Hey I started playing occasionally about a month ago and it pretty much nails it. I met players even at the least populated locations. The distribution of levels is much wider than on retarded official servers where people play for money and jerk it off till they have a stroke or a heart attack. Market is alive and you could always find what you searching for there, or you could go and spoil materials and resources otherwise and get some fun by rolling over other dwarfs there who are constantly trying to get rich Also there are those who do not like pvp which is nice and diverse. You could also buy a buff in harbor which is nice again if you are going for pvp with some annoying guy. Even though I am lvl 35 I have much fun in it after some experience in here I would say people are nice (except some exceptions we dont mention obviously) in comparison to ru servers where people are mostly egocentric and stuff you know thus this is a much preferable option for more mature individuals who value time and fun without overheating their butthole wtf lol what? hope this helped a bit to make a choice. Oh, wait, x3 is cool as well, plus I have not seen any alternatives and since I direct works well I receive banners offering me to start playing here. So if you believe in common sense this is much prettier version. And honestly I think admins are actually related to the officials making it more of a server that is almost identical to the official tho still having its own features crafted for western settlers so that they enjoy it as much as they can. Thanx
