Guild Wars 2

I am getting excited and I am at 76%…I am in the US so do you guys have any suggestions on a server to chose?

I mostly want to focus on casual PvE maybe PvP once I get going for a few months and maybe one of the smaller servers or newer ones. I want to grow with the community I am playing with and not be overwhelmed by the numbers but still be able to meet people.

Your choice of ‘world’ only matters for WvW. No matter which server you’re on, you’ll end up in PvE and PvP maps with players on other worlds. The ‘megaserver’ system creates a new instance of each map depending on how many players are present for that map, with only a little priority given to people from the same server. Your friends, party members, and even guild members are more likely to automatically join you in the same instance.

There are no “new” servers; they have all been around the same amount of time.

So when you get a chance to choose, I’d recommend sorting by population and picking one in the middle that has a name that you like. If you think you might want to try WvW some day, then perhaps pick Yak’s Bend, Fort Aspenwood, or Sea of Sorrows. I’m on Tarnished Coast, which is nearly always full. I have friends on YB and they’ve been very happy there; I’ve heard good things about FA and SoS and those three are in the same tier of WvW: good fights, but not the top tier.
