Hi New Player Trying to figure out best possible server to start on?

[belialthedevil]

Hello Everyone is Sarlona Populated? Trying to figure out what server to play on first and potentially join a guild that is helpful towards new players.

From the few worlds I've tried so far, Argonnessen appears to be the most active. It seems to have the most players and several well established guilds that you can join. It might be because it is at the top of the lists of worlds to select... but just my observation. Cheers!

Only one problem - Argo is not at the top of the list - Orien is.

When you log in the last world you logged into will be at the top - The default {if it's not the last world you logged into} will be second!

Orien is the current default and therefore the highest pop. server right now - It's had the default for like 4 months {far longer than usual} so could lose it at any time {Cordovan has stated a couple of times that the default is being looked at already}.


Argo does have a decent sized population but then again so do Sarlona, Khyber and Ghallanda.

Thelanis and Cannith are a bit low right now but not in Wayfinder territory {Wayfinder has at most 1/3rd the population of Thelanis or Cannith and probably much less.}.



OP if you're American I'd recommend Argo, Khyber or Orien
If you're European I'd recommend Ghallanda or Cannith
If you're Brazilian I'd recommend Cannith or Orien
If you're French Canadian I'd recommend Thelanis
If you're Chinese I'd recommend Sarlona
If you're Japanese I'd recommend Thelanis
If you're Korean I'd recommend Ghallanda
If you're none of these then you might want to go with the one that fits your timezone best so....

EST Midnight to 8am = Argo/Sarlona
EST 8am to 4pm = Ghallanda/Cannith
EST 4pm to Midnight = Khyber, Orien, Thelanis
With some leeway and Peak Hours for ALL Servers is EST 6pm to 11pm! There aren't enough Europeans/Asians etc. to offset US Peak times.
