Greetings
Hello! Welcome!
Australians play on both regions EU and NA. It is hard to know which works best for you. Hopefully someone else has more information on that. (Personally I am partial to both my servers Piken Square and Tarnished Coast, the unofficial RP servers.)
This thread can help a lot: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/OMG-If-you-only-knew-this-tips-for-new-players
I will also be playing in less than an hour and would love to answer any little questions that occur to you.
Thanks very much Garamola!
Looking at other threads here, TC sounds like a great server (so long as I can be sure there are people around at my time!) I’ll check out the link you posted there.
It’s 2am here so gonna hit the sack soon, but will most likely be exploring around tomorrow at some point
Welcome to GW2!
Go to the Players Helping Players forum and check the last three sticky threads. Full of advice and links to other resources.
There is one other thread for new players that haven’t reached sticky status yet.
