Guild Wars 2

I’ve recently gotten back into the game after about 2 years away. I am wondering if there is still a large rp community about in this game, and on what servers are best, for me to join.

Servers only matter for WvW. Feel free to join any server that you like if you don’t plan to do that.

I’d search for guilds that do RP.

Edit: I found the following website. Checking there may be a good start.

Edit2: The region the servers are in matter. Players on NA servers cannot play with players on EU servers.

The Pikensquare server used to be the #1 best RP server but i don’t know if it still is.

Servers only matter in that the system will give some preference to players on the same server. It might influence which shard a person ends up on and whether or not he’s likely to run into random RPers.

But it’s not a huge issue, and I believe it gives stronger preferences to people on your friends list or in your guild. So like the advice above, find an RP guild, then friend the ones you like.

As I recall, Tarnished Coast was quite a popular home for RPers and it may still be, as well. RPers all endeavor to get into the same map instance, which you probably know can be accomplished for the formation of a group and then the “join [name] on their map” functionality.

Yes, TC is the ‘RP server’. Because of megaservers getting on it is hit or miss getting on though, so the best thing is to find an RP guild or go to a major RP area (like the uninstanced home area in Divinity’s Reach).

There is still quite a bit of RP in the game. I am on Tarnished Coast and part of a mega RP guild whose sole purpose is to make linking to megaserver maps with Rpers more common.

-For the main racial cities the number one area for RP always will be Divinities Reach (You can glide over the wall into the Salma District from the Grenth waypoint, lots of RPers there).
-After that, I would say the Grove is the next likely area to find random RP.
-The Black Citadel is popular for Charr related RP, though it seems guild focused.
-I could count on my hand the number of times I’ve seen RP at Hoelbrack.
-And I have no idea about Rata Sum as I hardly stay for long, though it isn’t ever a ghost town when I go there for a quick bank teleport from Magumma, so there could be an RP scene there.

There are people doing it in Rata Sum. I can’t say how often though.

Can’t say how often either, since i don’t frequent it that much, but still practically every time i’m there, i see some rp going around. It’s mostly asura-focused though.

And trust me, you’ll know when they do. -_-

That emote range is absurd.

Rata Sum organize spontaneous naked sing-along dance toghether raves very often. How much of those craziness really counts as RP is debatable.
