I used to play this a lot, actually - it was the game I was mostly playing before switching to FFXIV. I ended up switching to FFXIV because it was something new/more interesting, and general meh-ness about some other things in TSW including the end game.

That said, I did buy into a lifetime and I know some roleplayers there and it's something I have been meaning to get back to on playing at some point.

For what it's worth, what server you play on is ultimately irrelevant if you are just looking to roleplay, since the game is broken up into servers and instance shards to distribute the population for server load relevance, only. You can actually 'meet up' on anyone who is your friend (or in your party) across both servers and instances. The only relevance for servers is where you default, as well as for PVP populations.

My main is 'Tatsudoshi', a Dragon member. ;P We don't get a very good representation and tend to have the fewest numbers on most servers. I guess people don't like control through chaos. Either that, or they're too drawn in to Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll of the Illuminati, or the idea that the name Templar puts in most people's minds.

The Dragon's idea of figuring the theory of Chaos Theory is a fascinating field of thought...it just doesn't really gel with my character's concept. ^.^;;

Oh, point I should make...I was WAY off on my QL level.Â I thought I was QL3 or QL4.Â Turns out I'm QL6.Â hehehehe.... ^_^;;

Regardless, I'm at Blue Mountain, parked currently at the Franklin Mansion.Â Probably going to have to deal with more of the dffshafj; ak'ab.

Quite a while ago they made a change to the Ak'ab that causes them to chain agro from ridiculous far away, and I have no idea why they did it and the fact that they didn't change it leads me to believe this is what they intended, and it's pretty...Â pretty awful.

I frequently volunteer to help people eradicate the Ak'ab menace, so if you are still having problems with dealing with them and their across-the-map-nearly agro chaining, feel free to give me a poke and I can log in and shoot some bug things up.

Servers are irrelevant, you say? O.o Also, my character info in case anyone wants to track me down:

Character Name: Vincent "DirtyNeedles" LaCerta (the nickname is purely OOC. But it relates to his background quite well, I'd say. I might have his codename as Needles.<3)
Server: Arcadia
Society: Illuminati
Preferred Weapon: Claws

You simply right click on someone in your party or on your friends list and hit 'Meet Up', and the person on the other side will get a notification that you are trying to meet up with them. Assuming that the instance that they are on is not full, when they accept the game will teleport you to to the same map as they are on, regardless of instanceID or server, so long as you have access to an anima well on that map. (This may have been changed at some point, can't say for certain since I have access to all the wells on all the maps on my characters)

What this means is that if you rolled on the 'wrong' server, you can still attend events that are being hosted by people on other servers, provided that the number of people attending doesn't max-out the map limit.

That is a very cool game mechanic to have added.Â Geek

Â I'm liking this game more and more. Having played last night and now being on Solomon Island (gradually getting to grips with it. Maxed out Illuminati lore pieces and levelling on sidequests before I do too many story quests), it's a really enjoyable occult "APOCALYPSE NOW!" type game.Â Big Grin

Just an update: I am positively loving this game! If anyone has an interest in it, I would recommend it. Especially if you have an interest in darker MMOs (with the exception of quite frequent comical relief and references, or at least that's what I find playing Illuminati).

The PvP system is annoying me as it's rather like the other games. Gear up and jump around in circles around your target. But still learning that aspect! The rest is absolutely great. Smile

(Playing an Assault Rifle/Claws healer. It's not a widely used combination until later levels, but I am making it work with custom skill builds. ^_^)

I need to take a break from TSW and SWTOR to play more FFXIV, buuut. What server shard on TSW? Arcadia?

Asgarn · **02-04-2014, 04:33 AM**

Arcadia, yes. Smile

Â Add "DirtyNeedles". My only regret is that in chat you don't come under your 'RP name' DirtyNeedles is my PvP name. (PvP healer, oh yeaaaah...Â Tongue

Â Though, I might make him AR/Claws DPS for PvP. Â They're pretty devastating.)

Your name has been added, Mr. Needles.Â :3Â Hope to see you amongst the filth sometime.Â Heart
