Worlds being full
Create character at night.
Switch servers.
There are no queues.
uhm i thought that once you create a character in a world it becomes permanently stuck there.
Getting multiple of threads on this same topic -

Makes it really hard to have a solid discussion. Strongly recommend people post in the same thread so that all voices and reasoning are heard.
So i wanted to play GW with my buddy on the world he is in but it is always full. How can i get into it without it being full besides waiting until late night or if i do manage to get in will the population of the world affect my ability to play the game when i want too?
You can’t am afraid, until the server gets some free room there are no ways to get there.
Also, once you are on the server, you are on it for good. I don’t know 100% how it works, but only when room will be made available is when you may join.
You might have to check in on servers everytime you log on until you get your window…
Sorry I couldn’t have been more helpful xD
It depends on what server you want to be on. There are usually 4 servers that are always full (ie: Tarnished Coast) and you’ll have a hard time getting on them. If they’re opened at all, it’s only for a split second. I know, because I’m in the same situation as you. I’ve been camping the server that I want for 4 days now and I’ve been signing on to check every 10 minutes when I’m on. I’ve been trying at awkward hours (12am / 4am / 10am) it doesn’t matter. Even tried it right after a server restart, still said Full.
/sigh

You’re uninformed then. Search the forums for further information on world changing or how to play together if not on the same server.
well i just got the game and i only have basic knowledge from my friend but i think i get what people are saying. Would it be recommended to check around midnight to try to get into Crystal Desert?

Probably your best chance. Although since it’s holidays time with a special event at the moment you might find it hard to get yourself in.
It might take a few try but if you DO keep checking more or less everytime you login at a low peak hour then you will get in eventually.
You can transfer worlds once every 7 days for free.
They lifted all server caps just before Wintersday and have lifted them a number of times since the game launched.
Check very late at night or very early in the Am for a free spot on a Full server.
Instead of pining for increased server caps, people need to be looking at it from a different perspective. For every full server, there are several that are very high and some that still list at high – meaning there is plenty of room for both you and your friends there.
Increasing or opening server caps on the full realms will only serve to make those that aren’t full eventually feel very empty. That shouldn’t be acceptable to anyone who cares about the long term health of PVE in the game or the competitive landscape of WvW.
Rather than increased server caps, we need new ways to balance populations across servers or new ways for people to play across servers – regardless of where their friends are. Until we see something like that, the only real solution is stricter server caps to encourage more population spread. These are the things we need to be asking of developers.
In the meantime, If you want to play with your friends – do yourself and the game a favor and move with them to a lower populated realm.
