I hear the bot problem there is sooo bad that it's almost 10 botz to every one legit player. Oh man, you probably got room enough to kill 1 mob and wait for it to respawn and hope to god a bot doesn't come and kill it first.
Actually, Franz is no worse than any other server. The problem is mob spawn. On Hindemith, go to the newbie places and hunt some mobs; there aren't many around. The bots just make it worse. Franz will be defined by those not afk. Don't even tell me Hindemith doesn't have farmers...
I will admit, it wasn't until level 21 that I found a spot with quest mobs that was farmer-free. I am saying right now, all the farmers are in one small area. Once they spread out into catacombs and wherever else, they will be harder to count. Last time I logged in, the server traffic was still light. Right now they are all above ground hunting the very few mobs available, making themselves very visible to players.
One cool thing is that they don't go back to town for newbie buffs, so live players have ww2 and they don't; you will beat them to the mob. Also remember that if you select and move to attack a target before they are in range, they will stop and find another target.
I took me over an hour each to level 2 toons (separately) to level 6. I refuse to KS and there were NO mobs unless one spawned right next to you. Then, several other weird-named toons would run over and start beating on it as well. It was ****-near impossible to get the freakin' blue gem from the gremlins because there were too many bots killing them.

lol.. yeah.. I made a toon to check out the server and people kept k'sing me. Never did get the gem. Instead I just took a walk to see all the excitment in DEV. People setting up shops by the noobie helper, selling wooden helms, etc.
