I started on the server yesterday. In my limited experience, it's not as bad as the forums make it out to be. You see some trash talking in /ooc, and there are a lot of people that park twinks in popular XP spots to harass newbie groups. I quickly learned to just ignore /OOC when it gets weird, and just move to a less populated zone when a Twink shows up. I've met plenty of people that are just as nice as you'll find on Blue here, too. In addition, the XP bonus is great, and it's easy to find people for a group in many unconventional zones (or even popular ones, camps are rarely contested.) Nobody really cares that I'm tanking with cloth and leather drops, people are just happy to group up.
