Why made f2p community on Aerie Peak?

    • just curious... since AP had such a low population, long dungeon/BG queue time

    deserted low level zone



    isn't server that was assign for new player be more suitable?

    example...

    Uldum

    Bladefist

    Drenden

    or Vashj (PvP)
     
    The BG queue times are dungeon queue times are the same on all servers. (I think)
     
    lol yea dungeon and bg is xrealm....derp
     
    I'm new to F2P but playing since vanilla. It seems there is already a healthy population of f2p twinks on Aerie Peak now, so I prefer to hangout on my old Oceanic realm Dath'Remar where I have friends and the latency is way better for me. With the growing numbers of F2P players I don't think it matters too much where you base yourself as long as you /join f2ptwink in order to meet likeminded people. Then of course, /chatlist f2ptwink to see who else is online, or use the addon provided in the f2p guide. Haven't seen anyone else join that channel of Dath yet, but if any Oceanic peeps want to start there, I'm always happy to chat! I'm Alliance side, but will get round to making some horde toons some time.

    Edit, I always type ftptwink instead of f2ptwink by mistake!

    All those listed names are f2p on Dath. I have four 85s frozen there and some 85 friends. I may re-subscribe some time but I really like the new f2p restrictions and the 20s bracket seems quite fun and competitive, more so than the lower brackets that are dominated by heirloom-clad twinks. I miss my heirlooms and uber chants sometimes but I enjoy the challenge of trying to out-thwart better geared players.

    Not sure about Brazilian server but Oceanic servers can definitely join you in there but trying to get the same pop could be difficult in this populated bracket. As I understand it, last year's change to create cross-Battleground Group queuing means if we used the same Vent we could enter the same BG, but it also makes it more difficult to fluke un-grouped premades. I was a member of QQ during this change and the pops were terrible. So I guess the short answer is no, which also means Aerie Peak is the better option, providing you have p2p players to help you form groups, which clearly you do. Of course, then there's the time difference to consider. I might be on Aerie Peak wanting to pvp when most of you are sleeping, in which case I can't get into a premade anyway.

    I could care less about queing with alot of people, getting 2 agms on a deserted server is much more worth it.

    I'm pretty sure the new brazilian servers are still in the NA/LA/Oceanic server group.

    if oceanic is qued with us, then ??
     
    There are plenty of servers with F2P Population, aside from AP, Galakrond is a pretty good one for alliance characters. They are slowly branching to horde

    Fair enough, but personally I see getting AGM as too much of a chore when I'd rather try lots of different class/spec combos on different servers. I'd love to try running 20s with premades. Does it happen often on AP?
