Guild Wars 2

Hello, I just got GW2 and I was going to play with a friend on the server she was on. Unfortunately it says that the server (Tarnished Coast) is full and I can’t chose it for my home server. Does this mean I can’t ever pick tarnished coast for my home server? Or does it mean there are too many people on just at the moment and if I wait a day or two I will be able to join it. If I can’t join said sever can I still quest and level with her by guesting on her server? What are the limitations of guesting?

You will be able to swap to Tarnished Coast when, and if, the server stops being so full. It typically happens at least once every 2 weeks or so, but with server transfers costing ~$20, I’m not sure what I would do.

If you were to Guest, you could do everything and anything with your friend EXCEPT partake in World Versus World Versus World (WvW) together.

There are a few bypasses to the world transfer fee, such as deleting all your characters allows you to change your world for free, so if you’re a bit impatient, I would use this time to get used to the classes. I would not partake in PvE at the current moment so you won’t be daunted by re-doing the same stuff all over again. Simply make a character (any race, you’re making it for the class) and then go to Structured PvP (sPvP, located in the Hearts of the Mist [look for the crossed swords at the top left of your screen]) and test your skills/weapons. You’ll have everything (except Racial skills) unlocked, so you can feel free to figure out what you want to be/do. This will make it easier because you WILL make and remake and remake and remake your characters until you find what you like. It has and always will be a good and bad thing about Guild Wars. The Classes are so unique and different that you want to be all of them at the same time.
