Wow.....not once have i seen a game have such good feedback and reviews.....This game looks pretty solid. I am gonna try it out. First gotta get a CC though to play trial....which kinda stinks tho =/....

population and unless you like being ganked you will not want to play
there.
I would suggest you start on Gareth. If you want to play the
underdog I think Mid needs people, if you want the overpopulated realm
then play Alb.
and if you want to play with all the cool people (like me) join on Hibernia. You can actually join any of the servers in the Classic cluster, Gareth, Lamorak or Ector... as there are teleporters that will let you transfer between the 3 servers any time you like. Start on Gareth unless you have trouble getting the name you want..then consider the other two.
We have excellent PvP (RvR actually) on our cluster. I was in Thidranki last evening and there were Albs everywhere.... they held the center keep and were like a giant zerg. We normally hold our own..but they did all the owning last evening. Thats ok, earlier in the week we held the center keep and it was the Albs doing the assaulting.
Like was mentioned...the Mids seem to be relegated to playing spoiler and attacking either of the two sides at an opportune moment... or rolling the countryside looking for players in small groups.....

Correction to the above poster. Hibernia has had the underpopulation bonus for the last few months, and it was incorrect, as they actually have had the highest. Mythic has stated on the Herald that they are aware of this oversight and will fix the problem that happend back when they clustered the server.
BGs are no way to judge population. The zerg changes almost monthly. One month it may be Hibs having the nimbers, the last few its been the Mids.
As for NF, mids have the most 8 man guilds of either realm. And they have perfected the AssJam..ask in game what that means. Hibs are the easiest of the three to play since they have the numbers, they have the classes that have exploits that are easy to do and use <bainshees still casting through wall not fixed> and lastly, the Cata classes are were made for NoN TOA servers, and any nerfs that would make them on par with the rest of the classes would have to be judged from a NON TOA point of view. Classic servers arent taken into consideration for that.
I would say pick the realm that has the lore you think you would most enjoy. Midgard is Norse mythology with Vikings, Valkyries, dwarves and Trolls. Hibernia is Celtic Mythology with Celts, Elves, Lurikeen, and Firbolgs. Albion is the home of Camelot and reflects Arturian mythology in its classes of Britons, Highlanders, Saracrens, and Half Ogres. (only a few of the races mentioned here.) All the realms reflect the mythology with alot of fantasy mixed in--allows for many new story lines and quests this way.
is not the most populated realm on the Classic servers. It is
Hib. This has been remarked by Mythic employees on boards.
Further, the current bonus to those servers is all 5 days. This
means in therms of RvR/Population things are supposed to be "roughly"
equal.
The information came directly from the Herald.
Hib attracts the most players since the Catacombs expansion came out--
thats generally agreed upon by any of the game boards, eg; VN,
daoc.catacombs, ect.
I left Hibernia after having played
there since the game's inception, and was forced to move when 500
fanbois flooded our server once word got out that vamps are an easy "i
win" button in both pve and rvr. A class that allows solo farming and
solo PvP with such a high success rate, or at least a better than
average chance of success depending on which server your talking about,
will attract a ton of players, and finding groups for rvr or pve while
leveling are gone.
I dont care about the vamps game balance that people whine about. I do care that they are a community destroyer.
And currently on Classics, I see more vamps in NF that any of the other servers I've lived on (Merlin, Guinevier, Lancelot).
I do not know specific numbers, but just reading posts on various
boards, new people are attracted to Hib because of the vampiir. And why
not. If I was new to DAoC, i would want a class that would be
easy to level with while learning the game.
lol just dont be a ALB lol. then you will be ok in the game.
and if you like you want to try to play ALB then smack your hand or face and take a hot shower and remind your self dirty ALBS!!!!! wil not get ot me lol.
* i am bored lol*

Actually not
going to. VN is a bunch of whiners and crybabies. DAOC Cats
is Ok, but hardly a piece of authoritaive info. I will trust what
the Mythic employess have said on this forum in regards to Gareth's
population. What was said is that Hib is not the most populated
there. Since the employees have the accurate info then I will believe
him over what are said by players on those forums.
I recently returned to DAOC..and rolled on HIB because 1) I never played that side and 2) they had Vampiirs which were supposed to be easy-mode I-win.
Well, they don't win in RvR quite like people think (they have to build up power or they are dead) but in PvE they are so easy they almost feel like cheating.
I actually rolled a Light Eld which I play regularly and in less than a month of playing I have a 46.5 Vamp and a 41 Eld.
But there really are too many Vamps around... heck, even in crafting they were permitted to craft everything but Spell crafting...while every other class is restricted to only 2 or 3 types.
But hey, its still a ton of fun...and as a ranged caster Vamps die as quick as anyone else if I can get some blasts on them.

heh, I have a vamp, he is mainly a farmer for the other classes i want to play. PVE they are incredible.!! I use my vamp specifically to supply the characters i want to play with gear, money, aurelite ect.
Something ot think about. The TOP RVR player of all the servers is a Vamp. They cannot be that bad..lol
No, I didn't say there were bad.... you just have to be able to stay alive long enough to get power.
As to one of them being the top RVR person, I don't put much stock in that. Just means the dude's unemployed or something and does nothing but play DAOC all day long.
A vamp w/o charge up is dead on the field.
