Begeren Colony seems to be the server to be, thus far, by all accounts. The other extant West Coast RP server is Vrook Lamar, which seems slightly lower on load. I and a few others from here are checking that one out as well as an alternative server. As Ankh notes, right now Begeren Colony is hitting Very Heavy in server status, which is potentially worrysome.
Especially in light of the two hour queues for some servers.
Since Republic and Empire characters are separated anyway, by faction, and cannot trade with each other...I and some others are currently rolling Imps on Begeren and Republics on Vrook Lamar, splitting our eggs across two baskets. This also gives us more slots for alts.
This is just a tentative scheme, though. One way or another, I'll be Sith'ing my way across Begeren when the servers come back up from maint, then try a Consular or Smuggler on Vrook.
I realise Bioware's intent is for people to spread out on different servers, but to some degree the early access system works against this because people want to join the servers their friends are already on. So right now we're hedging bets.
