Xolar and I moved over to the new server last week. I have to say, it is as close as anything to old times. Hot zones are FULL of people and the second you put LFG on, you typically get an invite (from my experience in Velks / Kael). People are training, outting and blacklisting people who can't play, and fighting over spawns. For the most part, everyone is really nice and eager to help someone. The only drawback, which isn't really one, is Mercs taking up people spots. It is ideal for groups to consist of 3 - 4 people with a tank and cleric merc to fill the group.
Anyway, look us up if you pop on. We have a guild just for kicks until we find something we would be more interested in later.
