I transferred from Estrael back to Faeblight in the 5-minute window that the servers were up. If there are any ATers left playing on the Defiant side there, look me up and we can run some experts or something. I'm also going to be looking for a guild over the next few days, once I get myself settled with new soul talent builds and whatnot.
There's always the Faeblight server, but be aware that it is a role-playing server. If you don't RP its no big deal; just make sure your character name is nothing that would sound ridiculous in-game (no internet memes or RL references) and that you don't plan to grief the people who are RPing.
In terms of guilds, Faeblight has plenty of more casually oriented guilds (again, it's an RP server so tends to be more laid back in general) that would work well for a new player. I would specifically recommend Elysium Order, a guild I was member of for a while. The leadership and members are nice people, there are quite a few leveling players and new 50s around, and the guild is large enough that people are online at just about all hours.
I am in a guild called Suspiria, which is progression raiding focused and definitely hardcore compared to most guilds on Faeblight. We tend to be most active at night (6PM to 9PM server, or 8PM to 11PM Central time). Without a pretty well-geared 50 (or being F&F of a raiding member) I don't think you'd have much fun - not that we aren't friendly but most of what we do together is end-game content.
OK, After a little over a month I'm now a strapping level 45 sometimes assassin, sometimes horn tooting bard.
I'm having a good amount of fun with the game. Having only played WOW for about 6 months a few years ago and no other MMO's, I'd have to say it's a very close WOW clone ( obviously ). Which isn't a bad thing.
They obviously did something right w\ the game design. A game you never finish? Great idea. I'm at about 150 hours gameplay for my initial $10 and this months $15, which as far as money is concerned beats out any other $50-60 new release I could pick up and finish in 20 hours or less.
Did most people already quit playing though?
Is this game worth the time and $$ ?
To be honest .. im playing world of warcraft for more than 4 years ....
But i want something new and refreshing ...
Is there alot of players in realms like wow ?
will i have a problem finding groups or help or guild ... etc ?
And is it that "Good" like wow ? with the support and addons and help functions like raid and instances finder etc ... ?
im not sure .......
If your like me beeing a wow player ... did u regret leaving wow ? consedring the community and gameplay?
Thanks

I loved it for a few months but then I hit max level and did all the instances for the most part and was just running them over and over. Eventually fewer and fewer people on the guild were logging in when i was logged in so I quit.
Same thing happened to me. I couldn't decide if i wanted to be a primary tank, dps, or healer with my cleric so i kept grabbing separate pieces of T2. I eventually became tired of grinding plaques because the variety of T2 dungeons is lacking.
