TL;DR version below
Soo, I just started playing yesterday. Me not paying attention, I just hit select server (which was the top one Verana SEA) and started up. Well, I figured since there were so many people playing the lag was a normal occurrence for now. I play from Florida so now I’m suspecting it to be pretty much ping. Although, in less crowded areas I experience very minimal ping issues and the game is quite playable.
With that out of the way, I just hit level 51 and I was chatting with my grinding group when everyone was saying where they were from. They were all confused when I said I was in Florida. “Aren’t you lagging really bad? Why are you on this server?” Were the questions asked and I told them I didn’t know there was a server for NA.
Come to find out, I did some research and found out that Orsha and Klaipeda were NA based servers. I made a character on Orsha and ran around up to Orsha and literally saw all of 4 or 5 people. At this point I’m being spoiled with literally no lag and I can actually jump attack around monsters and essentially never got hit by attacks.
I messaged a guy who was shouting and asked him if the population was good and he said it was decent but mostly all level 150+. Great, that isn’t going to help me level my terribly hard to grind with full support cleric/priest c3/chaplain until I get to chaplain.
I ran around some more and it was a ghost town!
I made a character on Klaipeda and got the same exact results. Amazing ping, no lag, but it was a ghost town.
At least when I was on verana SEA there were people everywhere and I met some really cool people I played with and would like to continue playing with.
TL;DR
Here’s my question, is the population on Klaipeda good enough for me to start over there since apparently I won’t be able to buy tp or tokens on the SEA server with my friends since I’m US based? I enjoy playing with people across the world. No offense to my NA homies but I don’t want to just be stuck playing with them.
I’m torn between starting new on a NA server so I could possibly buy tokens or suck it up and deal with high ping and not being able to buy tokens so I can kick it with my international homies.
