Best USA server for PvE?
Devona’s Rest is a ghost town as well.
I know that’s not the answer you were looking for, but I can’t really speak for other servers. So maybe process of elimination will help.
Tarnished Coast. We’re consistently in Tier 2 for WvW as well.
However, the server is Full more or less permanently, so switching over could be an expensive exercise.
Guesting on various servers may be a good option to see if a particular server fits your needs.
Guesting around a bit first is smart, so you can get a feel for a server, especially if you usually play at a certain time of day.
Really, I’m sure any of the upper-ranked WvW servers will probably be good, simply because that suggests they have a high population. I’ve been on Jade Quarry since launch, and I can’t say I’ve ever felt the world was too short on people, even if some areas are naturally more crowded than others.
Blackgate and JQ I’ve noticed are the best for open world PvE. I constantly have JQ guested and between those two servers, I never struggle to find other players out in the world.
Isle of Janthir has been mostly PvE, we are in silver for WvW (whatever that means), we have helpful guilds and a fun community.
I’m from Crystal Desert. It a great server for PvE. Constant zerg train at Queensdale and Frostgorge Sound. In WvW we are in Silver league with average results.
Jade Quarry and Tarnished Coast are also two good server for PvE.
