I just signed up and and downloaded the game.

I'm trying to decide on which server to start.

What should I look for in a server?

    Do you want PVP or PVE is the main concern.

    In a PVP server, you can be killed by anyone once you are level 30 or above, in PVE servers you have to enable PVP before you can kill or be killed.

    The second thing I'd look for is server location:

    West Coast Servers
    Lost City (pvp)
    Heavens Tear
    Sanctuary

    East Coast Servers
    Harshlands (pvp)
    Dreamweaver
    Raging Tide (new server)

    Sorry to mention, I was going to choose the a PvE server.

    Anyways when I was trying to choose a server it mentioned about a ms, what is it and what's a good ms?

    the ms on the server time mean milliseconds. The lower the number the better the connection speed will be. mine is around 56ms on cable modem. that is in my opinion pretty good.

    PvP Is more fun though. It gives you excitement. You can kill anything, at any time. You should join us here!

    Oh and with the ms, that is your latency, the lower the number, the better connection. I have a 32ms with my T4 wire, so life is good for me, no lag whatsoever. Also Lost City's gold prices aren't as high as most of the other servers, and there is an abundance of players!

    My advice to u is, pick a pve server with the lowest ms nd if u pick any east coast server I say go for Raging Tide since it is a new server (not even a month old) nd u will learn fast about the game cuz of that ;)
