Who's in, and what servers should we dink around on? My vote is for Old Man Cho, so Vecter will have people to nap with.

It looks as if the most populated server in NA is going to be Mushin. I don't know what that means exactly for where I'll be rolling, but I'm not going to Old Man Cho. :)

Yeah I have been reading around and mushin looks to be the hot spot for now. Old Man Cho seems to have a lot of RP'ers planning on going there so yeah I too am not really wanting to go there... unless I can be a pirate ninja.

Hmmm, reading that last article you linked I am struck by "iksanun is one of the most balanced servers in terms of factions". If that holds true that makes it an interesting choice. Economy is cross realm so server choice is for guilds and grouping, if that's the case the potential long queue times of the top 1-2 servers may be worth it, unless we get enough peeps to blaze our own trails.

This guild has the best sales pitch video I have ever seen

So ill be trying this out for sure. I'll go to whatever server you guys choose.

For anyone else that may be interested, the game will be free to play at launch. The founders packs you can buy now will go away, they just give quality of life improvements (in-game store currency, character slots, costumes, name reservation), and it also gives you a jumpstart with premium points. As you get more points, getting a paid subscription gives you more and more benefits: http://www.bladeandsoul.com/uk/news/premium-membership/

There will be no content gating for the free to play people (as of now).

Fun Fact - Names are region unique, so if you get a name you will be the only one in your region with it (NA or UK)

I think Mushin, Blue is how I am gonna roll.

Blue is cool.

Yeah, my observations during CBT's was that the red side was all about owPvP and anarchy and isntaFun, and the blue seemed to have more people looking for groups and running content, and that aligns a bit more with what I am looking for. Obviously shit can change at launch, but we will see.
