hi i played daoc back from 2000-2008 and a buddy of mine told me theres some free shards now. we tried Uthgard and its so dead its sad. we dont care about the slow leveling and we preferred the old version.
someone told us about Phoenix and im trying to get some answeres to know if i want to switch or not.

how many people play roughly ?

what realm rules RVR?

is it easy to find groups for leveling up?

are their artifacts, [not a deal breaker]

We are in the 2nd half of beta right now. instant level 50 is in a few weeks.

You will start from level 1 at launch. Leveling 1-50 takes a week or two. Lots of groups to xp farm with just not right now since it is beta.

No artifacts or master levels etc..

Just wait until live launch. Server sucks at the moment.

Population is low until i50. Get in and play around a little. Once i50 hit it should be a healthy population in rvr.

Server is in beta test mode, why would you say it sucks? Go test things dammit!

Levelling 1 to 50 takes a week or two if you have a lot of time to play during that week or two. A more applicable answer might be how many hours it takes to hit 50. I'm guessing 30 hours total. Maybe 40. Right now, you can make a character and be level 40 instantly (i40) and I have leveled three characters from 40 to 50 100% solo and it takes 7-10 hours play time.
Phoenix has altered the XP algorithm to encourage grouping and they have also introduced XP drops that really speeds things along. Perhaps the best change is the introduction of random drops (ROG) that will keep your character in yellow (or better) gear throughout the levelling process without requiring player crafter gear.
Once you hit 50, the Phoenix team is experimenting with different ideas to promote RvR participation. It seemed to work really well but the population has dwindled as every one is waiting for instant level 50 (i50) on October 20.
