Most go for Firran because of its racial traits reduce fall dmg by 30%.
The server i am in most of the big SEA guild such as Synapse are on east continent.

Thats why i am going there to play with them

should i play? there's f2p right? so no harm trying. what server/worlds are most of you at?

so what server does most of the MY/SG/SEA people play in this game>?

They are in Kyrios.
I think i will join that server too... i prefer a good community, about the land, maybe i will just wait.

server in Eu rite? u all not lagging ?

You can choose to join EU or NA, i think it will be much laggier if we
play on EU servers.

Dunno why but it seems most oceanic guilds go for east rather than west,mebe they like
meow-meow???

Most of the SEA players are in Kyrios & Ollo
Its not recommend to roll to Kyrios server if your F2P, as when queuing they will be "General Queue" = F2P and "Patron Queue" = Patron users.
Its recommended to login at 5pm-8pm GMT+8 as these time they will be less/non queue.

All lands in Kyrios is filled up. Filled up in first 12hours of the headstart.

wow..need to queue for 30mins...haha
i don't know it is consider a good thing or bad thing..haha

Which server are you in queue? only need to wait 30mins?
I've been queuing Kyrios for 3+ hours already, still need to wait another 2 hours

Inoch, starting from 1500. I'm now on 750 , dropping pretty fast.
Kyrios was 3k plus. I just downloaded the game to i pick the less queue server to look around 1st.

ya, i started with 3300 and now @ 1284. Players try to stay online even when they afk.

I thought there is a afk kicker.
Anyway i might be joining kyrios too since most of the SEA players are there. But the queue is a pain.

ya, server auto kicks anyone who afk after awhile. But old trick never gets old, stuck a coin on your keyboard should always work.

I know saying this will hurt myself (making the queue longer), but I still wanna say this:

ArcheAge is much more group-orientated than your common themepark MMO.
It's almost like UO/Shadowbane/DAoC...it's impossible to "truly play" this game or even get far, unless you group-up and interact with other.
In such a game, the community you interact/group with, directly affects your in-game well-doing and experience.

Another few weeks down the road, the queue will surely disappear. Players who come playing ArcheAge without the correct attitude/expectation, some will adapt, but majority will just leave...

I can even say that, ArcheAge is designed to be P2P only, the F2P is just a "trial-in-disguise". Land is not a requirement to enjoy the game, but it will enhance your enjoyment immensely. The real problem is at the Labor Point system.
See, land is not required INDIVIDUALLY to enjoy the game, because even if you can't grab a land for yourself, you still can visit/use/share properties with your guild/"family". It's part of the game design, you can configure land/farm permissions.
But without Patron status, not only you don't get queue priority, you will be very short on Labor Point, which harshly prevents you from contributing/co-operating in your community activity, such as ship-building/house-building/crafting/etc. FYI, even when you died and revived, it will cost labor point to reclaim lost EXP! Labor Point is needed for all major operations in game, I don't see how F2P players can get away with it.
So...feel free to try out this game by playing F2P, learn the ropes, get a feel...but you will understand quite fast, that what I say is true

Although I started my character at the wrong side (I chose West, but I'll start a character at the east soon), I am still pretty sure that, even with the long-queue, Kyrios is the right choice in the long-run, due to the proximity of population to us. Because population across all servers will surely drop and stabilize...the queue will either be gone, or become negligible, or solved by developers in the long run (by adding more server, increase max player cap, or whatever). So, you better join a server which has many players of close-proximity in geography or culture in the beginning, otherwise few months down the road there would be too few left for you to enjoy this game with

If nothing else, just ask yourself this:
Would you prefer a server where many who play with you have approximately the same lag?
Or prefer to play in a server where everyone else is <100ms, but you alone has >200ms?

well said, that was what i'm thinking about, after a few month, the queue will decrease.
thats why i will always stick to a server which community comes 1st

how big is the file size?

8.6GB... Downtime now...just came back from work...what a bad day.

23.1 GB after expand
