Ive met just as many weird english people (if not more) in real life, than i have americans (just stayed there for a month so i got to know some of the locals pretty well). In game as well - there are some pretty strange EU players out there.

The time zone difference was a problem you knew about (unless your really dumb) before you started playing US servers, so you cant blame that on poor service or whatever.

There is no "so-called argument". Stating "IMO" 3 times should be enough to make clear that what is quoted is my opinion & not fact-based. When I started there were ONLY US servers & no Euro servers so not really much DAoC choice at that time

Back to the Euro-time population thingy - There were 16 US servers, not counting Pendragon, Gaheris, the PvE servers, or the new classic servers, of which only Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere, and Percival ever had any really appreciable Euro population (OK maybe Morgan too ). Looking at their populations at this very second only those 4 of the original 16 have more than 250 people online, & that's European peak-time not daytime! 7 of the rest don't even get anywhere near 200.

If anyone wants to try the US servers then go ahead & form your own opinions, maybe they're just what you're looking for
There are nice people there & jerks just like anywhere else.
I've been there & I've been here & here is where I'm staying for the personal reasons stated

Erm, you do know that most of those servers are clustered now right ? So although that leaves less individual places to play overall, the population of each cluster is still very healthy and there's still enough clusters to play every realm.

Jupiler - that's off-peak, the least popular server type in the game and it STILL has more than 1 level 50 online, /who 50 there right now shows 87, so even if that was the server that OohhoO played then his figures are still miles off. Not to mention he mentioned he was supposedly a Hib on whatever server he played (funny how he wont tell us which supposedly only has 1 lvl50 player on offpeak), therefore if he was specifically checking Hib /who wouldn't show just hibs for him as the realms are entirely shared on Gaheris.

Jupi, wtf you on about? I own a Dell and still largely recommend them if you want a decent machine, just not if you want any kind of tech support be it hardware repairs or software

I have something to say, listen carefully for I shall say this only once.

Dump Prydwen and play Lamorak.

You play Lamorak?

Don't get me wrong.
I'm not defending GOA.
It was GOAs handling of the Euro-Beta which originally persuaded me to stick with my US accounts i/o moving to the Euro servers, and I did OK on US low-pop servers until ToA made it necessary to have a certain level of realm-population to get MLs/artes to remain competetive in RvR, by which time I had so many L50s etc that I didnt want to abandon it all until most of my friends had quit due to ToA.
Eventually I decided to come here & I havn't regretted it & I ain't going back.
Your mileage may vary.

Despite our differences I'm sure we can all agree that the current Prydwen situation is infuriatingly frustrating, not least due to the uncertainty

this is getting stupid
i dont think theyre on holiday but i would prefer an update to them not saying a word so it LOOKS like their on holiday...

Well thats something atleast, not the best news you could get like it will be up in XX hours or so, but still some info, very nice ;D

so its gonna be up tomorrow??

i have a dell as well, just some of me guildies h8 em, so i was just giving GOA some advice

I had best experiences with ALR, and with the old Compaq, today's compaq (aka HP) are next to shit.
However, best to choose your own configuration (for example i prefer high-end asus motherboards, etc), imo
