One nice feature of DAoC is that the quests for alb/mid/hib are quite different- you don't really say to yourself "i've done this one before". So getting a character up to 50 won't be dull quest-wise.

But, you know this game is now more-or-less about completing MLs and getting artifacts. If you can stomache ;) doing all of that again (same for all realms), then go for it.

But but...
Why are you asking "shud i stay?". If you liked the old-style game, before all the leetist stuff, no new realm will bring back the enjoyment. Prydwen is a very quiet server, the population has dropped substantially over the last year. You will find that playing some classes are now almost imposible, without PL or huge guild support. Can you use a L20 command? Starting from L1 is hopeless atm.

If you have a lot of patience, then give it a go, but be prepared for little to almost zero grouping (below L45). Just get your friends list populated by players who don't use BBs :) that way you'll get a group and not a "afk/cba" group :)

Actually, depending on your class this wont be too hard using the instant dungeons..but ofc, its much depending of the class..

i dunno bout that tbh ..
as long as your char can solo yellows (past level 10 .. task dungeons are blue con at 1-10 i think ) should have no problems in any insta task dungeon. (ad tbh every class in hibernia besides buffbots and bards should be able to take on yellows ^^ rangers and range mages may have a prob with lack of space but there is always ways round that ^^)

doing some of the easy quests in catacombs and basically grinding it from 1-20 took hardly any time, maybe just over a day. It really gets easy past 20, if you get some good gear. got from 22-27.6 yesterday in the few hours I was online and handy cos Dard and Bostik can just pass down any old armor they have no use for. (oh and 6.3 dps glowy rapiers-own)

I have gone pretty much Solo from 1-29 on my Vampiir in little over a week (buffs not affecting Vamps) (I know its not the fastest ever but I dont play every day and I do allow some downtime ;))

Yes I have 3 accounts all on Hib/Pryd but leveling my Vamp has been good fun while scouting doing other stuff on the other accounts...

If you want to enjoy the green fields and benefit from the community that is Hib/Pryd then come on over to the green side! ;)
