Hi there!
Just started with Guild Wars 2 and I struggle with the choice of a home server? I’m currently on SoS as I play from Australia and I read thats the unofficial Oceanic server. But I don’t know if thats a good choice. I play usually late night till morning and than in the late afternoon again. And I don’t want to be on a server where the population is only dominant at oceanic times. Like SoS is (as far as I read in the forum).
So maybe BG, JQ or TC would maybe be a better choice if I want to do some WvW.

I don’t have to jump on the bandwagon and choose BG, I just want to get it right in the beginning and try to avoid to have to delete characters or pay a transfer fee later on. So I really would appreciate some input here.

Cheers

Putting my bias out there right now, Blackgate has a pretty good population for when you’d be on in the afternoon (NA PST primetime) and we have a reasonable amount of English speaking Oceanics and SEA players who seem to be insomniacs and don’t go to bed until about 3-4am.

However any T1 server will have enough coverage for the timezones you’re after.

May also pay to ask this question in the WvW forums for a better response rate too

I am on Jade Quary and I have noticed we have a solid population of Australian players. Many in my guild actually, so I would suggest JQ. (Besides Blackgate players natoriously kill kittens)
