Death Is a Priveledge

Came back right after unchained and noticed i had a 40 necro that id like to take all the way to cap. I did hear a lot of good things done in Godslayer but in all honesty im looking for a good PvP game to hold me over til TOR/GW2 and WoW is just bleh for me. Long story short, id like to know how the games population is on PvP/PvE Servers (Not Caring Much about Sieges since they are still bugged as s*it since launch) in terms of PvP Mini's and Open World PvP and class balances. And my final question is the new server type added with the new F2P model (blood and glory or somewhatever >.>) as far as how effective is leveling through PvP fair and how the Population is on those servers. Names and info would be great, thanks in advance guys.

I mostly recall the PvP servers were as pointless as WAR PvP servers, but id actually like someones thoughts on the level progression through PvP on the blood and glory servers and thoughts of the PvP in general. I.E. Class balance (I have not been in the game for a very long time.)

The open world PvP happens not that often but by far the frequency of mini's (pvp battlegrounds) on tyranny pops way more often than other servers.  Also having played on multiple servers the level of competition on Tyranny is MUCH MUCH higher.  The PvP players are much more skilled than players on the PvE servers.  As a new player try to keep that in mind if you roll there and hit level 80, your most likely going to pay your dues by dying your way to better armor and better strategy's timing etc.

Bear shaman kind of got screwed in the last patch with a somewhat heafty nerf to their dps as for necro though they can be very very strong Pet Necro's are sooo damn annoying and make targeting the player difficult (i.e. have to resort to click targeting a lot of the time).  Tyranny is a good server the PvP is just sink or swim a lot less mercy and a steep learning curve.  You will be better for it though cause you will face some very geared very good players.

Forget it ... PvE wise is the game quite good, but for pvp its a disaster. If you ever played wow battlegrounds than you will hate the minigames here. Its laggy, unbalanced and pointless.

Open world pvp I cant speak of, never played on pvp server.

Im actually more looking forward to people who are actively playing the game. Responses like this sound like 1+ year old, I came back a few times and it wasnt anything like you described. Whens the last time you played? I know that i could just play the game since is free 2 play, but i rather get some opinions to players who are at the level cap.

Hey man I haven't personnaly played on Deathwish but I know a lof of people that are having a blast.  Your reputation there and the friends you make are SUPER important or your going to get destroyed.  Check that link out for specifics if you havent seen it yet.  I've been thinking of rolling a toon there but I have a lot invested on other servers.  Also the server hasn't been out very long and isn't allowing transfers so all the charecters there are freshly created.  It would be your best bet to catch up and really dominate if you plan on playing pretty hardcore.

Deathwish is really active, and if you like pvp that is savage this should be your home.

Ya Deathwish is were its at for gamelay/population , expecialy since everyone started new , even tho you missed the new rush it should be ok , but dont waste your time with the free to play , its far to limited to play .
