Long story short: played the game since launch left to try other RvR mmos like Aion and Aika and give WoW the serveral chances I did before this games launch and later found that WAR's RvR was just unmatched. I guess id start with some questions. Keep mind i really dont care whether to play destro or order but if i could choose i would rather play order. These questions i prefer to have answered by current subscribers and of those subscribers preferably the ones that actively play T2-T3 RvR. Keeping this in mind, my decision to return to WAR cant be made in the Unlimited free trial so dont suggest it please. The past few times i returned to my main server (iron Rock- Order) I found that T2-T3 was very dead. Im aware that most players just grind through LoTD which leaves T3 kinda....tumbleweedy....and was going to ask:
1. Are there more populated servers in terms over lower tier RvR? The hours i play can range from 12pm-5pm GMT to 10pm-3am GMT.
2. Are there any good servers that have sum T3 running regularly, not being PvE tards pooning LoTD mobs with thier level boost ; ;.
3. I guess a server thats decently balanced? And as far as RvR over SC preferences i really dont care which, i just got tired of paying 15 bucks a month for a game i can enjoy hardly 2 hours (primetime) of my enjoyable aspect which is PvP. if i can get between 5m SC pops on primetime hours and maybe a tab bit longer on off time thats plenty for me.
All in all i want to level some toons through T1-T3 without touching much of PvE and LoTD if there is that possibility and if theres a server that has that possiblity please tell. I never really experimented other servers but dont want to waste the 15 bucks i have flying around if its not even worth resubbing. Thanks for you comments in advance.

You could alwasy try Badlands Server its a pretty high population server.
Volkmar is also good as well, Either has a good population.

Thats sounds about right, was told that Badlands was a good server. I do just want ot be 100% sure and not drop 15 bucks and get to T2-T3 and find it a ghost town like the tow times i resubbed on iron rock. I played the game for like 4 hours then uninstalled it after paying 15 bucks for it...
I resubscribe probably once every three months or so. Honestly population is a relative term, as unlike some people I have toons on Gorfang, Badlands, and Iron Rock and it is pretty busy during peak hours. Late night and early morning are slow...but I generally have at least a few to play with. And sadly, 90% of the population rarely do pve anymore...which kinda sucks as that means population dictates gameplay.
I never really considered PvE as a venue when playing Warhammer, i just got spoiled by the PvP to level system way to much. The PvE in war was mediocre at best anyway. If i keep getting replies like this i may just have to resub and give it another go...
It's worth a try if you have nothing else. It has arguably the one of the best pvp's out there. But as I said, your post actually reveals a fault of the game. If there is no one out there to play with (rvrwise), the game loses its appeal. In the perfect MMO, people would turn to pve during off hours for a change of pace but pve has become buggy and the gear is obsolete in many cases. But Warhammer is a work in progress.
Personally, I tend to farm Tali's and such when no one is around to pvp with/against. When the peak hours roll around, I've got some pretty strong gear prepped for battle. But when it IS peak...some of the servers are pretty bustling.
There should be small scale PvP available for off-hours. Scenario queues should be smaller (6v6 rather than 12v12), and BO and keeps should be less heavily guarded by NPCs. There should be item spawns in the RvR zones that are worth fighting for. Like the ordnance drops, but actually useful.

I suppose ill give the game another go then, yeah its true that theres not much else till TERA so might as well give it a shot.
Its worth a shot, like you said.
I found it fun for the first couple of weeks, but sadly the problems people complain about soon come to light and that was enough.
My advice to you would to pick a "decent" class, since the balance is this game is awful at T4. If you go with a Magus for example, you'll end up disapointed and either rerolling or quiting.

I recently resubscribed and the game is pretty much as before. Lower tiers are alot of fun but it seems to get repetetive and boring once you hit T3 with an anti-climax at T4.
However to be honest I havent reached T4 yet, so I am just assuming that it hasnt changed much. But O-RvR seems alot like it was before, avoid the other side and flip empty keeps.
