So i started the 14 day trial two days ago. Since then i have made an elf hunter I played it until level 6. I enjoyed it a lot but i almost never stick with the first character i make, i always wonder what the other classes are like. So i started a Hobbit Guardian. I have him to level 9.
    Im on the BrandyWine server and im enjoying the game thus far..except that i must have a sign on my armor that says "I'll be your bitch" because all the quests in the shire are take this here and then take this here..gather these eggs...make sure the rooster doesnt see you..which i'm hating, but i can get over it.

    The thing im more worried about is that I don't see anyone...I feel as though im the only Hobbit around.. Is it the server im on?..is there just not many low levels?... I don't play mmos for a single player experience.

    Other than that im enjoying the game.

try a human or running your toon to archet near bree after you create it on landroval server if ya want a good server.. Shire seems like mostly fun silly things you'd expect in the shire to me. I cant last long there. But for those who "want" to play a hobbit its right up their alley. the shire has always been fairly empty compared to the other areas. Or just go to bree if you want to see all the people playing. The server your on now is packed...its just the shire has less traffic..just like it should be.

 Im on a buddy key myself and have a lvl 8 human and currently playing  a lvl 4 elf. Compare to my bro which is playing a hobbit, i met much more other players than him.

And the quest in human and elf is, to me and my bro (lvl 13 hobbit), much better than hobbit's. As there is little fetch this and that to here and there.

Btw we are on Elendilmir server.

Go to the stable and take a ride to Bree, pick up some quests there and you move away from the tote and fetch quests.  Personally I think many of the quests where designed in the shire as more hobbit friendly, with their lifestyle, attitudes, and values enacted into the quest line.  Likewise the man area of Bree has quests are more aggressive in nature.

Also Bree seems to be the main congregrating place of most players, you will find much more activity there. 

Good luck and welcome.
