Guild Wars 2

I just got the game today, and was expecting to play with my friends on Stormbluff Isle.

Now when I go to set a server it’s full, and everything I’ve read says the server pop isn’t current player but registered account based.

Does this mean I wont be able to play with them (outside instanced PvE) unless I delay starting until someone transfers or deletes an account from that server?

Basically, but you can transfer at any time a server’s open so there’s not much reason to delay starting. It’s irritating – I’ve been trying to get into Tarnished Coast for the past week.

Players can do cross-server dungeons, but most everything else is server-based.

I’d see if your friends are willing to transfer to a non-full server you can join. Guilds are cross-server, so if you’re all in a guild you can chat together regardless of server.
