You could always try "Local Bloke" on Union.

On Union I joined Union Chat and Sals Badgehunters. Union Chat seemed to be the more active of the 2 and filled with very colourful characters

And what are you doing on Freedom, Damz? I could have sworn you'd join the madhouse on Justice!

Craft your inventions in AE!!

Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!

I've managed to secure my namesake across all servers, as well as my Elec/Elec Brute - Domestic Battery

My Arch Nemesis has also been secured, but if you see General DoomStone in the area, please be aware he is probably hungover and in need of a team of criminals to assist his latest ploy.

It was probably taken by a Local Man, you'll have to be the "Not So Local Man".

On a side note, what are the NA servers like, are there some dedicated more to farming RPG etc?

I'm looking to makes some alts there and wondered which ones would be best for me. Just looking for a server with a decent population of friendly people, I mainly play in PUGs.

L50s: Tanks: Cryofission - Ice/EM - Dr Celsius - Fire/Ice - Saint George - SD/SS | Controllers: Psichosis - Ill/Kin - Major Chaos - Ill/Stm | Scrappers - Neutron Crusader - DM/SR

Currently Levelling: Angelic Blade - BS/WP Scrapper | Seeds of Destruction - Plant/Kin Controller

Heh, I had something of a related problem - I had several other ideas before I made my Demons/TA, but I realized "You know, those would be perfect for the upcoming Steampunk Pack!"

Virtue and Freedom are consistantly the most populated, and Virtue is the "unofficial RP server."

I will let others speak for the "unofficial" titles of any of the other N/A servers.

IF you like to PuG, Freedom may be your best choice as it has the highest population. As a native Freedomite, I will warn you that Atlas Park is flooded with AE spam, but once you leave Atlas, it gets much better.

Thats just a polite way of calling us a bit . . . . . . mad right?

Well like i said on UC, its the only channel that i know of that is as active as it is with the purpose of just talking about anything. I'll be happy to try out any server but do need a good place to just chat too on it

@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

I know "Freedumb", and Pinnacle is the Drunk Server. And IIRC Justice is the unofficial Australian server.

Virtue's pretty good too. Population is maybe a little smaller than Freedom, but not by much and sometimes it actually edges ahead.

What I've found most appealing about Virtue though is the publicly available global channels there for forming PuG teams and TFs seem to be a lot more active than Freedom's. The only really active public Freedom global I've managed to find is the TF one that's almost never got space for new people to join (I accidentally left it at one point and it took me a couple months before I managed to get back in).

Despite common belief though, I've not found either to have any real difference in the quality of player, whether by ability or personality.

I didn't even think to grab names on Union! I just made a new toon. Well, I know what I'm doing when I go home!

I wound up Claiming Desi Nova on both Defiant and Union. and as far as on Justice goes. the main Channels to join there are JFA2010 and/or Justice United (the latter is a little more family friendly)

On Justice
Global @Desi Nova Twitter: @desi_nova Steam: Desi_nova. I don't do Xbox or PS3

Since the early days I've owned the name Mouse Police on every server but Champion. I now own it on Union as well and, for good measure, on Zukunft. Maybe I'll try the French server as well. But it turns out there's a Mouse Police other than me somewhere out there on Defiant. I guess that's only fair, since the name comes from a song by Jethro Tull, an English band. ^_^

I've been planning on rolling an alt on Vigilance, but I realised that my French education is woefully lacking in phrases like "roll an alt", "lvl 2 lf sewers", "is there a badge channel" and "no I would not like to ERP with you tonight".
