    Morai has decent activity if you're active during european daytimes.

    Choose the timezone that suits you best, knowing that the most important events are around 20h~23h server time. If you can't attend to any event ever, you will end up regretting it. If you still got the choice, then look PvP/PvE server and/or Population.

    On all servers you will dominantly find English with many small (or even big) comunities of other languages. Even Morai has US players. Even US servers have different language factions etc.

    As far as I know, the client you use EN, FR or DE doesn't influence on server choice. I play Morai with an English client.

    ah :) very helpful.. but i've been trying to find the population for the servers.. and can't seem to find them at all. I wish there was a way to find the most active. and I can pretty much play almost any time zone. It doesnt really matter, and i'm probably more into PvE.

    Also... I cant find the stupid server timezones. The PWI website isnt available anymore???? You HAVE to use the Arc site? Well the stupid Arc site doesnt show time server status... wow.

    Then create one character (better cleric) for each server.

    With above new character look in World chat ... in most visited time for selected server.

    Look for messages in world chat and their frequency.

    Fly to archosaur (cleric can have wings from early level).

    Count amount of green dots on mini map on the market place of archosaur.

    Edit: common information about servers:
    Server Name 	Location 	Type 	Primary Language 
Lost City 	West Coast USA 	PvP 	English
Heaven's Tear 	West Coast USA 	PvE 	English
Sanctuary 	West Coast USA 	PvE 	English
Archosaur 	West Coast USA 	PvE 	English
Harshlands 	East Coast USA 	PvP 	English
Dreamweaver 	East Coast USA 	PvE 	English
Raging Tide 	East Coast USA 	PvE 	English
Morai 	European 	PvE 	German and French

    Servers are split between east coast and west coast. East coast uses Eastern Time zone West coast uses Pacific Time Zone. You can see the different servers here, just use add blocker. You can also see them around the pop-up, just use the back button if it takes you to the arc site too fast.

    Might be worth looking at the forums for each server also; it won't be a direct correlation ofc, but should give some pointers towards activity levels/sociability

    I tried that, it wasn't very helpful.. and I tried to post on those server's forums asking about that specific server out of curiosity and the threads got closed and I got in **** -.-

    LOL
    Looking at server forums =/= spam posting "is this server active".
    I just meant, go look and see how many posts made in the last week, for example, and how are people talking to each other; are they trolling/flaming, or being polite and civil.
    I used these criteria to narrow down to 2 servers for making a new toon (not saying which 2, don't want to influence you or insult anyone...)
    Yeah I didnt know all posts are collected like that and it's counted as "spam" because in other games forums people post like that quite often :p my bad though,

    Morai's a hodgepodge of languages. Mostly english, but there's german, french and several east-european language speaking factions on the server. But if you're not european, probably the wiser to find a server closer to your location - helps with the lag too.

    Ofc everyone suggest their own server, so why not me?

    Join Raging Tide. We have the weirdest people, best trolls, worst drama and bots arent huge problem. We have a lot of low-level friendly factions, including mine.

    This is not that obvious. I'm pretty sure some people could actually suggest any server but theirs
    Morai is not that bad though b:chuckle

    I like Heaven's Tear, as far as West Coast servers go. It's well-populated and I meet a lot of very nice people. But I haven't experienced many other servers so I'm a biased judge.

    Dreamweaver has been voted "Best PWI Server" for the past 3 years.

    What? You didn't know that? You say you don't believe me?? Well, it's true... just ask me and I'll tell you :D

    Look at the economy of the servers as well.

    i.e Morai has high gold prices, will be tougher to catch up through merchanting.

    My best bet would be Dreamweaver/Sanct for a PVE server and Lost City for a PVP.

    Raging Tide has little drama and bots because its almost deserted (in relation to DreamWeaver and Morai). Friendly faction is absolutely true :) (some).
