Guild Wars 2

Sorry if this is a common question, I did a google search and didn’t find anything with the type of information I was looking for.

I was wondering what the general characteristics of the different servers were in the interest of choosing one. For instance servers that generally attracted more roleplayers vs WvWers and etc. I remember at release hearing about some server that most of the gw1 pvp community was choosing if anyone remembers that.

Just pick the one with the name you prefer… i miss Aurora Glade so much… (i switched to Ruins of Surnia to join a friend and couldn’t leave back in time cause my pc’s got blue screens for 2 months…BLEAGH)

The unofficial roleplaying servers are:

• Tarnished Coast (North America)
• Piken Square (Europe)

As far as I know, both have a relatively high population and relatively mature and helpful communities. (I’m on TC and I like it here.)

Here’s the World versus World rankings in case you’re really into that:

• North American servers
• European servers

You would have to decide for yourself whether you would want to join “the winning team” or “the underdog”. (I’m not very active in WvW myself but I think I’d go for the latter.)

I haven’t been able to find a list of servers sorted by population, but in general, transferring (permanently) to en emptier server is cheaper than transferring to a high population server.

Useful info on transferring and guesting can be found here .

I am on TC also. RP servers typically have an active community in most aspects of a game. Very true for TC.

Having played on other servers I find good players and helpful people everywhere.
Also those ‘other’ people are on every server… And as they like to say, “deal with it; you can’t tell me how to behave”.

I bet you find good people on whatever server you chose.

Good luck and enjoy the game.

Are you looking for a North American server or a European one?
