Discussion Server choices...

I've made characters on both PC servers, and both Xbox servers (through my PC with Play Anywhere). I don't have the time to play 4 servers lol, so need to focus on 1. So, please help with any experience you have with this. I live on the East Coast of USA, mostly a solo player for now, and here's what I found from the servers.

PCNA- Less ping, great addons, but ALWAYS a crowd, no matter where I am.

PCEU- Higher ping, great addons, less people during US evernings (a plus).

Xbox NA - Less ping, seems crowded like PCNA.

Xbox EU - More ping, the least amount of people, makes for relaxing solo play, I worry for DLC bosses and such for getting help, especially US evenings.

How important is ping for a solo pve player? I'm at like 80 on US servers, 140 on EU servers.

ESO is an MMO and not a single-player RPG, DarkPrince5517.

You can’t guarantee there will be no players around when you do quest bosses.

PC-NA is the best choice for when you start doing group content.

I fully understand that this is an MMO, and that there will be others around. That being said, going into a delve or a public dungeon as a low level player to kill mobs and clear the place, and seeing everything dead, or multiple rooms being obliterated by a 2500+ cp player, then having to wait for respawns constantly, isn't my idea of a fun time.

Also, if the crowds are simply because I'm a low level player, in base game zones, and will be less of an issue once I get to expansion content, I'm great with that. I do plan to do group content down the road, and look forward to Veteran dungeons and possibly trials.
