This guild on Live caught my eye actually.

They are a progression based guild on Test server. Test works as if you have a subscription, but is completely free. Downside being its down more often than normal servers and they can patch stuff on there that is broken.

You can get to level 50-60 really quick on live and join them if raiding is your thing.

If you are absolutely not a raider and prefer grouping, P99 for you IMO.

I talk to one of their officers frequently (Protocol). Almost joined but I already had three level 80s when he asked and was 90 before they started raiding. Didn't feel like rerolling. They actually do a damn good job though, Only downside is multiple level 95's farm old raid mobs for gear, epics/quests, flags, mounts, or simply to see if they can. Makes their competition even worse than you'd find with TMO over here. At least until GoD+ when raid mobs go instanced (and PoTime).

Firstly, you can easily /testcopy -> Bind yourself next to some level 95+ mobs and afk a few hours and you'll be down to level 60. Your main character on its native server will not be affected, as they are on test.

Secondly, the test server is VERY dead. Barely any level 95's plat there, let alone farm old raid mobs for stuff. The night they opened Kunark they found VS and Trakanon up for example.

Downside is no classic VP for them, so no phat VP loots. But that passes and is irrelevant when Velious and later expansions are released.

About /testcopy. I know, but I don't have a toon to copy anymore lol. The 3 accounts I use now are brand new, as I lost my original account (that I used from Classic-Secrets of Faydwer) when I quit. Actually...I shouldn't say "lost"...more like "wiped all info then gave to a friend and that friend and I have since grown distant and she still has the account" lol. Either way I no longer have anything to copy, what I have on Test is what I have period now. lol

And as for the low pop, yeah Test is relatively dead, but at least since F2P you'd be surprised. It's somewhat active. (We won't pretend free Gold membership has nothing to do with that). Old mobs are downed quite a bit, Luclin ones mostly, due to the fast mounts. As well as a couple for epics (some people chose to do the 1.0 for the achievement/title rather than just do 1.5 prequest and skip it)
