Guild Wars 2

I convinced two friends of mine to buy Guild Wars 2 today. They both go out and pick up a copy, only to return home and find that I guess my server is one of the half of the servers that have been deemed full. I’m not familiar with how much this tends to fluctuate for servers, but I’m hoping spots open up soon.

What I’m unsure of is if I tell them to just select another server in the meantime and create their characters, does that initial home server selection kick off the 7 day cooldown on transferring servers? I’m hoping it doesn’t, and that they’ll be able to keep an eye on the World Selection and hop over as soon as possible. I’m trying to figure out if I should tell them to hold off on playing the game until spots open up, or to go ahead and grab another server.

Thanks for any help you can give!

No, it does not trigger the cooldown since it’s not a server transfer.

That’s what I hoped, thanks!

I currently am having the same issue I recently purchased the game ankittenrying to join my friends server however it’s always full. Am I able to select another server and play, then transfer my home world to their home server for free? I do not want to select a different world then get screwed over and not be able to play with my friends.
