Hey Shi,
I just got your PMs but will reply here so everyone can see.
Quick rundown:
* Sax, Brigh and myself are on the Ywain server currently playing Hib. We have Mid toons on the same server as well (this is possible now) but Hib is where we've decided to focus our efforts. We're in Na Fianna Dragun guild which has some folks from old Hib Pryd, plus some new faces.
* It doesn't matter which of the Ywains you roll on, eg ywain1, Ywain2 etc, they are all the same server for PVE and RvR, the only thing it matters for is housing zones (there wasn't enough housing to go round so they sharded it). Since I'm the only one with a house currently and since I can give you access to it, you might be best off creating your toons on Ywain2 to make it easier getting to my house.
* Character names of mains are:
Me: Cernos (Hero), Cerngaric (Animist), Cernow (Eldritch).
Sax: Djem (Druid), Safix (Ranger), Saxon (Bard, lowbie).
Brigh: Brighy (Vampiir), Brighie (Eldritch).
* If you're wanting to make a support toon, I would recommend Bard. Currently we're short of toons with speed, so a Bard would be a big help. Sax was levelling one up but I think its a side project. I have a 39 bard but mostly as a taxi for my mains, I'm more of a dps or tank player than support. So go with Bard.
* Crafting: don't worry about it to start with. I can help you out with some cash to get started. I have a high level spellcrafter and so can make templates, including for endgame.
