Best eu server?

I've started on Antaras and now I see at 7 pm eu time it's "MEDIUM" with only 4 servers being HIGH.

How many are on a medium server estimated? The worst thing in a mmo is to play on an empty world, now it's not empty but after the expansion lays down some more, many will quit, will we be left with LOW pop servers or they merge them often?

I believe every account gets 1 free, or they may have given 1 recently due to the full servers and qs. I remember after the game originally launched they gave a free 1 out. I'm happy you have a free one, pick wisely!

Reroll just means make a new character on another server. If you are low level it doesn't matter much about the time you already spent, you'll pass your other character in no time.

you've been helpful but i got another question, if i try say at 3 am, can i transfer to say one of the most populated server? Atm i cant because it says server full, truthfully it's like HIGH and some have ques so understandable. I ask because i've seen how some servers don't allow new chars.

When new content gets released and there's an uptick in returning and new players, the servers that have long q times get locked from new character creation and/or transfers. Fresh servers with the sun icon cannot be transfered to at all, you can only create a new character there.

The reason for locking servers is because for AGS, the problem is the q times, which is a good problem to focus on for the existing player. It isn't helpful for players looking to transfer to or character create on a server where there friends already are.

If you are a solo player, I would pick the server that fluctuates the highest in your preferred region. You can see 24hr/1week and specific hourly player numbers on that website if you click around towards the top and the green bars, the tallest one should show highest pop of the day.

Later on in a few weeks or so, maybe months, the servers unlock and you can transfer to more populated servers if yours is declining, or they may do a merge.

If you want to play on a fresh server you cannot transfer there, you will have to wait if none are open.

To answer more clearly, no. Those locked servers stay locked until AGS unlocks them at a future date. It looks like there's only 1 open option in the EU Central region.
