Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I have recently taken a look at Guild Wars 2 again. As a EU player i would also like to join a livestreamer out there in his guild, but he’s on a NA server, Crystal desert to be specific. Now, I am very unsure about what region I am picking. The only real question that is keeping me from it at this point is, would I have players to play with on Crystal Desert as my primetime would be around 18:00 (6pm) (GMT+2), a few hours earlier and a few hours later, or would that run out and make a huge difference from the EU servers?

Regards,
Douzeh

The game has Megaservers which means that everyone playing at any time is put in the fewest possible numbers of maps shards so any map you go to should have people playing on it unless it’s a new shard just opened up or an old one that emptied out.

You can go ahead and try Crystal Desert. If it doesn’t suit you, after 7 days you can delete all your characters (after putting all non soulbound items in your bank) and transfer for free to any server of your choice in either the NA or EU server group.

Accounts without active characters
“The transfer fee is waived for accounts without any active characters. This allows players just starting out to change to another world that is not full. You also can transfer without cost if you delete all your existing characters. The next time you log on without any characters, you will be prompted to choose a new home world. Please be aware of the following:
Transfers to any game world — whether free or paid for with gems — are allowed only if the population of the world is at less than capacity.
Transfers to any game world — whether free or paid for with gems — are allowed only once per seven days.
If you decide to delete the characters on your account, Customer Support cannot restore them, in whole or in part.
Items left on the characters will be deleted and cannot be restored. Move items to your personal account bank to preserve them.”
