How is both PvE and RvR during NA time? Is it worth playing?

Action for Hibs and Albs is good until about 11 PM EST, usually. After that it's pretty slow until about 11 PM PST, when Albs pick up.

Mids show up sometimes at any time of the day; doesn't seem to be particularly consistent, but more frequently around during the EST time frame than PST.

So if you're East Coast, it's fine. For us Pacific folks, it can be rather drab at night.

I'd say 250 to 350 total game population after 11 est. , on average. 1200 or so during the day with EU primetime? .

Can somebody comment on how hard it is to find an xp group during NA times?

depends on how many are online. and if you are spamming lfg or if you are forming a group. if you are lfg and not forming a group, then a long time. but sub 20 you'll have some troubles finding groups any time of the day. after 20 groups seem to open up more. not sure why other than maybe kill tasks encourage more solo'ing for better benefits. do not know.

Tacos made a thread a few weeks ago 'Operation NA'....... how has that gone?? Few of us are thinking of playing but so torn on whether or not investing the time is worth it since we'd be from scratch

well in alb there are some groups for 30+ but there still might be times when you can't find one and will have to solo. its definitely not the same as it was when the server first started when just about every camp in the game was camped and xp groups abounded. but its still not completely dead either.

the rvr is definitely a bit lacking but really a lot of us are still having really good fights on occasion, so its not completely dead either. its better than live at least.

generally some good "small zerg" (i.e. 2-4 fg) action every evening NA time. I see 8 mans out and about too, but couldn't comment on how satisfied they are with the action. Solo/smallman is hit and miss. some nights very good, some nights non existent. the good nights for solo/smallman tend to coincide with the big zerg nights as it gets more people in the frontier. Action is not dead by any means. In hib anyway its common to have 50% or more of the realm pop in the frontiers during NA time. maybe the other realms dont do this as much, I don't know.

This server is the best ran classic experience.

I don't know the actual server population right now.

I know i'm a consistent player, and I would almost feel comfortable saying there are 3 mid groups playing steady every evening EST timezones, and sometimes those guys (and myself) push beyond midnight--Playtimes all across the board got decimated by the holidays, but that stuff is leveling out.

The zerg fighting is pretty fun for me, it no longer seems to be gank rolling, i've been fielded a couple times where it looked like both sides were having some drawn out fights and actually trying to battle and I know people mid side were having fun whether we won or lost. Most of us. Someone mentioned before this is 2-4 fgs.

There are a few 8 mans out and about.
There's still interest, at least NA timezones.

It was fun for a bit but I lost my hard drives, ui files and everything else, plus the holidays. Hope action is picking up!

We rolled on hib and are leveling up now. Small NA crew here hoping to help rebuild the population.

I think it's worth it. I just came back and although the action has been hit or miss there's enough to still be fun. Also, the players that stuck it out until now probably aren't going anywhere.
