It's an officially EU declared Server so the majority of players here is in the EU Timezone. (I actually transfered here from Excalibur not too long ago).
Progress Wise there is about 10 groups currently in T9 but none that downed it yet. Should not take too long until that happens however.

One thing you have to get used to when coming from Excalibur is that the overall skill of players here is way below what you are used to. I could pug stuff on Excalibur that is totally impossible here so if you spend the majority of your time playing outside of your FC you will have a bad time.

Recruiting wise there is a lot of groups looking for people For T6 and higher and quite a few who are still stuck on T5. Since i do not know your progress i can't give you any more detail.

Best of luck!
