2 new players and picking a server

Post by kadinh »

My wife and I are downloading the client(should be ready to play tomorrow) as I type this.

We have been wondering which server to jump into.

If a few of you could, maybe a couple of Pro/Cons on the 2 diff. servers.


Forgive me if there is a previous thread on this. Its 1am and I tend to overlook things when Im tired.

Cho is newer and has less vet characters (though plenty of vet players) than Arispotle. So the question is do you want to enter a more "established" setting (Arispotle) or a more pristine one (Cho). There are pros and cons of each so it depends on personal preference really.

How new is Cho?
Would we have problems grouping/finding a guild?
If Cho is very new, is it growing?


Is Arispotle overcrowded in any way?
Any major gripes about maybe too many people in an area and/or town?


Edit:1 more factor for us. We currently live in Norway, would Cho be desolate in our "primetime"? I enjoy a good community which I have felt most MMOs have lacked since I stopped playing AO a while back.

Well I can't say much for Cho but I know Arispotle isn't overcrowded at all and has people from all over playing it at most times. Ofcourse there are more busy times than others but never really dead. Oh and the Ryzom community rocks! ;)

there are many, many ppl from Scandinavia on Arispotle, about 1/3 our guild are i think. I imagine there are plenty on Cho as well.

I'm sure you'll be fine whichever you choose, but maybe make a test character on each to get the lie of the land as it were.

*tries hard to resist urge to pimp guild

oops :p

I agree with rushin, both servers have something to offer and something lacking. Cho lacks the players with those advanced skills , although thats changing quickly. Arispotle has a veteran players base and still plenty of room for newbies. But, outposts are taken and only gained by extended battles.
Either way you should enjoy yourself so, welcome!
