Well, I used to play on Brandywine before U7, so I can't say recently, but here's what I saw.
Freep raid forms, at least 12, against few oppositon
Flip keeps while farming any creeps who try and attack
Farm grams
Later a raid leader comes on, wipes freeps
Freep raid sits in keep until they get at least 6 more than the creep raid
High points? While freeps are in rez I can do PvE and I only have to encounter several burglars.

Exempting No. 3
Are you sure we are not on the same server?
High points
============================== ===
Fairly active most of the time
Can usually find group, small group or solo activity as desired
Excellent communication on creepside via the teamspeak server and standard ooc chat
Excellent cooperation on creepside both via teamspeak and standard ooc chat
Most of the creeps seem to be fairly friendly...not too much drama
Low points
============================== ===
Not enough lure traps being set by hunters (this is probably something only I care about, though)
Hmm....I think that's all. For the most part, I like it on Elendilmir. There's the usual frustration at times with the game mechanics such as me critting someone for 360 while they autoattack me for 580 or crit me for 4500, but it's not often due to the way the server plays out.

Sounds very much like Riddermark.

Maybe I need to consider trying out Elendilmir....it sounds better than Ridder at any rate.

Really??? Not when I'm on XD. It's either creeps zerging or freeps zerging. That's one of the main reasons I don't usually log on anymore unless there's a freep and creep raid going at it.
EX. Last night, 24+ freeps (don't think they were grouped) camping lug rez against 8ish creeps... This was after they suddenly gained a large amount of numbers, farmed TA, then flipped TA, and farmed OC for a bit.

Yea. I'm not saying it's always perfect. But I've been able to find 2's and 3's running around most of the time.
And of course, Gandoras, Illthallion, and Cmalberg are always willing to kill me 1v1 when I feel like trying that.

LOL that sounds exactly like Riddermark...from what I am hearing, it sounds like all servers are having the same problem/pattern: Freeps that would rather PvE (Flip Keeps all day) or gather a large raid and simply farm all day. I was wondering if any server might have some better PvP than my current one, but they all sound exactly alike.

Well I'll echo what has been shared so far. I will add this...a couple of days ago Freeps had us outnumbered 1.5 to 2 times and the Freep Raid leader had the gall to go into GLFF and ask for more Freeps and called it a "Comms raiding party". Go Figure.

Lol we have a guy on Ridder that does that. Except he doesn't use the poor excuse of a Comms raiding party, he just says "Need More Freeps" or "Need More Creeps" (which translates into: "Need more infamy! Too many creeps are logging due to the Gramsfoot/OC Farming!!).

And just like you said, it's either/or. Around 4 PST the same day it was the exact same situation with the sides reversed. Things have gone to &&&& IMO but that is strictly from me preferring to solo/small group.
Of course, we do still have a decent community on E and a good population. When I was on this evening we had a couple fellowships running around doing different things at different locations. Leaders on both sides have certainly been taking steps to make sure fights are away from the standard TR-Lug rez shuffle and the RvR fights have been fantastic for it.

If I wanted to sound negative I would say "Yes, E is exactly like this!"
It's very similar some days but we do manage to get some good fights going. I can't think of some examples at the moment but I don't get 20k/30k days from nothing
Always fun to run around and catch freeps PvE'ing or trying to gank other creeps, usually in HH or Grothum

Cons:
The warg population itself is usually greater than the entire freep population at any given moment.
Its zerg or be zerged
One side is always either hugging a keep/oc/ec/rez while the other side camps them
Barely any raid vs. raid. Such a thing only happens about once a month.
60% of our freeps have a ranked creep. So they can just hop over to the side that is winning to optimize commendation earnings.
Most people don't respect 1v1s and kill the people involved.
Alot of hate amongst both sides it seems like these days, seems really stressful even though it's game among a kinship/tribe and amongst other creeps and freeps.
Other than that, seems to having good numbers for fights sometimes, sometimes is more about PVEing for flipping keeps.
Sometimes, I feel like I wanna transfer and sometimes I just wanna do hang in there listen to all the ranting in the forums and in OOC. :\

I understand the feeling. I have considered transferring from Riddermark on multiple occasions, but I can never bring myself to do it. Its probably because I've been there so long....

Yeah, I feel the same way, I have spent 3+ years on S'lode, and I have some good friends that I play with on the Creepside, which is one of the reason's I'm still on S'lode. Now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, GW2 might be a higher priority for me lol.
People easymoding on wargs is by far the biggest problem on our server. It creates the impression that creeps are usually outnumbered, when quite often it's just that 50%+ of the creeps are stealthed. I almost feel sorry for visible creeps sometimes (if the freeps push, the wargs stay in stealth and the other creeps get stomped).
There are many people playing minstrels all of a sudden too, but nothing like as many as there are wargs.

Lol. I hope Lotro gets its act together. If they don't I see more and more pvpers heading off to GW2....leaving Moors a ghost area.

Sounds like Riddermark, except it seems there are more wargs on your server. There are indeed to many wargs that ezmode and starhug. I make it a point not to be like the rest. I couldn't care less about my rating or how many stars I have. I always go for the kill, no matter the odds.....sometimes it pays off...other times it gets me one shotted by a raid lol.

I don't know, lol. It seems like constant grind all the time for me, when they switched over to the Commendation/Audacity system. It seems like it's taking a huge toll on me and starting to get burnt out and loosing interest really fast. Gonna be even harder if they raise the Audacity rank up.

Lol I understand that too. The grind for skills/racials/class traits and Audacity is starting to take its toll on me, not to mention I can't PvE much because the Fraid Leader on our server loves PvE and blue maps. He then proceeds to sit on each keep to make sure they don't get flipped back. Blue Map makes the comms grind ever worse than it already is. I just started getting my Audacity last week because untill then I had to choose between skills or Audacity....
If they raise the Aud rank, im going to /tantrum and possibly blow up my laptop.
Yeah, I know whatcha mean lol. I'm close to getting to rank 8 (sigh) and between then, I've been grinding non-stop for Commendations for my last rank of Audicity, (which I still need about roughly 5k more of).
We also people who flip just to do the PvE keeps and sometimes they will fight for the keep, when I'm solo, I don't bother with &&&& like that, waste of time. I roam the map and try to find something else to do, mostly PvEing by myself or sniffing around looking for loaner freeps. But when I raid, I don't gain that much infamy nor comms, and it really is a downer.

Im rank 6 atm. Making good progress to r7 though. I only have 2 Aud, and I got most of the comms from finishing up map deeds I had previously ignored...it won't be as easy to get the next Aud rank.
I agree, it is generally a waste of time trying to fight of PvE raids....you take/defend one keep, they just run off to take another unguarded one or call in for more, overpowering numbers of Freeps.
Lone Freeps are hard to find on my server now-a-days...most of them are either in the Fraid or not in Moors at all because they are disgusted of how things are.
I feel the same way. We got this so called "elitist" kin/tribe on my server (calling names such as baddies and such) along with that as well as spies (but I guess that happens on all servers?). Really discouraging I think.
The release date for GW2 is ever looking soo good right now!
Creepside community - generally friendly, less about epeen, and welcoming towards new people
Patrat - a Laurelin institution
Creepside OOC - always a fun chat going on and less angst than freep OOC
Player Ability - there are actually some pretty decent players on both sides and love them or hate them they do make for fun and challenging fights, especially 1vs1 and smaller groups
Low Points
Freep OOC - mostly dead except for occasional bursts of hysteria and screaming that would put a boyband concert to shame
Zergs - forcing the other side to watch you PVE has been turned into high art on Laurelin
Too Many Wargs - sadly many can't even be accused of being FOTM, they just find it too hard to start out and get comms on other classes
Too Many Mincers - once the Laurelin Ezymode Society had sent out its regular FOTM newsletter the number of Mincers shot straight up and now we're all able to enjoy being farmed by the latest in freep side farming technology
EC-OC Shuffle - for hours upon hours groups of players will stand at one of these locations and farm the opposing outnumbered side. They only stop the farm when it becomes even slightly more difficult e.g. one more person from the opposite side shows up
Very Little Solo Action - why go solo? You will only get jumped by a few of the server's many many fine FOTM wargs
Store Consumables - the latest in Laurelin PvMP fashion is to have as many lines of buffs as possible under your vitals bar
Little Coordination - Despite multiple suggestions and attempts over the years the level of coordination on and between both sides is woefully low
Hissy Fits - if freeps take Lug or creeps take TR there is a good chance they will "kill the action", such as it was, and the other side might throw a wee hissy fit and log out. Apparently seeing "their side's keep" being taken proves too much for some and instead of seeing it as an opportunity to PvMP it's an opportunity to whine

It's really, really weird. I don't know what it is, but the "feeling" of the moors is more than just the grumpy whining I expect from PvP, but true rage. I've been playing out there casually for 5 years now and I've never seen this amount of rage before, on both sides.

What you have seen is the culmination of apathetic and lethargic PvP development.
Crickhollow
the good
+some good people try and fight, making life somewhat interesting
+not that much raiding freep side(lately)
+map is usually fully or mostly red
the bad
- many low ranked creeps, who are unable to fight back
- creeps mostly pve and often run from fights
- star hugging where a melee class will avoid physical contact even at 100% morale to avoid risking death even at cost of no infamy/renown
- often enough creeps who reach higher ranks just stop logging on (this is cycle 4 or so of that)
- no constant/strong leadership on either side (but leading does happen, just the quality may be weird, lol)
- map may seem empty for hours, while pve-ing people hide somewhere and then turn into a zerg, it might just really be...empty.
- most are afraid to push and lose out on renown/infamy
the ugly
~I notice so many things I don't like yet I do enjoy myself on the server often enough, heh. Often just comes the moment when not enough people are on to make the fights decent and nothing really changes, or someone flips and everything changes, hehe.
How are these bad points? i would love this server.
Had a bunch of people on dd transfer to e looking for more rvr and 1v1 circles. They all are back on dd playing alts until they can transfer their guys back here. We have too many wages like other servers but less zergy for sure. Tr stays blue and occasional map flip by freeps. Great players on creep side and a few on freeps. Good community. Main downside is there are times when moors is dead. Need a few freeps who full time moors. I have a r9 mini who I god mode on if creep side gets too much. Creeps don't form raids to Zerg or farm. People for the most part only group when it's needed which keeps things fun
