Newbie Multiplayer Questions

Here are my newbie questions:

1) Are all of the "24/7 ______ based" servers actually up almost all the time? I mean, if I find a server like this that I like, will I be able to count on it not being some guy just hosting on a random day?

2) Are the persistent world 24/7 servers fun to play in? I play a game called Neverwinter Nights, an RPG game, and there are "regulars" in each persistent world server. Are there "regulars" in a lot of servers?

3) Do you fight other players a lot? What makes multiplayer different than single player? I mean, what ways to you interact with real people that you can't do in SP?

4) Do you actually get the chance to become high lvl in online servers?

5) Could you recommend some good 24/7 persistent world servers with good "regulars" who play there?

Thanks.

24/7 really means 24/7. All day, all night, 24/7


2) Are the persistent world 24/7 servers fun to play in? I play a game called Neverwinter Nights, an RPG game, and there are "regulars" in each persistent world server. Are there "regulars" in a lot of servers?


Woohoo!! Another RPG fan! (I'm a BG1/Bg2 fan )
Yes, most servers have a regular group of people that always log on.


3) Do you fight other players a lot? What makes multiplayer different than single player? I mean, what ways to you interact with real people that you can't do in SP?


Do we fight eachother? Yes, not always but yes, people duel against eachother for fun or cash. How we interact? Chat system. Either system based chat or private chat or GROUP chat.
System chat is more with random topics
private chat is used for asking someone for advise, or to talk to someone in a different system.
Group chat is a char that's used to have a conversation with the people you are playing. For instance, I invite 2 people to do a few missions together. Then we use the group chat for discussing tactics and random chat with eachother.



4) Do you actually get the chance to become high lvl in online servers?



Yes, some peopel are lvl80 and up. My char is lvl 63 now.


5) Could you recommend some good 24/7 persistent world servers with good "regulars" who play there?


Calgary 24/7 = Lots of LAG, cheaters, modders. I am going to stop playing there. I will miss the peopel I regularly played with tho.

The Elite #1 and #2 Server = Server owned by the The Elite clan. No cheating/modding allowed. That's where I'm going to be for now.

Elite = Server owned by Stinger (He is a moderator here) I haven't played there yet so I can't say anything usefull about it


Hope this helps.
