Q:

First of all,hello! I am recently planning to transfer to Tarnished Coast but i have a few questions about it.
My first question is:Nearly all the players from Tarnished Coast i see are saying how great and helpful their community is,is it really like that or if so that community still remains?
My second question is:I am playing on an EU server,does transfering to a NA server would make a big difference? I mostly play at night and during that timeline EU servers are mostly well…dead.
My third question is:Nearly everytime i checked Tarnished Coast"s server status its always full.Is there are specific time where the server isnt full?
My fourth question is:I heard that Tarnished Coast is an RP server but to be honest i am not really good at RPing,would that affect my game?(during PvP,PvE etc.?)
My last question is:Server transfering to TC costs 1800 gems and when i checked the gem store there are only few presets(10$=500 gems etc.) is there any way to order a specific amount of gems like 1800?
Thats all the questions i have,i hope i didnt bore you with all these questions.Thanks for taking time to read them.I will be waiting for your answers,thank you and have a nice day!
P.S=Also please excuse any grammar mistakes in my post,English is not my native language.
Thanks again.

A:

1. Yes, it is as great as everyone says and the community is wonderful and helpful. [Please note Trolls exist everywhere but they rarely flourish on TC chat] I have no doubt other servers have excellent communities too. Some starter areas are busier than others but I have never been in a map and felt that I was alone.

2. I moved to TC from an EU server and I experience no problems whatsoever with regard to people being around when I play. There is a lot of overlap between different groups of players. The only problem you may experience is if you are in a guild where all or most of the other members live in a specific timezone which differs from yours substantially.

3. For some reason the time between 10pm-Midnight (GMT) worked well for a group of us EU players who were looking to transfer a few months ago. Not sure if this is still the case.

4. No, you are not forced to RP if you don’t want to. The RP community host a load of events though and are very social. You will occasionally come across people RPing in map or local chat, or see emote text, but as long as you realise that’s what it is it causes no problems.

5. Not sure about this, as far as I know the gem amounts are set to a fixed amount of money. The only way to guarentee 1800 gems would be to use in game gold, I think.

Hope some of this helps.

Why don’t you guest over there for awhile? I was on TC from Beta2 and just recently transferred off. It does have a great community, but its suffering from a bit of growing pains as it approaches T1 in WvW.

Outside of WvW? It was envisioned as the unofficial RP Server and it maintained a pretty mature playerbase and an outstanding community for months. Map chat was fun and polite. Guesting has changed that to some extent.

Its still decent community, but not as good as it was several months ago.

Unfortunately, if you’re currently on a EU server, you cannot guest to a NA server. Everything else that was already said is true. I have been on TC since beta as well, but pvp is not a big thing for me personally so I’m not as concerned with how well we do in WvW.
