Master Looter Posts: 1611 Joined: 27 Mar 2008 | I'm going to start playing Lord of the Rings online again, but I don't know which server to join. I started during the free Beta and I was on the least populated server then, I played 'till I couldn't afford it anymore. Due to the fact that everyone who did know me probabally doesn't remember me or quit. So which server would you reccomend? I'm looking for mid to high populated. 
I report badge farmers so that way they can't get their precious Matrix badges, among others. Abide by our rules, and do not spam up areas just because you think they're dead. I read dead areas frequently to report badge farming, as it's strongly frowned upon, and necroing is against the rules.

Brandywine is rumored to be the highest pop server, and some call it overcrowded.
Landroval may be just as big or bigger, as it's suppsedly the RP server, so has all the RP fellowships.
Elendilmir is also mentioned as high pop, but supposedy geared toward Oceanic-based players.
Windfola and Vilya are said to be the low population servers.
Leaving anything not named above as mid population. |

I think Paul has it right, tho, personally. ==============

Under 5 mins wait time, but still a queue. |
Master Looter Posts: 1611 Joined: 27 Mar 2008 | Yeah, I re-joined then too, but the server I was on was dead empty then, atleast where I was at.

Apprentice Posts: 8 Joined: 23 Oct 2008 | I've been on Windfola for over a month.. It was hard to get in a fellowship because my kinship wasn't active together. People tend to fellowship together throughout. I had people tell me they don't do epic quests with others outside their Kinship.
I was lost but now am found. I was invited to "Circle of the Dawn". A kinship level 35 or under (going up as leader goes up). The upper crust help the lower ones w/armor jewelry and fellowship quests making leveling fast and fun. Not crazy on rules and guidelines but demanding civility. As a 40 plus gamer with limited time it is and has been a lot more enjoyable. We fellowship with all the people of M.E. too, not just our Kinship.
I have had flamers and cranks demean the low pop but maybe they should get involved in more then their own sucess. You might find more people willing to help..lol
