Currently new players are not given any idea of what to expect when they decide to leave Golden Valley apart from "Epic, Freedom or PvP". Perhaps there could be a brief description of each servers terrain, player base, average online population and how crowded they are.
For example you might say that Xanadu is, "Vast and wild open spaces to be settled. The highest player population but also 10 (or however many) times larger than any other server. You will need to hone your fighting and survival skills before venturing away from the crowded starter towns and into the death cliffs and bottomless clay pits."
I don't have much experience with any other server except Exo but I would have liked to know when I started that Exo was, at the time, nearly 100% deeded or fenced in. My recent experience with Release and Pristine is that a good chunk of the land is owned and developed by veteran players.
Just something to think about when I have seen many new players posting in GL that they need a ride from one sever to another or that they are disappointed to find out that a server is low population.
