Returning Player - Server/class questions

[)3rok]

<p>I originally played until level 30 on the Nagafen server and decided to quit from a combonation of RL/boredom. I started playing just a few days after the PVP patch (and that server) was released, so it was really easy to find groups and everything. Now, though, it seems like the only lowbies are level-locked twinks <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I really like being able to group and was wondering if any servers are still like that, but I know it won't be what i'm used to since Nagafen  was brand new when I played before.  I've heard good things about Antonia Bayle but I'm not a serious RP-er and don't know if that would be an issue or not. I played a few different things but my highest level was a bruiser and I loved it; have they changed much?</p>

<p>I've never done PvP, so can't tell you anything about those servers, nor have I ever played on AB.  What I'm told about AB and LDL both is that there's not a whole lot of RP that goes on anyway, so if you want to go to those servers and not RP, it's not really a big deal.</p><p>Personally, I'm rather fond of Befallen server.  I like the community we have there, and there's always seeming to be a decent population in the "lower" zones.</p><p>The biggest changes that occured since the PvP servers were opened up were combat changes that hit all acorss the board at the same time as the EoF expansion was released.  For bruisers, I don't think much was changed in their skills, but the combat changes in general served to increase their mitigation a bit and reduce their avoidance a touch too, though with good gear you can get it all back.  I didn't notice much difference on my monk from his actual skills, just that his mit went from low 30's to low 40's and his avoidance dropped from 65-ish to about 53-ish.  Didn't seem to change my survivability at all, and I can still tnak for any group I've been in so. . . . no complaints there.</p>
