Hey there BarfBarf. I want you to know straight up, this game has some bugs, but the developers are constantly working on them and getting feedback from the players, which is great stuff.
The levelling experience can be quite daunting, but once you're high enough to enter the warzone and start fighting other players, it's one of the most addictive MMO's you will play. The combat mechanics are second to none, in my honest opinion.
Population on the International server Haven (Mostly English), is FAR FAR less than RA (Mostly Spanish, though there are some English speaking clans). So if you care less about chatting and more about action, you might want to play on RA. You can play any server at any time, but will need to grind separate characters.
PvPing is possible.
1. You can purchase dual banners and fight a realm mate anywhere you want
2. You can take a friend to the arena (for free) and fight them there. Though you are limited to fighting someone around your own level.
3. You can make friends with someone in a different realm (by social networks or whatever), and agree to meet somewhere to fight.
4. Occasionally the players themselves hold little tournaments where every one gets together for a bit of PvPs and fun.
More on the population, European mornings the server can be quite dead, for my realm anyway (ignis). This is on Haven. I've played on RA, and it seemed really active most times of the day. It was a lot of fun, but I missed my friends and gear on Haven, so I went back.
As I said, the levelling experience will be hard. I won't lie. The quests are quite mundane and boring. You can purchase booster scrolls to gain more experience per mob/player-kill which will greatly reduce your grinding time, but it's still hard. Max level is 60 at the moment. Once you reach 50-55, things start to get more interesting and you'll find better gear to help you out.
There's many helpful clans in each realm which will help you find stuff also.
Now, I'd say play it for a couple of weeks and see how you feel afterwards, but that wouldn't be fair on the game really, because the first couple of weeks will suck so bad. It won't get interesting until you can carefully go into the warzone (The place where you can attack other players and capture forts). There's A LOT of videos on YouTube with Regnum gameplay. Check it out and you'll see how fun it can be if you stick with the grind until later levels.
Best,
