I used to play many years ago on a server from another publisher. Have been considering try the different private servers, hoping people can give some answers to the following questions:
1) How many active players are there ? (exact number probably only known by admins)
2) How many guilds or groups run end game content on a regular basis? ex. 5 guilds + public groups, or only 1 guild?
3) Are siege wars active? How competitive is siege war? (dominated by 1 or two guilds, or many guilds evenly matched type of thing...)
4) Are the custom instances the only content people do? Or are the base game content still used for something?
