I am having a blast on TalonRO, despite of some of its flaws. The server is stable, the community is not unfriendly. My own experience with people of the server are positive, and I'd been helped out when I was a newbie on the server, however I find the gap between old and new players to be huge in terms of equipment and thus power. Donating to the server speeds up the process of gearing up by a lot, however premium features are also available to the players who've never paid a single dollar.
