after enrage....just make sure you dont get owned, which is more then likely lol. Lots of TW going on here too. Come and join the fun b:laugh

    However player greed is already starting to ruin every server so there really isn't good one left to go to.

    If its not plainly visible to you, you must be part of the problem. Unless of course you haven't been playing long enough, then you'd have no way of knowing.

    Looking at your join date however, you have been around longer than even me so you'd certainly know what I mean.

    zoe is a communist with jaded and biased views on the game.
    she thinks shes a goddess among us all, and doing anything to prevent your enemy from winning in PVP is against the rules.
    which include:
    1. stunning, sleeping, and other movement status effects
    2. healing, apparently clerics arent allowed yo use their heals, and charms are against the rules too
    3. the pet skill flesh ream
    4. running away from opponents to avoid taking hits.

    she also thinks greed runs economics, and that selling rare pets makes you evil and greedy. she thinks everyone is out to scam and cheat each other.

    most of all: she thinks shes actually god at pvp
    it would behoove you to ignore her. shes been the resident village idiot since last september

    watch her respond with some kind of comment on how she actually believes that "OH U WISH U WERE JUST AS GUD AS ME, U FAIL."

    When you actually get enough intelligence to speak, then you can speak. Until then, shut up you wannabe pker. You couldn't pk your way out of a crowd of level 1s you'd run in fear of actually getting hit.

    On topic here, there is no server that has helpfullness and good prices. They used to, but the idiots moved in. They don't give a **** about you, only themselves. They will drive up prices to insane amounts, and never stop doing so. It does not matter how many players quit the game, or don't even start due to prices and mean players, they'll keep being greedy idiots anyway. All mmos suffer the same fate due to GMs not banning when needed.

    Looks like its time for me to call in a friend to teach you all a thing or two about proper pk.... Enjoy the fun he will bring.

    rofl whats he gunna do on a PVE server? pk my mobs? communist.

    SANCTUARY has the best amount of people, and easiest leveling since were the only server active in doing rebirth mini games for tons of EXP.

    HT has diverse territory wars if you want to try and become famous through it.

    2 new servers are botter and phoenix infested, he who has biggest wallet wins.

    LC is self explanatory, if you wanna see drama and risk killing or being killed, play there, but 85% of the players among the high levels there are egomaniacs

    My join date is roughly the same as yours (I started on Sept 3rd, which was the second day PWI was open) and I play on the same server, but I am not sure of what exactly you are speaking of. I am truly curious about what makes you feel this way since I have seen you mention greed in several threads, but you tend to shy away from specifics. Could you give some specific examples of what has upset you so much (include the old price and the new price if you could). There is a good chance I am not noticing the same things you are since I tend to avoid items that are priced in the seven figures no matter what they are. I would not know what they used to cost since I never looked at them. Heck, I am level 80 and I only just started looking at items that cost low six figures. I used to ignore those too.

    For a PvP server, I think Lost City would be the best, but Conqueror own's pretty much all the TW's ha!

    Prices have been steadily and consistently dropping on Sanctuary ever since I joined back in September.

    For example, cash shop items that used to be worth 2mill now routinely sell for 1.3mill, while lvl 1 Tomes that sold for 2.5mill 4 months ago can now be had for 1mill.

    So, no, the sky is not falling.

    Omg, Players on PVE servers calling eachother wanna be Pker's. LOL
    I would think that a wanna be pker was someone on a PVE server who had the option that PVP servers dont. Click the pk mode button and inflate your ego's. True pkers dont have the safe guard of turning pk mode off when they want to. I play on sanctuary because I choose not to pk and never will. Its funny to see white names on a pve server who wait in arch or other cities for their pk mode to turn off. And as far as anyone scaring anyone in pvp...OMG its only a game. And no gamers ego will ever scare me. lol

    When I was was LV35-ish the 3* LV6 armor did cost 250K and i was surprised to see that someone actually sold any instead of wearing them themselves. And while people in the AH generally ask 100-150k for them, I have managed to buy several of them with prices such as 55K or 65K. Good bargains getting more and more frequent.
    And dual swords 3* LV7 that i bought back then for 550K and yes they were not that common, can now be bought for 100K-125K.

    You go figure out what the prices have been doing. I can continue this list with more goods with old and new prices
    Chentien edge: old price 120K, present common one 60K.
    2 confirmed cases where legendary weapon have been put on sale with price under 100K [one of them had 17K (no typo) bid when I last checked]
    well, do I really have to continue or have you got the picture?

    Gold Prices - Old Servers (Lost City, or that other PvE old server)
    Population - Old Servers (Lost City, or that other PvE old server)
    "Helpfulness" - New Servers (Harshlands, or those other 2 PvE new servers)
    Chances of getting Level 90 - Same in all servers. Depending on "Helpfulness" in a bit, but mostly based on your will to grind your **** off to the point where you are permanently bounded with your chair

    So if your not a carebear or a wimp, pick Lost City or Harshlands. Because PvP is how we roll b:cool

    But if your scared at virtually dying (You know.. it's actually not like real death because you can respawn)... then roll those other PvE Servers. Oh yea, flower for u if you pick PvE... b:flower

    I guess my biggest concern is the older servers are already established, and getting to 90 will be near impossible on the pvp server, and on the pve servers it'd be pointless because they're established as well.

    But also, harshlands and dreamweaver being the new server seems that they'd be really low in population and I don't like that.

    So, I'm kind of in a bind. -_-

    New Servers aren't aren't low in population.

    It's possible to get a high level in an Old Server. Though you might find slightly less (I mean.. slightly) people at a lower level and more people at a higher level.

    Basically, FBs at older servers are evil meat fest in which you join channel "FB_Help" say you need help with FB, and you get spammed like hell.

    Well anyhow, getting 90 in Old and New Servers aren't that much different. It's just more about who you know and oh yea... ugh.. make friends early? It mostly depends on you, not the server you know.....

    Anyhow, your overthinking such a trivial matter. The only big problem is friends and server type (PvP or PvE). After that's set, roll a dice and pick a lucky number

    I guess you're right in some aspects, but the reason I overthink the matter is because it sucks getting to 70-80 and then saying "even if I get to 90 I'm still going to look like a noob and no guild has a spot for me, (decent guild that is)"

    One more thing - check the ping of each server. The closer it is to your geographical location the more stable connection you most likely gonna have.

    Which is Lost City, and Heaven's Tear, which sadly I've been told leveling up on both will be hard, and in the end, useless.

    So basically I'm fishing for moral support here that says it's possible to level up, get to 90+, have fun, and get godly itamz.

    Lost City - Old PvP Server
    Heaven's Tear - Old PvE Server

    Well, I'll give you a piece of advice, how much fun you get depends mostly on you. Like if other people like to hang around with you or if you got a couple of friends willing to play this out with you, it will be pretty fun... And that's pretty much what a game is about anyhow.

    Getting godly items is only maybe icing to the big cake of fun. I mean your playing a game right lol?

    So you can get level 90 if you always try to level up, unless you don't want to level in this game. You will be able to level up. Try to experience everything this game offers you and not just go with the mainstream idea.

    At the end, your character is what you choose to be. You should have fun with it.. and just play. You shouldn't worry too much, so go now, pick PvP or PvE Server, and create a new character! (And stick with that character!)
