Which classic server?

Hello everyone.



Well I have been thinking about trying out DAOC again since I am bored with all the other games out now. In the past 3 years I just havent found anything to compare with it.



If I come back I will come to a classic server and start over.



Which classic server has the most population?



Gareth, Lamorak, or Ector?



From looking at the Camelot Herald guild data it looks like Gareth?



Also how is the RvR action now on the classic servers? Are there enough people on to  actually have fun/ take/defend a keep?



Thanks for info

    The three servers: Ector, Gareth and Lamorak are clutered.

    This means that the mainland, new fronteers, the battle grounds (all of them), SI, and DF are basically 1 big server with no destinction between the 3 servers.  Housing however is still split into the 3 servers respectively.

    This means that  you'll see people from all three servers running about fighting along sied you, even having cross server guilds.

    So in regards to your population questions yeah Gareth has more people on it but it really doesen't matter anymore. 

    No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

    Ahhh I see. Thanks for the info. I havent played in 3 years hehe. I was under the impression that alot of the pve zones and guilds were still separated and it was just the rvr areas and a few dungeons that were combined. I want edto make sure I can find groups for pve content and quests.



    Why do they keep the guild info and servers separated on Camelot Herald still? They should just rename the clusters to one name if everything is combined now.

    Wooo cluster berries.



    They can't just name it as one because: A: they'd lose half the round table, and B: if they keep them separate, you can play multiple factions on the same cluster...

    I played on Garth and i loved it, good community and enough players to help you with anything you need, i recommend this server to anyone who wants to play on a Classic server =).

    I've trolled around on these boards all night tonight, and I have to say you guys have sold me.  The only thing preventing me from coming back sooner was server population.  I thought for sure that DAoC was a dead game.  I'm thrilled to hear otherwise.  You'll be seeing me soon.

    The only reason I would not say Gareth is that if you want to buy a home.  I would go to Ector because I think it has the lowest pop and then start there.  All of the zones are clustered so it should not matter for playing, it just means your housing zone will have empty lots to buy a house with.

    I found one in Alb/Gareth for the lowest price, 300g. I had to camp it for awhile tho. I'd recommend going to camelotherald and then checking the vacant lots from housing directory. That's how I found mine
