5 Great Reasons to Transfer to the Orien Server

[Tyrande]

I've been happy to call Orien my home server for 10+ years now. It feels cozy. For anyone thinking about moving off their current server this month, I invite you to join us on Orien. To help inform a decision, here are 5 great reasons the Orien server could be your great new home:

1) House Orien owns and operates the Lightning Rail, which is used to deliver mail. As a perk of being on the Orien server, players enjoy practically no delay on delivery of in-game mail! That includes mail from the auction house and from other players.

2) The Dragonmark of Passage is linked to house Orien. Since the magic of the mark is more stable on this server, the Dimension Door spell boasts a 0% chance of teleporting you to the point high above the marketplace. I'm sure there have been a non-zero number of Hardcore deaths resulting from players falling from the sky!

3) An acceptable misspelling/mispronunciation is "Orion" which is an iconic Star Trek alien. This race has grown in popularity in recent years with the introduction of D'Vana Tendi on the hit show "Star Trek: Lower Decks". All you trekkies (I know you're out there) will find yourselves comfortably at home here.

4) "Orien" (or its misspelling) is short and easier to type than most DDO servers. "Sarlona" has that nice flowey 'S' sound, but has fully twice the number of consonants "Orien" has!

5) The logo of House Orien is a majestic, iconic fantasy creature: the Unicorn. Players can even get a cool cape with the logo in the Anniversary event, which is running again this month

If you decide to transfer to the Orien server, I'm sure we'll be happy to have you!

LOL, I have characters on the server, I gotta "test" the teleport spell.

On the other hand, here are the "pros" and "cons" of Sarlona:

1. Ever wonder where the RPG server is for Dungeons and Dragons Online? Sarlona it is. Sarlona has the highest number of RP private/secret groups if you're into the fold. NOTE: my character(s) are not in one right now, but it was there 10+ years ago.
2. Ever wonder where all those Gingerspyce or Voodu raid reaching/training raids are? Sarlona it is on every week.
3. Ever wonder all those holiday events like Halloween costume parties, trivia games like +Sir Lawrence used to give? Now its on Sarlona, but again Ginger is doing it.
4. DDOCast and Axel videos were streaming from Sarlona!
5. If your character does not have over 10 past lives and/or over 50 reaper points, don't expect to get healed or even a direction. Your character maybe left in the dust while the rest of the party are over 80% done with the dungeon. This is more of an "elitist" server compare to Orien. Orien is more new player friendly. If you're a new player, please move to Orien instead of Sarlona.
6. If there is a dungeon with heavy duty traps and there isn't a trapper in the party, your character is expected to have wings to fly over those traps, unlike Orien, who will happily disarm those traps for your character.
7. Sarlona has a *high*, I meant *huge* amount of Chinese players who does not speak English, especially past 9pm US EST. If you do not know how to type "Ni Hao" and use a translation program like Google Translate, your character will be at a disadvantage. They love high DPS alchemist groups, they do not disarm, they do not CC. Most of their methods are brute force. Be ready for a painful adventure if the party decided to do it on Reaper 8 or higher. Orien is much friendlier in that sense.
