I am currently downloading the game and am very excited to be playing a mmo with a good amount of pvp from what it sounds like.My worst fear in all mmo's i've played is ending up on a ghost town server with nobody to play with = (
So i was wondering what would you all say is the highest population server or the server with the most active community?Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.Thanks all!

    Well for starters if u want to be able to pk anybody over lvl 30 then you will want to go onto a pvp server and there are only 2 pvp servers.

    and im not sure about the population

    they're all pretty populated

    you can pk on any of the 5 servers, but on the pvp servers you are forced to pk, where as pve you can choose if you want to or not.

    if you're very interested in pking, choose a pvp server, but beware, high lvls will 1 shot you A LOT, so decide wether you want gameplay mainly against the game monsters, or other pesky players.

    unlike some other mmo's, the pk action in pwi is all lvl, so a lvl 102 char can pk a lvl 30 char.you must be lvl 30 before you can pk others, regardless of the server you choose.

    you will learn more when you actually start playing.


    hope this has helped b:victory

    Is there a way to tell what server I'm on? I have no idea how to tell my friend's what server I'm on. I forget, a lot.

    Also, I think it would be great to be able to switch servers. Have the game developers though about that at all? The one I joined, sucks for newbs and I just found out about the 2 day limit to be able to switch servers. It seems like a short amount of time anyway, should be a week. Some of us work a lot and can't play much...

    You can switch servers as much as you want, whenever you want. But you can't bring your characters with you (ya gotta start over).

    To do this, go to the login screen. Just above where you put in your username, it shows which server you are logging in to, and gives the option to switch.
    If you need to tell someone you how pro you are, you are not pro. Your reputation and skills should speak for you.

    Favorite opening line when entering a squad:
    "Hi. So, am I the tank?"

    BMs are probably my favorite dds around. They aren't squishy, usually respect and protect the cleric, and in spite of the seemingly constant suicidal impulses, don't get me killed very often.

    Jetue told you about how to find out what server you're on. You could also go to the "Change your avatar" on here and change your avatar to your main character, it would tell you your server.

    As far as active PvP servers, I've heard things about Harshlands not being the MOST populated, but it's not a ghost town, so you really can't go wrong. b:victory
