    Wink a USA/UK experience

    I all and kin. just to tell you all about myself a little, I've been a founder of many many other mmog's and a beta tester/creators adviser for in game content, so i have much experience when it comes to online gaming. first off let me say, I am an American . That right there is odd enough for a UK server :P But i can honestly say, i have had no negative reactions or discrimination from any one to my Americanness which is remarkable compared to most other online games. So i want to say thanks for that so if you want to know why i chose UK when I'm US ask me in game or I'll post later.

    Lastly i want to thank the kins: the Deed Hunters, who started me off in the game, The Undying Flame and The Protectors of Rivendell, whom i am currently with. Thanks for a great experience so far in this game

    We're glad you like this server, but this isn't a UK server, it's an English-speaking European server.

    Anyways, I'm sorry you're missing out on a lot of the veterans who's left this game after it went to hell. Maybe one day they will fix it, who knows.

    Anyways, good to see you're feeling at home here.

    Re: a USA/UK experience

    Aye, we're an English-speaking server. But very, very European, and I love the people I've met on here. And been appropriately shamed & humbled by how well they speak English, wherever else they're from, when so few Brits (and Americans) speak anything else other than English with any fluency.

    Anyway: welcome!

    Welcome to Gilrain, the best server of them all

    Just a question, how comes you've chose a non-american server?

    Re: a USA/UK experience

    Good to have ye, mate. And you're not alone. I'm American, (bounce back and forth between the US and Germany) and there are a couple others I know of in Gilrain. Personally I prefer the feel of a EU server to an American one. Seems a bit more... pleasant. :P

    well, i had tried out a US server and this is the second server I've tried. The US one was filled with lots of people who had been around a while. Long story short, they didn't welcome any one who hadn't been playing for a couple of years, and on top of that TBH Americans aren't the cleanest talking people lots of trash going around. So, now you know my excitement at a friendly server

    Good to have you on Gilrain, and good to hear you are enjoying the experience! I've never tried any other servers and it sounds like I hopefully will never need to!

    Re: a USA/UK experience

    Im also American. Been playing on Gilrain since 2 weeks after the game came out and although I have met my fair share of people Id like to forget, most of them no longer play the game or went to another server.

    Overall my experience here has been more than favorable and my kin loves to make fun of their leader "The Yank"

    Hope to run into you sometime
