Question about Server TypesFollow
What is the difference between the classic servers and the co-op servers? My playstyle is generally casual PVE and I am looking into the game and not sure what server to start on.
Below are the explanations from The Herald. Here are my thoughts. Co-op server population is SO LOW that, while fun, it can be a challenge. Classics are fun, but I haven't played a low level up in so long, I can't give an accurate description of what the leveling would be like.
Good luck!

Cooperative servers step away from the traditional ruleset, in that you may play in all three realms on these servers in a cooperative fashion. The server is completely Player vs Environment (a.k.a. "PvE") with the exception of the dueling options.
- May not attack any player character.
- May play cooperatively with characters from any Realm.
- Characters may travel freely to all three realms.
- There is no RvR, only one-on-one dueling.
The current Cooperative server is Gaheris.

Servers with the Classic flag set run under traditional server rules (see above); however, these servers cannot access the Trials of Atlantis expansion (Trials of Atlantis races are still available) and they have specific limitations on buffs. Players cannot be affected by beneficial buff spells unless grouped with the caster and are limited in range.
I would recommend classic.
Classic, almost all PvE is within your realm, so you will not get killed. Only the other two realms can kill you, and that is only in specific areas, not where most PvE is. The simple fact is that if you choose the Co-op server, you will miss out on so much game play. It is like playing 10% of the real game. Sure, you may not like RvR much, but wouldn't you at least want to participate in a siege war against humans at some point?
mordred, i would definitely not recommend, that is teh PvP server and you can get killed by anyone almost anywhere, and you can bet you will.
ToA (regular) servers offer even more game content than classic, but if you are starting new, that is more of a disadvantage to you the first year or so as you will have more than enough to learn on classic. Classic is also the one cluster where you will find other new people to the game. Sure, one might stroll in every week on a regular server, but good luck meeting up with them.
