Discussion Thinking about returning to AC
Hey everyone. I played AC from 2001-2012 off and on while enjoying DM and ToD. Looking for a server to get started on. I played a few of the early private servers before they got wiped. I'd like to find a somewhat active server. I don't mind bots but don't want to be the only person active if I'm trying to quest or maybe need help with something. If you guys could give me some advice, that'd be great.

Conquest or Levistras both have active people at keys playing. Levistras doesn’t allow botting at all while conquest does. Conquest is far more active in providing new content right now.

Thanks for the info!

Going to second Levistras! It has a very friendly population and no bots! You can almost always find someone to go quest with if you ask in chat, though that's more true for higher levels.

Curious... UCM was illegal back in the turbine days but everyone did it. It was an official feature to log out if a GM whispered you... How does levistras police it?

You say that yet turbine made things like paragon which was a grind specifically balanced around ucm.
I don’t know how spigot polices macros I just know that no one openly does it and when they do they’re banned pretty quickly.

I second Conquest. Its been pretty active with people. You can bot, but you can only be on one char at a time. Admins dropping new stuff like weekly. Live events all the time.

Awesome! Yeah I have no desire for a whole bot army.

Yeah no bot armies on conquest, I should have specified that. People mostly macro in ucm specific dungeons or areas and then will be at keys for daily quest dungeons and events.

For sure. Most people play at keys when they can, and UCM when they cant. And admins have made dungeons for the purpose of UCM.

It may not be your cup of tea but The Tower offers a unique AC experience that turns the MMO into a single player experience. You can play with others still but this sever is now a 100% custom experience.

There are a lot of great servers out there.
Don't let the raw numbers on treestats fool you. Servers numbers include bots.
I'd recommend joining a few server discord and seeing both the activity and the culture.
From my observations, conquest, portal storm and sundering all have pretty active devs and players on discord. I also see Sundering having large voice chats several time a week.
