Since the free character server transfer deal is going on, I've been wondering about the servers I'm currently on. I've been with Justice since I began playing the game, and migrated to Virtue when Villains came out (for SG reasons). I know Virtue and Justice are fairly populated and lively, but I was also wondering about actual teaming. So here are my questions to all experienced players:

Which server best fits Heroes who like teaming, doing TF's and events, and has a generous population with the least amount of problems (as in overpopulation during huge events and drama)? Same question for Villains?

Which server best fits PvP Heroes? Villains?

I most likely won't switch servers, but it's good information to have for people wanting to switch servers or for n00bs.

Solely PVP? Freedom. It's probably the only reason I'd go there. And since I'm considering moving people *off* of there, well...

Otherwise, my advice would be to wander down to the server specific forums, poke around a bit, and see when various events are. Most servers have scheduled raids, TF groups and the like in my experience. If something looks interesting... ask there.

I guess that counts me out.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

As an aside: The last few 2xXP events haven't yielded the otherwise-typical server lockouts on Freedom like they used to do. Whether that's due to "the other game" or some backend streamlining of the player management capacity is something for Paragon Studios to discuss, and I imagine they're not telling.

Freedom's less about drama and more about sheer noise, which is offputting to someone who's not prepared for it. Trust me, judicious use of /ignores for your first day or two is enough to get through most of the noise. We have a fair amount of organizers too, for massive TF runs, raids, what have you (although we don't have many "themed" events like Virtue has). It's very much a "run with the bulls" attitude there. Suits us fine, but might not be for everyone. Doesn't stop you from organizing such events, however, and we've had a few of those lately.

Hope this helps, good luck wherever you decide to head.
