Celtic Heroes

Hi. I am new to the game. I've only ever played one other MMO, but lots of RPGs. The other MMO did not have "worlds". Can someone explain to me what is the benefit of having worlds, which one should I make my character on, and what effect will that have on my character? I made and deleted three different characters, and didn't get very far with any of them. It seems that, whatever world I end up playing on, I will be on that world for the life of the character, so I don't want to grind up a lot of XP until I am ready to go, and that means knowing what world is the right one.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the developers have a feature in the works (for a future update) that will allow players to log in as their character on ANY world. If this is the case, then I won't matter which world you create your char on since you can move about them freely... Personally I am on Epona server, which seemed very quiet when I started playing 2-3 weeks ago. Now it seems like the population has grown substantially, with lots of new players. If you still want to learn move about the different world/servers, then check out the topics under "Worlds" in these forums and if you wish post something.

Don't quote me on this either lol.
But, I think if the introduce PvP, some worlds will be PvP and others will not.

What up snake I think I know from another mmorpg it starts with pocket if you on add me

i hope you're right yesteryear. I wonder how they would determine which ones would go PvP? Popular vote? I have visions of mass exoduses/migrations of players...

I am not sure how they will determine which is which.
I would imagine that, the larger servers would become PvP and the smaller ones non PvP.

Well i certainly hope they dont do do that

some classes may benefit greatly from and perform well in a PvP environment
Druids are not one of them

If they made the largest servers PvP then they would be inflicting it on the largest numbers of people who didnt want it, statistically speaking anyway
in my oppinion the only fair way to do it would be to open new serves specifically for pvp
allow the mass migration of keen to kill folk
then merge the lower populated servers together to reduce back down to the same number of servers they have now

not relevant to the original question, i know, sorry

They are already making a way for people to change servers.
So, the people that do not wish to partake in PvP can, jump to a new server.

All interesting posts, but I still don't get the concept of worlds. Are they servers? If so, why not have us all on the same one? Because it would be cluttered?

Server load could be a problem if we all played on one. Lag could ensue. Once server for everyone would also mean one map for everyone, which would get pretty tight with players. This would in turn make it hard to level up and collect gold and loot. The map would have to grow exponentially in size, or they would have to find a way to mirror dungeons so that multiple iterations could run on the same server at the same time in order to accommodate the larger volume of players, and neither of these things can happen overnight.
