    Shards

    RP - Europa all the way best rp ever there :)

    PvP - Euro again , lots of people , lots of champs to raid ;)


    Vet shards = Siege Perliours and mungen

    well they are both great in a way

    theres no trammel
    no insurance

    But the skillgain system SUCKS (RoT) its basicly
    you gain like on regular shards up 70 then you can only gain at certin times (cant expalin the RoT sorry)

    Hmm..Elune? Oh wait that is the real WoW not the WoW clone. Honestly good luck coming back now but more than likely you won't last because the game is NOTHING like it once was and the only people that really lasted aren't even happy with the game any longer. Its a great sense of death and decay as you see more and more people spam that they are selling their accounts and leaving the game.

    PvP = Europa? Hmm...PLEASE!!!

    PvP in UO is all about Great Lakes. Great Lakes has defeated every other shard that has tried to match it and it is still going strong. There is an actual enemy (BC) and you actually have to team up with friends and make alliances (such as TDR and R*T) in order to come close to trying to fight that enemy and then you even still lose sometimes due to being outnumbered.

    Great Lakes is the shard to go to if you like actually challenging PvP. Great Lakes also has a great PvM crowd.

    Take a 15 day trial account.

    Roleplay is pretty dead and most say still best on europa shard as even americans come to seek out the communtiy there.

    For PvP i would pick another game, except you either wish to spend months hunting a few hours a day or spending a few hundred dollars for equippment.

    West coast shards that are more heavily populated are

    Baja, and Pacific

    Mid-east coast shards that are heavily populated are

    Lake Superior, Chesapeake, Great Lakes, even Catskills

     

    but every shard I mentioned are veteran shards being that they are so populated they will have a lot of veteran players and more scammers and more....well your chances of running into more crud are just more likely to happen.
