Freedom or Virtue? I am moving some alts there.

Freedom has large populations doing just about everything. The farmer and pvp population is also very large here so take that into consideration. Despite what is generally said about it I find most players to be normal, however. Just avoid Atlas Park 1 like the plague.
Virtue is the unofficial NA-side RP server, but RPers are (and have always been) a distinct minority. Honestly, if you don't go looking for it, the most you'll see is a lot of long bios and the occasional in-character quip during missions. Server-side lag is practically nonexistent in my experience. Raids and trials both happen on a regular basis, pretty much every TF in the game is run a few times a day, and teams aren't too hard to find, so there's a good community there if you wanna kill doods.
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

I have alts filling both servers. As a non-farmer and non-rper, I really don't find there to be much difference between the two. Maybe ((slightly more use of OOC denotation)) when team chatting on Virtue, but only slightly (I almost never encounter any full blown RP). Otherwise it's similar population sizes, similar activity in terms of trials, tfs, etc, and despite the propaganda, similar quality of players. I'd maybe give a slight edge to Virtue on public global channels - I've only managed to find one properly active global on Freedom (Freedom TF) and it's a smidgen more prone to /broadcast quality chatter (vs actual team/event forming) than the Virtue equivalents - course that may be a plus point, depending on your preferences.
The RPers aren't as much a minority as you think. Most of us just keep our RP out of folks' way, in the SG bases, in teamchat, etc. However, I do run into a ton of RP in the open in Atlas, and in mission speak, on Virtue.
Just... don't go to the D. It's scary there.
I've been to both servers. Come to Virtue. Virtue, in my experience, has been more polite and far less profane. My first six minutes on Freedom involved numerous f-bombs and the N-bomb about four times afterwards from 50+1 players flying around Kings.
As Hank Hill would say, "Buhuhuh. D:"

Freedom is the best server. You definitely want to go to Freedom.

The SFs aren't that rare to see forming, either. Teaming is noticeably less active villainside, but I've managed to level a villain or two primarily through PUGs. Villain stuff is harder to find than hero stuff, yeah, but that goes for every server.

You should report people like that no matter what server you are on.

Oh believe me, I did. I just never see that behavior on Virtue.

This is a misrepresentation of what Virtue is. We are only RP Friendly--Not some kind of a RP enforced gulag. And laggy? Since when--I've been on Virtue for 7 years? If anything, now that many VIP's have moved off Virtue for the Exalted server, we have a lower population than ever atm.

I meant what people says about Virtue, is that is very laggy and RP.
Wanted to know what people says about Freedom.
And to be true, I got 2 characters I leveled to 50 and never felt forced to RP while teaming or Virtue server lag to be worst than other servers.
I have a projetc and I will move some of my alts to put them in a single account SG.
I come from Union, and got 2 characters in Virtue.
Not sure if I should go to Freedom with them, never tried that server.
What are the main differences between Freedom and Virtue?
I know people says Virtue is RP server and laggy.
What about Freedom? Which server should I pick for a Ninja thematic single account SG? I like to play the game, TFs and even AE, not only Incarnate grind.
Thanks in advance.
