Regarding the server choice, I started on Ariel, but after first beta weekend it filled up and people had to queue for server slots, so I moved to Mesramtaeda which was much quieter. Ariel and Azphel were the first two servers, so I think a lot of people might try to stay there. I guess the choice depends on whether we want a busy server or a quiet server. :)
Quieter might be nice initially, although I am sure it would fill up over time.
In the absence of anything else, does anyone have any reason for us not to start on the Mesramtaeda server?
