Guild Wars 2

Hey, I’m an Australian player and really like to roam in wvw. I’m currently on NA HoD, and was wondering if it makes much difference (ping wise) between a NA and EU server, as I’d like to move to one with a bit larger population so I can still find people to fight. And also, any recommendations for a good server for me to join?
Thanks.

For PvE there’s Black Gate in NA and Desolation in EU as the most organized servers.

No idea about WvW, sorry

Thanks anyway!

Ping the NA and EU servers from your cmd and you will see which one is better for you.

I’m from New Zealand and I’m playing on NA no problems here.

I’d really like to see an Australian server made. Even if it’s in the same category of servers as EU. Just so the people around the GMT+8-12 hours can actually have people online during their prime times.

If you play from 4-8 or 9pm in the GMT +10 hours timezone (Australian east coast) there’s not really very many people on, people start coming on at 8 or 9 (For European servers anyway)

I’m on Tarnished Coast. If you’re a PvE’er there’s almost always people around at all hours of the day and night. I know this because I have an erratic work schedule and I play all hours of the day and night.

You can certainly find plenty of people to fight in WvW on Tarnished Coast at the moment and they supply lots of lovely bags to loot. I assume there is also some PvE as well, but remember you can guest to any server for PvE so that is less important when deciding on a home server.

The ping to NA should usually be better than Europe as it’s closer.

Tarnished Coast, Blackgate and Jade Quarry are full at the moment and you won’t be able to move to those servers unless you luck out and a spot opens up, although of course you can guest there. Which means you can’t WvW from them, only PvE. So any suggestions that name those servers, you need to keep that in mind.
