With things cooling down on the work front for me and being back in my home town, I find myself with a large amount of free time for the first time in too long. AoC has failed to seduce me and I am fairly bored of WoW now. Therefore I was thinking about having a crack at the US Classics servers just to get in the swing of things again before this Origins server, or if that fails just to kill some time until WAR.
However having been out of the game since shortly after the Pryd/Excal cluster and just before Darkness Rising, I have a number of questions I was hoping you could aid me with.
1) US servers because after a quick check it seems that the EU ones are dead and buried. However for those with experience what is the population like over there, any better? The Herald shows about 400 people on atm, but that is still a bit low....but it is early. Any prime time figures? Or are the German servers the new happening place for the Euro crowd?
2) Are the classics servers actually worth the effort, from my recollection they simply elimnate TOA. DR and that Minotaur thing appear to also be applied to the classic servers? Am I better off just playing the regular ruleset as I hear TOA is a breeze now anyway. (do take into account that I didn’t mind TOA one bit really, actually quite enjoyed it, or as it was when I last played before all this super easy mode anyway...although I may think differently if I am at the mercy of strangers)
3) Set-up time: During my time on Prydwen I always organised my own things, so setting up the MLs, grabbing gear I desired, farming and what not - was always just second nature due to the excellent community of chaps using Freddyshouse. However the VN Boards seem to operate some what differently to here so I suspect I am going to need to infiltrate the ranks of some goodly guild willing to take me in.
With that said and having not read much about these new expansions, (Minotaur and the like plus this new Dragon gear): How difficult/much time is it going to take to be reasonably ready for some RvR now? Taking into account the US mentality for those who have had the pleasure.
4) Lastly, anybody else playing over there with a euro guild? Will be much easier for people playing on my time zone.
Thats about it really, any help would be appreciated.
Lots of love
