Hi Guys,

Well basically title says it all. I am a returning player and want to get started again. However the world I am on currently is as good as empty. Last time I’ve seen anyone is a few days ago, and I play each day.

So i was wondering what is a good world to transfer to, which is at least a bit active. Can’t be bothered waiting 3/4 hours for a dungeon group like i had to in the old days.

Any advice would be great!

Are you in the EU or in NA?
Keep in mind you can always guest to try a world out before paying money for transfer.
Also keep in mind that for dungeons you can use the LFG-tool (Y) to find pug’s cross worlds (so not limited to yours).

Personally I’m on the EU world Gandara and it is pretty active in most maps.

yip. to guest:
a: go to the character select screen
b: select your character
c: press world selection
d: select the world you want to guest on
e: press guest
f: tell them your certain bout
g: press login.

To stop guesting just return to the login screen but press login right away and your returned to your home world.

if you got no interest in wvw it doesnt matter which world you are on, you can always just guest another one and the lfg tool (top left corner 2nd option) finds you people for dungeons etc across all servers

two small exceptations
1: annoyance cause you have to setup up the guest very time again when you relog
2: Guilds influence isnt shared across servers as well as having benefit from the influence or being able to help during puzzle/rush (you can participate and you will get your reward when your guesting to your guilds main server, but it doesnt count for the 15 people needed to cross the line for the guild reward).

But guesting is perfect for trying out/waiting till you have the resource to pay for a transfer.

Also a good moment to explain the option of a free transfer.
This means some sacrifices though.
1: place all your valuables in the bank (except soulbound items, these will be lost).
2: delete all your characters.
3: transfer for three.
4: start all over with new characters.
