deadfolk: I'm pretty much the same - mainly solo. I like being in a casual guild, as you get to know the people and can help each other out, but there's no obligation.
I've not had time to play for a few weeks, and they've introduced free server moves since I was last on, so my guild might even have scattered to the four winds for all I know. I can recommend my server, though - Shadefallen. Really great community. It's an RP server, but people don't really RP much in my experience. There are just less dicks.
Not sure about the ability to join a guild on a trial a/c. To be honest, you're probably better playing without a guild for the first few days anyway. It encourages you to explore and get stuff yourself without being handheld.
Yeah, I can imagine that being the case, as it was on the RP server I played on years ago in WoW. I always get stuff on my own as well anyways and explore. I was more just wanting people to talk to, rather than have people help me out. I'll see if I can transfer one of my characters, Darrias, to the server. I'm from the guardian faction though. In any case, it isn't much trouble re-rolling as he's only level 3 or 4 atm, if you do fancy grouping, chatting or whatever should we be on at the same time.
Got the CD key now as well, so I'll just wait until the trial ends before entering the key.
Again, thanks for the info.
Edit: Odd, can't see the server mentioned in either the transfer queue or the normal one. Certainly not under the english language ones anyway. You're not on the US servers I assume, with being from Ireland?
