PVE focus server
Try a larger server? Like Jade Quarry, Stormbuff Isle, etc.

Don’t do this or you’re stuck for a week. I live in the United States, but most of the people I play games with are European, so I play on the EU servers. I started out on Whiteside Ridge which was lightly populated, but still alright. Then we switched to Desolation on the recommendation of a friend. The PvE was fantastic, PvP was decent, and all was well, save for the time difference. When it was 7pm or 8pm in my time zone, most of Europe was already sleeping. Another NA friend of mine and I decided we would switch to one of the NA servers to try out the PvE there, figuring it would be great. After a couple of days waiting for the servers to have room, we finally switched to Stormbluff Isle. What a waste of a week.
Concerning PvE, it’s virtually non existent. Every day for the week we were there, we looked for various dungeon runs all throughout the day, never finding anything except the occasional CoF and FotM run. The structured PvP is a joke, too. You can autorun your character against the wall and still score top of the match. The only thing that server excelled at was WvW, but I don’t like steamrolling or being steamrolled by a zerg, so I haven’t done WvW since I got the Gift of Battle.
I can’t speak for Jade Quarry, but Stormbluff Isle is only good if you want hardcore WvW. We switched back to Desolation as soon as we could and we haven’t regretted it since. If you want PvE, Desolation is a great place to find it.
