If we go PvP, I'm leaning towards the RP-PvP server as well. IMO, you'll get less jaggoff's and still be able to get your PvP on.
Most people have to keep in mind that AoC is very different from every other MMO out there in that you really don't need to be in the general population until level 20. So you can know your character and your abilities without having to worry about some high level ass ganking you. As well as you'll have some of your own high level asses that can come to your aid later on.
Priority though is to choose a rule set and a server name now that they are released. We'll have both picked before launch and posted for your enjoyment.
I know that TG is choosing a server as well, so we'll do everything we can to make sure that we get it all sorted out in a timely fashion.
