Fresh start - which realm? - Phoenix Freeshard

Used to playing sorc/bard back in the day, I know sorc is gonna be a hell of a lot easier to solo level up but what realm is in need of what at the moment?

How fast is it levelling to 50 on this? Is it like back in the day in SI or faster?

Also are there any groups who have just rolled out on fresh servers I can jump on with?

Thanks a lot

all 3 realms are pretty even in terms of player count.
so pick a class you know you stay with it for a while and start exping.

if you are really really really slow, you need up to 48h till lvl 50.
in 99,9% of the cases you are faster then that. Also always depens on your class.
A Merc will be harder to EXP then an Cleric.
"fresh servers" ? there is just one Phoenix Server and this one is 2 1/2 months old.

Albion Sorc is a good option and you will be in high demand for RVR groups.

Generally: During EU prime time mid has highest pop, then alb with ~50 less than mid, then hib with ~100 less than mid

Speaking from hib side, there are less hibs in RvR too since it seems most are focused on PvE. Our most played class (animist) is one that is shunned from everything except PvE leveling and RoG farming groups so a large portion of our 50's aren't in RvR compared to the other realms.

Hib and alb also suffer from PuG class eliteism of 'if you aren't this class and spec enjoy soloing' so find a guild/group if you want to play 'non-meta'. Mid less so since they have fewer classes (but sometimes exists).

Personally I think on Phoenix Mid > Hib > Alb

Midgard is easiest realm to find/ to build a group as for PvE, so for RvR too.
Both other realm seams to forget, that other leveling then a bomb, a cabba-pet-pull or a 3 animists-group are existing.
