New player here, I have some questions.

Asura is the official reddit and facebook server, so even though it's populated I would avoid it like the plague tbh.

It's not that hard to simply not join their related linkshells. ^^;;
Not all of their members are unpleasant, but I will admit to having more negative experiences w/ Reddit than positive ones.
I picked Asura when I came back last year because of Reddit, but was picked up by several non-megalith LS who've been good friends ever since. Plenty of good people so far. Bad apples are the still the exception to the rule.

Don't avoid.... I was on a dead server (as are most of them now). It was boring as hell, mainly Auction House facing, one shout a day, and around 280 people online my prime time (half of which were mules/multibox). I moved to Asura, and yeh it does have it's fair share of idiots but has ton's to do and constant shouts - you can pick and choose what you want to join or not.

If you want to get going in stuff, and have a good choice of stuff to do in groups - go to Asura.
If you like doing stuff on your own, and seeing probably one shout a day - Any other server.
