If your going to play L2 low rates are the way to go, high rate servers are full of lil kids that don't wanna invest time into a game and just go around and PK anyone that is 50 lvls lower than them. low rate servers will tend to have a better community but I feel that L2 Pservers have gone down a bit from when i used to play em.

Play Mythos if you can get an invite, otherwise search for a good low rate L2 pserver.
