um, new to server.. the basic question
 

Hi :)

Is this server alive and kicking..enough people to get groups with?

My wife and I are looking forward to grouping in U/LGuk (As soon as Amelinda or Bort give me an answer to my petition, we can get going!), are these zones still populated with enough ppl?

Cheers,

Groups are not too hard to get
 

People go to upper and lower guk, but since my character only recently can go to lower guk and it's not too populated when I'm on, I haven't had much chance to go there and lfg. I got in plenty of upper guk groups. Plenty of grouping at pretty much any of the old hot spots, although there are times when it can be difficult to get one together.

Since Kurnak opened, Old world low level zones are empty. You should go to Kurnak to find peoples and you will find a group.

What lvl are you now ? Around 20 ?

Server's pretty active, you shouldn't have much trouble find groups.

Just a heads up, both you and your wife will need to have made a character each in order for them to OK the IP Exemption. Just don't be playing them both at the same time, of course.

We havent started yet, just made the characters last night.. but not played yet coz we cant play together.

Could easily confuse a new person. Dont have 1 person playing two characters at the same time.

Yeah Char's are made. My understanding was the IP Exemption was made in order for more then one person to play together at the same time on the same IP, such as my wife and I. We have a router where our computers are connected to.

Anyway, thanks for replies.. we are really looking forward to seeing the old sights again together :)

The petition process was pretty quick, me and the wife got the nod in about 24hrs. The server has been awesome. loads of people, even late at night when im just getting home from work at 11pm cst.

24hrs.. lucky you :) I've just been told upto a week.. maybe we get lucky.

I think Amelinda posted somewhere that she does the IP exemptions roughly once/week. Which is better than response used to be, I remember hearing horror stories of up to 3-4 weeks. Assuming you have your information and everything submitted to the right place, I'm sure you'll be playing in no time!

I am a bard, so I soloed most of my 1-50, but I think UGuk is pretty popular. LGuk is less popular, but if you BYOG you can probably do fine. If one of you are a porter, BYOG is super easy!
