I'm pretty sure I'm going to start playing AoC. I heard you need to pick your server carefully. Any suggestions, I'm a central time zone gamer.

 avoid the pvp server, when i last played around 6 months ago it was nothing but gank/camp festing, the other servers have plenty of pvp without all the griefing (its grieftastic when you cant level because every decent quest hub is camped by no lifers that just sit around waiting to kill someone who cant fight back over and over and over) you get the idea.

PVE: Wicanna / Set

PvP: Tyranny

RP-PvP: Cimmeria

Can't go wrong with those for population. Down to your choice of style of play.  I have characters on all apart from Tyranny and have good experiences. I can only recommend through experience here. Other servers I have friends on whol all enjoy their respect server communities too.

I always liked Wicanna for a pve server. The community there was quite large and very helpful and I managed to get into a good guild that I was able to team up with and knock out all the group quests I had sitting in my log.

I more I see people going back to this game, the more I want to give it another shot.

I played Set. Never had an issue getting teams for instances, or pick-up raids either. Plus there are several guilds that are big and allied well enough to get a full guild raid going at end game.

 The other servers not listed above have horrible populations.

Just pick one server and see if you are happy with it. If not you can always change server later on:)
