I was disappointed too when I rerolled on AP only to find out it was a pve server after I hit 20. Ive never played anything other then pvp servers because world pvp was the main attraction. Watching the opposite faction standing around at the arena or other area's and there is nothing you can do about it kind of defeats the purpose for someone that likes pvp. And there is a lot of pvp to be had at level 20 and Ive done quite a bit on my other servers while questing or farming mats. Think of all the 20-40 questers out there thinking they are unstoppable in their boa's. Yummy!
But even if non-pvp is fine for some, the main problem Ive seen on AP is the pings are really high. Most people I talk to have a ping of 200+. Im hitting anywhere from 200-350 on a good day, where as the other servers I play are closer to 50-90. The difference can make or break a class, especially those that depend on meelee and positional attacks. Being a rogue and not getting the a sap against other rogues or classes with aoe/marks is not a good thing. Same with an out of range / positional errors when im right behind someone is a nightmare on AP due to my ping. I'm guessing the NY datacenter was chosen with EU players in mind, but its not so hot for westcoast/central players.
I will say the player base on AP is excellent for this bracket Ive had some good times doing the few premades I was apart of.
