possible newbie questions and alot of them =PFollow

hi i have a bunch of q's and comparisons that id like have answered, if possible. to start off il say ive played EQOA(ps2) for around 3-4 months. shifted to FFXI(ps2thenx360) and quit a few months ago making it round 2+ yrs of gameplay. i just got a new comp for my room and wanna play a new fun game. im looking for somthing that has more group play, solo aint always fun but there should always be that option.FFXI was a bit too reliant on group play. next i love a good verity of classes, and of course a friendly community (unlike mabey wow's 80% d-bag community) i love lots of endgame content. FFXI probly put way more focus on that and the whole NM-HNM-GOD thing was tons of fun. well heres my main Q's 1)can i even run this decently?[2.6AMD pross/2g ram/128deticated-623 shared nvivda geforce 6150 i belive] 2)is the community still well alive? and what is the best normal(rp i think) server w/ alot of newbies. 3) i played redmage and bard in my other 2 games so i was thinking between trubdor/dirge/warlock. any seggestions and whats more wanted in groups? 4)whats engame like? i wanna have a reason to stay after i max. 5)anyone have a decent guild i can join right off, i like to yack about random stuff like tv/games/life in general.

finnaly how would u compare this to FFXI (pros and cons) and im still deciding between this andvanguard saga of heroes. based on what ive listed what do u think is better/whats the major diffrences?. thanks for all your help, looking forward to possibly hangin w/ some of yah soon. peace

it seems like id barely be able to run vanguard. i was leaning twords that a tad more for the fact its group grinding heaveyer and the fact that its not 3 yrs in already. but i think for the fact that i can run this pefectly "as of trial standrds" il probly start this. gunna buy the 10$ basic box and start get going, then get the expansion box in november w/ all the expansions built in. u think that seems like a plan? lol

Well one of the highest population RP servers is Antonia Bayle, Thats the server I play on, I have a guild open to anyone, its a lvl 30 guild called Knights, but it always seems as if i'm alone haha
I could use some company in it..
Anyways, that should answer your server/guild questions..

Your comp seems good enough to run the game though I do suggest getting a video card update, I just recently bought the 7600 GS, and I can play the game very high with little or no lag =)


As for the classes go and such, pick anything you enjoy to play, all classes are accepted to a group, so you should play something you like other than something YOU HAVE TO play..
So with all that said, if you decide to go to Antonia Bayle server, send me a tell

Just gonna throw my 2 cents in as well on the server side of things... Antonia Bayle is great. Most of my toons are on Butcherblock, but I have 2 RP toons on AB (1 in Qeynos, 1 in Neriak) and I have great times on either one. I'm seriously contemplating shelling out the $$ to move my main over from BB...

If you're looking for RP and want a little added excitement, Venekor is RP/PvP. Takes the game out of "Easy Mode" and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The way MMOs were originally designed to be played. ^^
