New Player
I am on Ring Of Fire (EU server) and everytime i go to a low level zone there are quite a few players there. Especially in queensdale (The starting area for the human race) i see low level players all the time. The chat is filled with people asking for events etc. That might be because of the boss called: “Shadow behemoth” which spawns in that zone. Itsa huge boss that drops a chest filled with loot.
So i think ring of fire is a good server, atleast now. i have no idea if its going to change
Hello and welcome.
- Almost all “normal” events are soloable. Events with the [Group Event] Tag are not typically soloable, but those can be done as well on occasion.
- Are you from the EU or NA? I’m on Anvil Rock and we have a decent population in newbie areas, especially since the implementation of laurels. It’s easier to get dailies done in those areas.
- Find a good guild.
- If you want to play WvW regularly, don’t join the top 6 WvW servers. The que times are ridiculous.
Other than that, I hope you have fun
TIP: You can guest on other servers, so if you feel you made a poor decision, you can always play on up to two others, giving you 3 servers to choose from. YOU CAN NOT WvW ON A GUESTED SERVER.

These are the only two states you’ll find the world of Tyria.”
If you’re in the US, Tarnished Coast is one of the busiest servers, particularly if you’re interested in PVe.
I have several low level alts and I’m in low zones quite frequently because of it. There’s almost always people around, even at off hours.
Some of your server choice depends on what time you play. I’m on the East Coast of the US but chose a SE Asia server.
I play in the very early morning. Around 4am to 9am my time, but this translates to SE Asia’s primetime night play.
Works perfect for me. And I’ve met some really, really awesome people! My guild is great.
Make a good friend and play with them
I play on Desolation[EU] and the place seems friendly. WvW (wiki it if you need to know what it is) queue times are high with respect to other servers but if you know you want to play WvW at 8pm then just start queuing an hour earlier and keep queuing over and over until you get in. You can always go do something else in the open world when youre queuing.
Retired and living in a shack. Relaxing!
Hi and welcome- everyone here gave very good advice
I’’ll just ad that I’m on Gunnar’s Hold EU and have been since the betas.
It is a very fun, friendly and helpful sever with many new players.
We have some funny map chat especially in the low lvl zones and I see many people spread out through out the game.
We have a forum community site
http://www.gunnars-hold.eu/forum.php
where you can find out about PvE events
and a WvWvW forum where you can join up with others and even get training if you want.
Have Fun
I used to be on Henge of Denravi (US) and that was a nice, friendly server. Right before I left the major guilds were getting together and doing server-wide events, zones of the day, etc. So that was cool.
Right now I’m on Tarnished Coast, and it’s a lot of fun. But I have to say, a lot depends on your guild. Look for one that’s noob-friendly, and doesn’t require 100% rep.
I would say avoid HoD. I would leave if my guild wasn’t here.
Tarnished Coast and Yak’s Bend are both very good servers afaik
Information Added:
I would play on a North American Server .
more suggestions ?
I have to put in one more suggestion for Tarnished Coast. A very active and friendly bunch in all areas of the game, provided you don’t mind running across the occasional RP.

Dragonbrand, for sure. Lots of friendly and helpful players. I am always typing stuff on map chat and almost always find someone to have a friendly dialogue with.
So here are the servers that is popular:
Tarnished Coast
Dragonbrand
Yak’s Bend
more suggestions ? A server who has many “newbie/new players” huh
I’m a new player as well – started two weeks ago.
I’m on Jade Quarry and the low level areas have a very good population. I play in the evenings (US Central time), and I see groups everywhere.
Yak’s Bend is great if you’re looking for a NA server. I’ve been on a few different servers and am very happy I chose to settle down here. Lots of friendly folks around. If anyone ever has a question in map chat, people are nice and offer advice. I rarely do a dynamic event alone no matter where I go, there are always players running around on every map. We have a great world events crowd, too. Some of my best times in game have been spent waiting for dragons to show up! As for WvW, I’m just a casual but every time I go in, I have a blast with my fellow Yakkers. I’d say YB is an all-around great server to be a part of!
Oh , Jade Quarry is popular too , my friend also recommends me that
because there are many Filipinos there like me (I’m from Philippines)

Great to new people and (as far as I have seen) very active and helpful to new people.
I’m on Yak’s Bend and it’s a really good server. I’m in the starter areas quite a bit and people are always calling out the group events and there are always plenty of people to do them. We’re right in the middle of the wvw rankings which means we have a good time, we lose some we win some and there aren’t queues very often and when there are they are usually pretty short. I’ve generally found people to be friendly and helpful and have had lots of fun teaming up with random people to do things whether it’s a rez on a jumping puzzle or letting you know an event is about to pop or just running through the area together.
I’m so excited to play , maybe 1 or 2 more days before I play.
I chose these servers:
Yak’s Bend
Tarnished Coast
Jade Quarry
Dragonbrand
maybe I’ll just pick the server that is available / not full
Pic yaks bend and add me… I am new to and the more friends the merrier
Thanks again for your suggestions .

Bump!! this thread .
I would like to ask again ,about jumping puzzles ..
Is jumping puzzles repeatable?
Jumping puzzles are repeatable for the chests daily. You will only get the achievement the first time you complete it, but the chests can be opened daily (per chara).

I have not done it myself, but it appears that both credit cards and Paypal can be used through the game client. You can also buy ‘gem cards’ from some retail gaming stores.

Those are the only two options I see in the in-game Gem Store, so I do not believe so.

Is that for all Countries ?? because I keep on searching videos on youtube
their selected country is USA. then it is Paypal and Credit Card ..
Is Philippines included in the list ? or other many countries ..
If Philippines is available in the list , what payment methods they offer
I believe Philippines can be selected in the ‘Billing Country’ list. I do not believe that it will change the billing options.
