Messed around with the crafting today. It takes some effort but its much more rewarding compared to my other mmo experiences. (except SWG of course). I still need to try a trade run but waiting for me chickens so i butcher them.
Btw does anyone know how long your chickens stick around in a public farm?

Yea i must say the amount of stuff to do in the world is growing on me, even though the questing/leveling is meh so far , it's not half bad , just nothing new. I am enjoying the fact that there's gliders , boats to fish from , these coaches between towns and i like how they implemented mounts too (the whole leveling them up, getting skills and mounted combat).
I am not convinced about owning and building a house at this point though, they look rather boring and bland to me (the houses i've seen). Owning a piece of farming property to grow stuff (since that seems to take ages) is maybe another story, but i am actually amusing myself by growing crops out in there in the open and see if its there the next day/x hours to harvest (so far newbies are running right over my crops because they can't harvest it while in the starting area).
Sadly while i didn't have a queue this morning, there's now a 2500+ queue on the EU server i was on, and all other servers have queues. I rolled on USA servers now, zero queue and still pretty busy and i'm playing on the old servers.
So i can suggest for those that just want to try the game and don't want all this queue hassles, roll on the USA servers. If Trion actually showed me what my queue would be like as a Patron, i might have gone for that at this point, but alas, i am not paying for that if i can't play.
As for the labor points, i can see F2P is not going to get you very far unless all you plan to do is quest and level up your character. Any type of crafting/harvesting and you're screwed.

Oh so THAT is what those "footprints" are ? I saw these footprints around my missing crops and i could report the person when clicking on the footprints, but i thought it was cosmetically placed since i don't actually own any land and was growing crops on someone else's backyard
. I see there's a whole Jury duty/trial channel where people are judged by players, not sure how it works but i guess you get randomly asked to serve on a jury and vote.I see the new EU servers are up:

Unfortunately i'm screwed, since i need to delete a character to create another one and to delete it i need to queue! /facepalm.

Yea, the catch 22 with this game is, there are limited property and limited property in good spots. So in a way if you are seriously into crafting and house building and all that, it might be better to be on a quiet/empty server.... how the PvP/Wars/Market will work is another story though. Trion really got their work cut out for them in balancing populations when the hype dies down.
So far only guild notices i saw are these guys:

Unfortunately Dahuta is like THE most popular server in the EU, so logging in there is just well, not gonna happen for me at this point.
I will probably re-roll on the new servers tonight and hope someday there are transfers or something.
On a side note, i played on a USA server last night, one of the more popular ones and had no queues, BUT and it is a big but, the community encountered was absolutely horrendous. I soon realised the people playing during that time of day on USA servers that are not from EU are kids still in school or people who basically don't work during the day. So i felt surrounded by a bunch of immature idiots who constantly kill steal / tag mobs and spam channels with constant trash talking.
I did not notice this -that- much on the EU servers , ironically i will take German/French gibberish over the L33T trash talk i saw on the USA servers any day.

Trying to level in Hellswamp.
Anyway, the 3 new EU servers seem crazy. There was something like 300 people in the starting area last night. Completely impossible to get mobs for quests.
Press Shift-R to mass invite (radius invite) everyone into a raid group...problem solved. If you see someone asking you to join a raid, that is why they are doing it.
And no queues on the 3 new servers, and queues on the others, so guess where i am rolling.

lol yea just got to level 5 since i started late last night, when ppl took my quest mob was like -_-
Eastern faction, ign cabby
Cool also on eastern, ign semirhage . About lvl 13 now and was spending way too much time trying to farm on public land (where no one can find and harvest my plants) .
I decided to get patron status (since i can log in without queuing so far) , it is really terrible logging in and having 0 Labor Points , you can't even freaking open loot bags without LP.
So while you can get far and you can quest&level 100% without needing LP, the catch is, you will miss out on so much stuff that the game will be mighty boring , because you will literally just be quest grinding and nothing else.
Also tip: don't buy any of these starter/silver/gold packs, it's a rip off! Buy the credits and buy the items individually, there's nothing in those packs you can't buy in the store. Quite a few players already made the calculations, you lose alot on the silver $50 pack vs. buying $50 worth credits etc etc.
