so how active a gaming community is on this server?

seems pretty healthy to me.... I never have any trouble getting groups and i play a warlock

Why not create a new char on RE and play it awhile to get a feel for that, before putting up the bux to have your existing char(s) transferred? 

quick addendom, while checking out the server on a recently rolled alt (Malther, Dark Elf Shadowknight), i did a quick check on guilds and happily noticed one roleplaying guild recruiting, claiming to be the only one in the server.

but apart from that one specific guild, is there much, if any, roleplaying going on?

i don't rp that much, but i do enjoy it as a break from constant levelling, alting and mats farming.

*chuckles*

I have found Runnyeye seems very good for roleplaying. At least they are when I pop in, But I think that is the same for all servers.

You can always check for guide events in this forum for breaks in leveling *smiles at her shameless plug*

Ok, the whole transferring process has hit way too many snags on the way, it's like they don't want my money or something :p

I've rolled a new toon on the server and will be playing on that and seeing if i can be bothered to level up again (and farm the achievement levels, not like the first time in commonlands after darklightwood was not painfull enough).
