Servers crowded? If you are starting off with a new character, you can play on the Arsha server (seasonal Arsha too, if your character is seasonal).
You will miss out on the 50% extra item drop chance, but otherwise, things will be the same. Except that it will be less crowded.
You’ll want to switch to other servers once you hit Level 50 though, as anyone can PK (Player Kill) you without any penalties even if you do not flag.
