ARR: Choosing server, reclaiming characters, etc.

[Eremite]

and how are you gonna do that?

A suggestion I have for the OP would be to create a "dummy" account (level 1 character/mule) before going ahead with setting up their main account.. Play it til level 10 or so and see how the connection runs etc. If it sucks then delete it and make a new one on a different server. This would also give them multiple opportunities to play with the character editor to figure out what they like/hate.

If you wanna test other servers, why don't you create a new character for that server to test it. Then if you like it, move your main character to it.

This is exactly what I wanted to try. I was just worried that when you log in for the first time, you'll immediatly have to pick a server/redesign for your existing characters before you can create new ones. Maybe I explained it wrong.
