Is there any server in particular that i should play on ( ie closer to uk ) or are they all in the same place like europeans servers?

Well........ I guess 'closest' would be a server running on east coast time, but afaik they all run on the same time.

NON of the usa servers are closer to UK ....

some of the less populated servers are like ghost towns @ uk primetime.... the busy servers are kinda same sorta population as pryd prolly early evening time ,,, because all the USA servers have the whole of usa playing them it seems , there are no east coast servers / west copast servers etc , all americans just take there pick of whichthey wanna play on ,

as for usa players... they pretty much the same as EU servers , you get your asholes.. you get your elitists and you get the people who will help you and are generally nice people.

IMHO the standard of RVR on Eu (excalibur) is higher. but you still have your VERY good enemy grps on all usa servers ,

im atm playing a lot of TOA (EU guildy of mines parents went to usa n got his mum buy me a copy) .. i intend on playing ToA a while gettingused to how it works and exploring the new zones.... so when it comes out here i intend on doing all the stuff fairly quickly so to have a so called headstart on most.


imo if u want to play USA servers and u want there to be a few people online . join one of the BIG usa servers like MLF / Merlin and others (best to check the USA servers populations on Cam Herald over time of a week or so .. so you can see which server seems to have the biggest population on during the times u play . which will help you find grps etc etc when u are playing EU times. and when u choose yourserver goto VN boards and visit that servers Forum and see if u can see how the servers rvr etc etc is going ., by that i mean are mids the zergers... are the mids the zerg realm etc etc .. cple of the servers i play on its HIBS that are the main zergers.

so dont auto assume its albs on all servers :) checking server forums usa will gie u good feedback , and u may also wanna ask the people on that realm what classes there realm need most .



hope above answered any of your questions :) if u go there have fun :)

MLF, Merlin, Guinevere are decent population 24/7 - MLF is the most worldwide server, there's not a point in the day where it has low population, it's always got like 200 players minimum in each realm at any time of day, going up to about 500 - 600 at prime times like Saturday evening.

Lag aint a problem, played fine there on 56k, now on ADSL and it's fine.

Different realms own different servers like Lancelot and Guinevere are pretty Alb owned, Merlin is heavily Midgard owned I think, MLF is pretty balanced, not sure about the others.

doent make any diffeerence if they are based on east/west south etc coasts. cos when servers all openeed to public im sure the people all across america joined the servers at random and there wasnt any pre-determined east/west servers .
