Me as well recomend play here, i am here from September 2017. We start like a small CP in CZ/SK clan, later we have to leave this small clan and choose one of 3 sides. These 3 sides have a lot of PVP, fight for epics, defend ToI, olympiad games organized.
But still on this server exist few clans which prefer PVE style.
(DivideItEmpera,WhiteWalkers)
Its up to u which way u choose, but i am sure, if u show to ally/clans u are active enough, they will help u enjoy the game. If u choose one of 3 sides, probably u start in academy without wars, when get level (68-69) and u feel for wars they invite to main clan and u can start enjoy the game for 100%.
One more thing - try find a CP or friends which u play with them. Easier leveling up, EV(46+), ABG (55+), LoA, ToI, BS, etc.
Best way is AoE, u can make lure for party.
From me and my CP we wish for all new starters good luck and a lot of fun.
See u in game.
