Guild Wars 2

Hello all I’m stuck on the “pick a world” page. I’m really having trouble picking what server to go with as I’m new to the game. I’ve spent the last hour or so looking at server facts and what not but… I’m still a noob. So, can you help?

I will be PST.

I did alot of PvP in wow… much more than raiding

I’d like a server with mature/nice players (I’m 26)

I’ll probably get into pve and pvp.

-I want low que times
-I don’t want an RP server
-I don’t want an unoficcial Latin server (I don’t know spanish)
-I don’t want an unofficial christian server
-I just want a server that knows how to pvp, and has a good group of people to play with.

I looked into Sorrows Furnace because bodybuilding.com guild is located there, but they don’t seem to great with pvp….

IDK!!! Please help, or help put me at ease

I think I want to choose correctly because in WoW my server was east coast so it got pretty dead when I could play. I went east coast because my friends did :/

Thank you!

Well any tips on deciding, or is this making a mountain out of a molehill?

I think I’m picking Tarnished Coast… yay or nay?

Sorry to see you didn’t get any reactions, I’m a european player so don’t know a lot bout NA-worlds.

In your case you might want to check out leaderboards.guildwars2.com
This site let you see the top ranking World versus World servers. It is adviced to not pick the highest ranking ones if you dont want queues. TC is high ranking so can give queue’s. However, this tuesday a new map is going to be introduced in WvW thast will function as an overflow map. So instead of wating in queue you can go there and play WvW but then without scoring points for your homeworld.

The PvP-leaderboard is also helpfull cause you can see where the top ranking players are and what server they are on.

Tarnished Coast is the unofficial RP server.
Sea of Sorrows is the unofficial oceanic server, though they just received an influx of NA guilds.
Stormbluff Isle has long branded itself as the mature server.
Maguuma considers itself to be a college dorm room where they all make fun of one another, but that’s just part of their bonding experience.

Those are the highlights. Aside from that, avoid higher tiered servers (Black Gate, Sanctum of Rall, Jade Quarry) as they are bound to have longer queue times.

As it sounds like you are just starting out, note that you can transfer for free if you delete all of your characters. (Items in your bank/wallet will carry over.) Nobody likes to start over, but if you realize you don’t like your choice before you gain too many levels, it’s easy to pick a new server.

All server transfers have a one week cooldown period.
