Server with lots of Active Players.
Any of the servers that are very high in population have a lot of active players. BG for instance hit overflow in Lion’s Arch last night without any special reason.
Any of the t1 WvW servers. The reason why the game seems dead is because of everyone transferring to high-ranked WvW servers, leaving them stacked to stupid and all the lower servers deserted.
t2 ones are well-populated as well.
Tarnished Coast
Don’t assume that a server is populated just because it says, “Full”. My old server, Gate of Madness, said Full all the time, yet I couldn’t find a single person in almost 24 hours of playing.
I transferred to Tarnished Coast a couple days ago, and it’s so populated that there are people EVERYWHERE. There were people in the most deserted map areas I could think of. I am very pleased with this server, but I wish other servers were like it as well. I am also overjoyed because it seems like every single nice player in Guild Wars 2 has moved to Tarnished Coast. Take this for example. Someone linked an exotic drop that they looted from a champ, I said “Gimme” as a joke…. 30 seconds later it was in my mail.
Galtrix has it nailed. “Very High” or “High” mean NOTHING. Trust me from experience on a couple of other servers. Best option if you like activity is a T1 server (Blackgate, Sanctum of Rall or Tarnished Coast). T2 servers should be fine too.
But remember though, if you are on a T1 server, WvW might have long queues.
jq, sor, bg, your current t1 servers if i’m correct? Maybe tc as well. Everywhere else is empty.
