So, I enjoyed the trial and all and im tempted to buy another month or go back to WoW (only reason i quit was my account got hacked and EVERYTHING got changed, email, password, so i cant get it back)

1. Population seems to be something that concerns me as I hear its quite dead even at the trial t1 area place. What server has a decent population if any and will i be able to do dungeons, liars, and pvp with people or will i be left questing by myself during the mid/late game (yes i want to know about it ALL not just endgame, maybe give me an estimate of players in each tier) Also ive heard a lot about people going to RIFT and was wondering in your opinon if the game has a decent enough population now in a month or so when rift comes out will it be dead?

2. Is there any sort of class customizeation system (like the talent system in wow, ignore the bad spelling xD)

3. Anything else i should know? I've heard about general gameplay bugs but they dont really bother me and to be honest i didnt come cross a single one..

Thanks in advance everyone! :D

4. New question, is the only good place to quest / pvp at where im going to see people is the starting one? (you know how all races start at the same area, i see people there but if i go to say my races unique location would i actually see anyone for the PQs / open RvR sorta places)

Thanks again ^^

1. Population is ok on most english servers. European servers Karak-Azgal and Karak-Norn and US server Badlands are decently populated.

2. Yes there's RR "attribute points" which enable you to specify for a certain build if you want. Next to that you can pick gear for the role you want to play, DPS, resists, armor, healing and so on. Not as extensive as WoW talent trees though.

3. I must say WAR is decently made and I haven't encountered bugs except the usual "monster runs off and is suddenly at 100% health" (2 times) and "I get stuck between rocks and suddenly I'm dead". Not a lot for levelling 6 characters to rank 10.

4. I play on the european servers and the starter areas are well populated, during prime time most public quests are always ocupied with a good number of people. Not sure if a lot of them are trial players but you're far from alone in the first four chapters (rank 1-10).

Those are the top populated servers and probably the only ones you should roll on. Do not roll on Iron Rock.

Population is fine, especially on Badlands(US) but not sure about European servers. Rift will attract a few from the game, but honestly don't see players that are coming from WAR staying with Rift. They will probably play the free month and end up back in WAR again, as Rift's PvP is sub-par compared to WAR's. It only has sc's(or warfronts it's called in Rift), and the open PvP has no objective-based play only ganking in the open world.

2. Is there any sort of class customizeation system (like the talent system in wow, ignore the bad spelling xD)

Yes, plenty of class customizing. Multiple tree's for each class(like WoW) and an additional thing called RR. RR goes up to 80 and the last level you can achieve is 40, you get RR points to put into stats and random things.

3. Anything else i should know? I've heard about general gameplay bugs but they dont really bother me and to be honest i didnt come cross a single one..

On launch yes, tons which is why I quit. Upon returning a week ago I have found no bugs yet, and mostly as I have read it is bug free now.

Thanks in advance everyone! :D

Depends on the server, roll on the top populated ones. Mostly I have seen quite a few people so far and I am rank 15 on a new toon I started on Badlands. Logging into my alts that were high level or maxed I also saw large fights in each tier in the RvR areas(it shows on the map how many players are at a  battle, and where they are taking place

 

Thanks again ^^
