1. Is it worth to have a subscription? - There are perks to having a sub; double XP potions, loyalty rewards, a standard 30%+ on XP (replaced the offline leveling) etc..... Having said that I'm fine with running F2p. I started with a sub, went free, got Godslayer so went 30 days subbed and now back to free. Honestly with the exception of the 10g bank limit I don't find much difference between the two. Now if I was in a position to sub I would just to support F/C.
2. Are there US and EU servers still going or merged? - Only 2 servers now; Crow - PvE and Fury - PvP
3. How easy is to find groups for low/mid/high dungeons/raids or quests? or they changed quests to be soloable ? - Lot's of low level players running around and I see calls for groups all the time, plus getting into a guild of same level players helps. And no the dungeons haven't been dumbed down to be soloable.
4. Hows servers population , and what you would suggest pvp or pve? - By all indications Fury is pretty dead. Crom on the other hand has a healthy population, not massive mind you, but healthy.
5. Expansions what to buy and what would make a difference in my lvling , end content? - If you plan to play past lvl 80 than getting Rise of the Godslayer (and a sub) is a must; Dungeons, faction armor (most cost over the gold cap hence the sub), more playfield. If you're leveling than Savage Coast (Turan 50 - 55 zone) is good, has 2 dungeons. DragonSpire (which I think includes Iron Statues) has the latest dungeon in it and I see group calls for it alot. The last one Valheim(sp?) isn't considered that good of a buy; not many quests and a small playfield.
