    lol I think thats stretching the truth abit who ever said that.

    Yeah, well they kept insisting how it was so much bigger and that LC was empty and fail... so I got really curious to see how much of a difference I could see, and except for what I posted, there wasn't really any. World chat seemed just as active, as were all the people and cat shops spamming west arch. Prices were mostly comparable, and the number of high level items in the AH were comparable as well. My conclusion was that if did have a larger population, it wasn't really noticeable. If anything the population sizes are closer than not.

    PvE servers are just plain boring, I wish I knew HT was PvE before I rolled a char on it. Roll on PvP,you will have a lot of fun , I heard LC was pretty crowded.b:victory

    If you want to PvP at lower levels, pick a PvP server. Only the people who are geared up to PvP will enable PK mode on a PvE server.

    There is plenty of lower level PvP on LC. I see plenty of red 5x-7x running around.

    Out of curiosity, do you AoE dozen of them to death from time to time? b:chuckle

    Well, there was one time at Silverpool... leader of my last faction was getting attacked by a bunch of people... he was like 100 veno but they just kept coming after them... so I dropped out of the sky, HF the whole lot... probably a dozen bodies laying around...

    Wish I could do it more often, but I don't PK lowbies and I'm not in an RPK faction. I've never really RPK'd on this char either. lol

    Hmm, okey. I will play PW afterall :) But now i need to decide which one of them two pvp servers. LC or HL ? Basicly LC - lots of ppl, lots of high 1337 players. HL - Lower population, newer server and not so many high ones? And online number differs a lot in these two?

    HL is newer than LC, but given that they've made it so easy to level, I don't think you'll see much difference in the number of high-level players and per Michael's post below, the server populations don't seem so different either. If you're interested in territory wars (weekend clan warfare), then perhaps somebody could post what the TW maps look like on each server (a server that is entirely dominated by one clan may not appeal to you); otherwise you might as well flip a coin. -_^

    Hi. I find myself as a person, that likes to pvp/mass pvp a lot, but I want to play on PvE server because of higher population. What i want to know is can you pvp/mass pvp on PvE servers? For example clan wars etc.

    From what I see the PK mode makes each player able to attack and be attacked by another play in PK mode. I suppose you could get a group together with 2 squads and all go into PK mode for a team vs team battle but I am not sure if squading would protect your fellow team if you AOE attacked.

    The TW (Territory Wars) instance sets it up so you can not harm your own team but that is a specialized event for factions so there is no way to practice.

    The fairly new Nation Wars event on Friday and Sunday evenings sets up team against team PK so it is a good way to test yourself over and over again as an ongoing effort to keep or take over the map areas. I often get frustrated when I keep dieing to over powering enemies with superior gear. I can foresee this becoming just another farming event for R9rrrs.
    I still try to play the event but wish it was a little more balanced.
