Deciding between agnarr and phinnh

I box but I still like to play with other players. I like getting my veteran rewards soon. But is there a major reason to go with one server or the other?

Agnarr is a PoP-Locked Progression. So you will never have vet aa's if that matters to you. Phinny will continue releasing expansions until it catches up with live. Both allow True-Box. I guess it depends how far you want to play into content. The choice would be somewhat obvious if you know this.

Agnarr has plenty of groups. Curious what phinny is like

if you are thinking phinny, tomorrow is the day to start as people will want to start leveling berserkers and there will be some lower levels around moreso than the last month or two.

top end there's tons of people,

There will be lots of groups tomorrow.

It really comes down to which content you want to play. Both servers are going to have fine population and lots of guild opportunities. On Phinny, the emphasis will be on Gates content and onward, level 65+, and 1-64 are just going to be a stepping stone to get to that point. If you want to really focus on the level 1-65 pre-gates content, and never want to move past that, Agnarr's the server for you.

This is really the simplest decision ever.

Do you want to experience content past PoP?
Yes > Phinny
No > Agnarr

They are otherwise more or less the same server.

unless things have changed phinny exp. is much slower

Phinny should be excellent xp starting tomo!

Phinny XP = Agnarr XP when Gates of Discord opens tomorrow.

Eventually Phinny XP will pass Agnarr XP as we progress and Agnarr stays in place.

We don't know that. If we take what Ngreth posted literally, it will either be = or Phinny will be greater.

That's good to hear. I'll take equal. But if it's greater that's even better.

Nowhere in this thread:

Does Ngreth ever say anything about what boost Phinny is getting today. In fact in direct response to the question will Phinny be greater or equal exp to Agnarr after GoD he says this: "We are not sharing the values at this time."

I would be astonished if Phinny is anywhere near Agnarr from the boost today. My guess would be around the same boost they did last time they boosted exp: 20-25%.

Look again:

If "this will change" when Phinny hits GoD, it means that Phinny must move up the list somehow. The only possible changes are either Live>RF=AG=PH, or Live>PH>RF=AG. If Phinny stays behind RF and AG, then there is no change, and Ngreth was wrong (which I think is a possibility and he just mistyped.)

The key is "One" of the servers....

If RF hits GoD it could be.... Live>RF>AG>PH

That scenario would also make his statement true...

No. Once Phinny hits GoD, one of the servers has gotten to GoD. He said it is only true until one of the servers in the list reaches GoD. So if his statement is correct, the change must happen at that point.

Why must everything be a conspiracy theory .. game dev's are not politicians trying to fool us with word games.

EXP on Phiiny is getting a boost, how big? we will find out later today .. that is all.
