Starting out, servers full, any ideas?
The only thing you cannot do with your friends from another NA server is WvW. If that is not the most important thing for you, just pick any server that has room. If playing WvW with your friends is a priority then you may be stuck waiting for an opening a long time.
If you decide to wait for a spot, you can still start playing a bit on another server. If you delete all your characters you can transfer for free later or for a fee with all your characters.
I agree with what Garambola said. Just make a toon on another server and you can play with them, atleast until TC opens up (Which may take a long time).
