Which Sever should i play in?
« on: December 22, 2010, 03:31:24 am »
I am aware the obvious answers is if you want to RP play on the RP server. If you don't play on the other server.

Admittedly I would prefer to play on the non-rp sever because quite frankly i'de rather not put the effort in. However this game seems to have quite a large RP fanbase behind it. First and formost i would like to play on a server that has a healthy amount of players although I am aware this game hasn't got a huge player base. I would therefore put the extra effort in, if it meant i got to play on a sever with a decent amount of players



So basically does the non-rp server have a decent amount of players on it?

The non-RP server has very little, but I am sure there's a person on it at one time.

You can play on both, and have a RP alt and a non-RP alt. But yes the RP server tends to have around 15-60 players on it, depending on the time of day. the non-RP server around 20 at peak and down to 1-5 at non peak.

You're choice but RPers get snotty when you are out of character, you are more than welcome to learn some RP by some good RPers that can teach you, you can find most of them in the Daughters of Xiosia, Dark Empire or Knowledge Seekers (there's probably a few more flying about)
You maybe roleplaying but you could still be OOC.

Roleplaying is not as hard as many believe ... as long as you are able to imagine your character living his daily life in the game world, not knowing about being played in a game. If you pass the tutorial on each of the servers, you will have learned the most important basics from the tutorial NPCs already. The rest is just practicing.

The peak on the RP server is closer to 80 with 40-60 being the typical number of players online at most times with the low getting in the low 20s at the slowest times.

There are a lot of people who will help you get started with RP, as long as you are willing to listen to them and try and learn. If you insist on just doing what you want and being out of character then you will start to annoy people.

How may Players depends on time of Day, I live on the west coast of the US. in the morning, up till mabey 4-5 PM there are generally 60-80 people online, but once it hits 11PM to midnight, numbers reduce to 20-10

Im not on the non-rp server anywhere near as much as RP server, last time i was on there, was to see amdenier before it was available on rp server, time before that was last sumer when VV was banned.
There are generally 6-8 people on either guildless or in <Heroes>

... also depending on time of year, last time I played it would of been 60 at peak in the northern summer months, if that. But so you know when I first played this time of year (just after Christmas) would of been around 200-300 at peak but player numbers have dropped rapidly since start of 2009.

That couldnt possibly have anything to do with the release of 5.0 could it?

That and many more reasons... ;)

For starters the mobs were much easier to train, make money, kill, get PP, from, they weren't balanced as they were a little too easy, but what's better? easy with a nice number of players, or hard with close to no one to play with?
Also a lot of players and devs have left aswel, I am sure people will know why through many complaint topics ;)
GMs seem to have gotten tougher/stricter/ridiculous in some cases and a lot of people are currently banned for numerous and silly reason, in which I don't think the GMs understand that people have their 'bad days' and 'are human and do stupid things occasionally', I am not just referring to myself.

@ Earowo:

What version 5.0 ?! -- We are not even at 0.6 yet.

@ TJC138:

Try both. Decide later. -- But try to give roleplaying a chance. You might enjoy it after a while. Even if it is just a grumpy cold stare as reply on a greeting.

*smacks Vakachehk* That kind of typing is not (or should not be) allowed in here.

Also, try EXPC first, and if you like the mechanics, go to Zeroping. Then you'll have mechanics with roleplay. Twice the fun \o/
