id suggest making a new character here and lookin around first.

it can be sorta tough to find a uhm... "decent" raid group most the better players are already sorted out i feel.

community is nice enough i suppose, have heard alot of ppl xfering from excal n stuff saying that there is far far less elitist additudes here. but i wouldnt know first hand as i nvr playd on other servers.

wish there was a way to see how many ppl playing on the server to help u just population, but best i can give u is there isnt usualy much goin on in party finder. currently there is 5 parties recruiting. 1 FATE grp 1 grp hunting and some other crap.

the MB is overpriced on things like matiera n stuff from what ppl who play on other server have said.

hope some of that is helpful. *shrug*
