As far as I can tell, the ones that I've spoken to over the last month are enjoying the hell out of Teon. I've been playing on both, and I think Teon is the most fun I've had in game in a long time--or ever.
They've been posting 150 v 150 pvp vids, and apparently there are a lot of great players and toons there. The population is high, so the general energy and activity level is much higher than on Gustin...
The politics aren't terribly ineresting though. They said there are two huge sides (ITT and X) so it's a little like the traditional two sided Gustin politics. Synergy is in ITT. X is a formidable competitor though, so they've said it's the best pvp they've seen. Most of the folks in Synergy seem to like the folks in ITT, and vice-versa, so I think the ITT folks made the transition comfortable.
Right now, they are still recognized somewhat as Gustin inside ITT, but increasingly are part of the fabric of their clan.
I don't know if the experience would have been better if they went as individuals as opposed to en masse, but they seem comfortable.
Also, the Euro hours seem better for the North American players, in that the siege times are mid day on weekends and when it's evening the US, the pvp is largely over and you can XP somewhat...so for some folks, the hours are actually better than on the NA servers.
One thing is clear--top pvp players from Gustin do just fine in pvp on Teon. Seems like top players are similar quality between servers.
I can say that the transfers to Bartz dramatically tipped the server balance.
Not sure if there was such a dramatic effect on Teon or Franz. From what I've heard it wasnt on Teon other then to increase ITT's lead, but could be wrong. (Charm can chime in hehe)
kain/lionna/hindemith players joined x.
sinergy joined ITT.
both sides r huge zergs and pvp happen everywhere and anytime.
if they r NA they lose best pvp on teon.
8 hours diference beetwen moscow and est hour.by the time they log majority of ppl going sleep.
teon have been most fun i ever had in L2.
great players,great enemys,easy to make top partys and u always face top partys also.that it was make pvp exciting not steam roll bad partys
From what I've seen, those 2 sides now seem more equal than in a long, long time. Could be wrong though, I don't really pay that much attention to them :) Those mass pvp videos are pretty nice though.
yea and Teon is with the only server like Franz with aim/wall
**** and so on...oO
that mod is the [censored]...auto-assist, auto-targetting - ppl shot out of blackscreens lol - 5k range - all pots usage automated
The best is, these guys think they are great pvpers...
I think the only thing they still need to do is to click & run.
You really see the diffrence if you pvp the sinergy guys or if
you meet original ITT players...
I don't get it how it's exiting to play a game with such a mod
and it's exclusive just for a few clans...
Sorry? We (meaning Union(s), Legacy and nOneFactOrs alliances - the "nonefactors" and "neutrals" of the server) held Dion against X on Sunday just fine without such cheating tools. Teon is two-sided, but neither is the cheating such rampant like you'd like people to believe, nor are the two big sides completely dominating everyone else.

I didn't know that X had an influx at the same time--all I know is that people keep talking about how ITT was ahead already and Synergy just added to the lead...and I haven't seen that so much.
There are lots of good players on both ITT and X retiring or becoming less active, and frankly I think both look extremely strong and balanced. ITT has won more of the big PVPs lately, but most of them were exciting. X could easily win many of them--and the party pvp and stuff going on all over the server seems to go back and forth on winner.
The short form is:
I don't know of anyone who transferred to Teon before the lock who regrets doing it.
Ya, well that kind of gets overlooked. When ITT/X have these 300 toon PvPs there are 350 ITT/X on the server total. There are 4000-5500 peeps regularly on Teon, so it's silly to pretend that everything in Teon is about ITT/X. Frintezza, Baium and Aden usually are dominated by them, but most of the server is not Frintezza, Baium and Aden.
Not really, LOL. Anyways, from what I understand is their doing just fine, loving their new home, and I'm happy to see a lot come back to the game as a result.
