What eq4me said is very true.
Try out every server and then make a final decision, Many servers now-a-days are very different from each other.
Many have gotton a major overhaul.
If you are looking for Semi-Legit Scars of Nalgora is quite fun.
A brief run-down on what it's like:
100% custom quests,
100% custom server,
100% custom items,
100% custom NPC's.
It's NOTHING like live.
You do a quick quest to obtain level 25
You can level to 70 in a day if you try hard, Usually people level to 70 in about 3 days.
Max level right now is level 72, Soon to be level 73.
Custom Epic 1.0's and 2.0's.
Adventure zones that are higher exp. gains for certain levels which include custom augs.
Friendly Player-Base, In-depth quests. "Evolving" Items.

The server is locked atm due to problems with memory, But it's usually up 24/7 unless there needs to be a reboot to fix something.
Cheers.
