Another US servers question...

[Moaning Myrtle]

Which ToA cluster is the best to play Albion? The one with Lancelot or the one with Merlin and why?

TIA

P.S. Made my Hunter today on Classic, incredible how many people are running around at low level, just like the game used to be in Europe! Also, the double XP bonus in SI pwns

Albion :< play Mid on merlin! its najs and lots of Euro players from Hibernia! they made a guild called Celtic Llaw, its good fun =]

merlin (killibury) is okay. That is where I play my minstrel . Stealth zerg is heavy on some days but there is the potential for good solo fights. Plenty of raids for artifacts and ml's. The quality of the players is quite low, its rare for me to lose a one on one fight even tho most opponents are significantly higher RR ( typically rr7-10 ), but there are some good soloers that are always a tough fight. Can be very frustrating with the lack of respect for solo fights however.


Tristan (devon) is even more bridge focused than kilbury. I havent played on lancelot.

Well for what rvr are you looking?

A few Revolver people are on Lancelot-Hib ( Caerleon cluster ), its the highest populated ToA cluster, insane rvr action and a lot of ML & artifact raids.
Now I'm into 8 man groups so i'm giving you a view on that. Caerleon cluster looks good for that, I also played Mid on Devon cluster and it was more bridge fights then 8vs8. I saw someone saying on FH that yanks don't do 8vs8. That is complete bullshit, our cluster is not so bridge focused and a lot of people do go to Agramon.

Best thing is that the rvr action is totally insane ( 24/7 ), every time when I login and get a group and we go to Agramon there are other groups roaming, no matter what time it is, its been really fun since we arrived there because of all the action that is happening and I really missed all that action like we once had on the EU cluster ( 2k population etc ). We never meet the same group twice in a row when its prime time in US and when you play early in the afternoon you will face the same group a few times but still then its more action then on EU cluster.

When we first started to rvr on lancelot we were dealing with alot of zergs and saw not really 8 man groups etc but now that the double rp's are gone and that every realm unlocked the Mauler everything is starting to get normal for 8 man groups.
Yes, you will meet some badass zergs but thats all part of it.

oh btw now I notice that you didn't really ask for the RvR ( just woke up ) but now you know how the rvr is there.
Also I have no idea what cluster is the best to play Albion.

Anyway you still have double xp in SI zones and with so many servers that are clustered it really doesn't matter what cluster that you will pick to get 50, get toa gear and ML's. Everything will go really fast, I'm now around 2.5 weeks on that cluster and I'm fully toa'ed, ML10 and i'm almost rr6 ... 4 days and 11h /played. <3 double XP + crazy rvr action.

Only thing that is a pain in the ass are the ML raids, I really hate doing ML's but I stayed home a saturday evening to get sorted out because almost all of the ML's start at 02.00 CET during the week day's and that is middle of the night...
But if there is a ML rush I strongly suggest that you go on that ML rush since they start at 20 CET on saturday ( ML1-5 ) and sunday ( ML6-9 ) atleast for our cluster.

ONLY the ML rushes start at 20 and they end around 02 or 03 CET, depends on how slow the raid leader is and yeah I know its weekend and that they end in the middle of the night etc but I rather stay home one saturday evening to go on a ML rush that starts at a decent hour then going in the middle of the night during the week on just one ML raid that starts at 02 CET..

ML rush is boring but you never have to look back at it and it beats random 02 CET raids.
So if you offer up a saturday and sunday evening then your sorted with ML's. Artifact raids are every two day's or even every day and well double XP so getting 50 shouldnt be a problem.

Thanks for the replies, they are helpful.

I'm making a Paladin in Albion, so I will be soloing more often then not. I know Wittor is on Hibernia, but is anyone else playing Albion on the Lancelot cluster?
