I can confirm that this server is indeed awesome.
Contrary to what was recommended previously, I would say hang near EC tunnel until 12 or so hunting in EC, then NRO and finally WC so you can hit up the tunnel every half hour or so for buffs.
People are extremely generous with buffs while standing around there and it is not that hard to snag a high level damage shield/clarity/regen/sow even during non-peak hours.
I took my first character here to level 10 out at the Erudite homelands and it took about 5 times longer than my human who begged buffs

Edit: Also very easy to set up, just follow the step by step guides. This even runs on Linux/MAC using WINE if you play on a non-Windows OS.
