Looking for a server...

[Raddaquin]

Hello all,  Played a bit of EQ1, and followed it up with a long stint in WoW, but a little WoW burnt so I figured I would try something new. My character in EQ1 was a Barbarian Shaman, so I believe I will be making a Barbarian Mystic here. I was just wondering if there were any servers in particular that were known for good people with a nice population.  I do not care much for PvP since everything I have read so far says this game isn't known for its PvP, and has many faults. I have never done RP but would not be against it, my main goal is end-game raiding. Thank you in advance for any information, and I apologize if it seems redundant.

I second that, on choosing AB. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I've played on both Unrest and Antonia Bayle and can say there are good people on both.  I believe the largest population is found on AB though.It's been some time since I played on Unrest, as I only started there because I had some former EQLive guildies starting characters there.  They all eventually left EQ2, so I eventually restarted on AB for more roleplaying and haven't regretted it at all.  I'm in a great guild and I've encountered few jerks (Though some of the OOC chat in the "level" channels  and in some zones can be a bit <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/2786c5c8e1a8be796fb2f726cca5a0fe.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /> ) in the population at-large.Either server is good.  If you think you're likely to try a little more roleplay, then AB is probably a better choice.

Yet another vote for Antonia Bayle. I've been nothing but impressed with the community.
