Choosing a server and planning ahead help

[Abriael]

I can only say something about my server. Mysidia is highly populated at the moment, has a nice mix of population from both the US, Europe and Japan, and I rarely see some public situation that I would define unpleasant (actually, almost never).
I can't remember the last time I heard someone whining and bashing the game in shout, which is good.

It also doesn't host any unofficial national community, so you won't be spammed by shouts in french, italian, german or whatever other language (besides Japanese, which is inevitable) you happen not to understand.
Might be a matter of personal taste, but I tend to avoid those like the plague (including the one of my own nation, actually, them more than anyone else).

That means it is what I would consider a good server to be in.
