1) Just check the servers at primetime and roll with one that seems even.  It isn't as bad as everyone says unless you roll on a low/high or something server.  Both my servers are very even.  (Phoenix throne, and Dark Crag)

2) Scenarios are a lot of fun, and you can easily level up on RvR only.  I would say do both like do PvE quests while you wait on scenarios unless you get some money and can fly between the three nations warcamps to queue up for all 3 scenarios.

3) Well healers are always needed.  The dwarf and elf tanks are needed as well.  Really every class is useful.

Enjoy the game man!

I'd wait a month to see how it pans out before buying. But if looks like you already made up your mind.

1) Changes from server to server

2)You can lvl up on rvr only, but it's best to lvl in both ways to experience the game at its fullest (and lvl faster!).

3) No idea.

WAR
Coh/v
SWG
Eve
Project entropia

As a order player  i say we win about as mutch as we loose... Some times we steamroll and at times we get jackhammerd.

 

But yes... Empire have no tank and that can be a black doing their scenarios at times, but all in all not a killing blow. Dwarves lack melee DPS but this seems less damaging overall. Elfs got a full set.

 

 

This have been a good conversation

1. Being on underpopulated side means that you'll probably get zerged in open RvR UNLESS you're in a good guild or you yourself pull your mates to do hit and runs. On the other hand, you'll never wait long for scenarios or have no destros around to kill... Essentially you'll get more renown and thus be more powerful/advance faster than poor old desperate destros in their looong scenario queues and empty RvR zones.

2. It is a bit of both. Currently the best way is to mix scenarios with PQs while you wait. You can definitely level up only through RvR. In fact it is the fastest way to get xp.

3. Tanks. Make a tank and move to empire zone at T1. Everybody will love you for contribution in PQ boss fights and scenarios. Later on players spread around a bit but at T1 tanks are really needed in empire and later on pretty much everywhere but to a lesser degree.

1) On most servers the population is fairly well balanced. Overall though Destruction does indeed outnumber Order, and on some servers the desparity is pretty bad and Order is outnumbered by quite a bit. On my server, Pheonix Throne where I play Order, Destruction doesn't outnumber us by much, mainly b/c both factions are full, so if you like RP servers, and are looking for one where the factions are balanced, try Pheonix Throne.

2) Scenarios are awesome, they are well varied w/ there already being more game-types then WoW has after four years, and they are all fun to play. Yes, you can level up soley through open-world RvR and scenarios, but I strongly suggest you do at least some PvE as the Renown gear (Renown=RvR-xp, thusly Renown gear is gear earned through RvR rank which is gear you can buy at certain lvls and ranks) is good, but you can find better through drops, quests and PQs.

3) Order definitely needs tanks more then anything by far, but naturally, healers are always in demand as well, but if you really want to play the class everyone is looking for, roll up a Blademaster or Ironbreaker.

1.  Order is outnumbered but you can find a server where things are even.  I play on Ironfist as destro and I think it is pretty even. 

2.  Scenarios are a ton of fun and yes you can level up using them.  I usually split my levelling time about 70% rvr and the other 30% doing misc. pve things.  If I get bored with 1 I do the other. lol

3.  I'm not 100% sure on this one. =/

Tanks and white lions are probably the most needed classes. We have tons of healers and casters and witch hunters but the sturdier classes can be lacking at times.
