Even if Epoch were to launch smoothly tomorrow I've completely given up and am only in here to keep up on the drama at this point.

Meanwhile Turtle's Tel'Abim is fucking popping off right now in the lower levels, and fresh in 9 days, and unlike Epoch the turtle has been around for 7 years and will still be here 7 years from now.

Both Epoch and Turtle are run by pronoun trannies so your ultimate decision comes down to whether you value your time or not. Judging by the growing population on a previously dead turtle PvP server caused entirely by Epoch's hype and resulting failure, fresh is going to get slammed hard.
