if he cares about winning in pvp its doomed not because of the server but because of this game. There are servers in the s1570- range that have plants running around with sb ten tails madara, tsunade reserve seal and kakuzu akatsuki inception.

PVP in this game is off limits to real players, unless you are a mod, plant, or someone rich and dumb enough to spend thousands upon thousands of dollars here you will lose consistently, and you shouldnt even try.

My personal advice is not to return, the game is in more of a shambles than ever before, the events are still rigged, pvp "matching" is rigged, flash is dead, the new mini client manages to be worse than the old one in every respective measure. and as mentioned even servers less than 3 full months old hve people who have either been given free stuff or have spent over £15k. It is fairly common that once whales are big enough *s that they ruin a server and it dies, that server gets merged, and since whales are too pssy for competition, instead of staying in the newly merged server with other spenders they jump to a new server, drop a few thousand dollars there and act like they are "good" players by preying on newcomers until inevitably the whales also ruin that server, and the cycle repeats.

OP mentioned pvp, but the type of player he is is irrelevant really, if he likes collecting, this game will only be good for him if he is a millionaire. if he likes competing, this game will only be good for him if he is in oasis pocket. If he likes creating new teams, this game will never be good, because the one and only outlet in this game that does not penalize you for trying new teams is arena, but since the matching there is the dumbest excuse for a "point based" system that humans have ever devised and it thinks that madara ten tails sb is evenly "matched" against a f2p choji gnw team it isnt possible to have good experimental matches anywhere in this godforsaken mess
