Guild Wars 2

Hello All

Im new to GW2 but not new to mmo… Happen to buy the game yesterday and now i got a doubt …. Was wondering which home world should i initially select for Europe. There are tons and im confused on which to pick. Can you suggest me a server and a race which would be fun to start with.. is necro fun ?

Ty !

Welcome to GW2 CursedGhoul!

First off you need to understand that being European doesn’t limit your world choice to EU. I am European, but play for a Northern American server.

That being said the best European world and I can suggest to you overall is Gandara. If you want to stick to EU, go there.

If you want to give NA a try, come over to Ehmry Bay, we’d be happy to help you out and roll with you!

As far as the race goes, its irrelevant. Choose whatever you like the look of. And yes, necromancers are great. I main a necromancer and Ill be happy to help you out with yours whenever Add me in-game for more information!

Server wise it doesn’t really matter unless you intend to play WvW. If you don’t want to play WvW then pick whichever server you like the name of best.

If you intend to play WvW here are the current standings -

Personally I’d recommend Aurora Glade. Here’s why -

With regards to race there’s no specific race/class combo’s you have to use. Choose a race you like the look of pick your class and off you go.

Necro is good fun but it begins to fall short of other classes in the higher end PvE. If you want to speed run dungeons then there are much better classes. If you’re not to fussed about that then yeah Necro is fine for PvE just be aware that some people may kick you from groups.
Necro does do well in WvW and sPvP and is often quite wanted there.

Thanks @oRx and @Delat .. now i think i get a clear picture of what i got to do :P

and can i switch between NA and EU servers without doing /paying transfer ?

Switching between any server (regardless of region) either costs gems or if you have no characters is free. Moving servers is restricted to once a week (I believe) so when you move you’ll have to wait if you decide you want to move again.

1 thing to note – if you’re playing on an EU server you can’t play with people on NA servers but you can play with players on any other EU server.

Yes and no. Server switching in general in GW2 costs gems which can be bought with cash or in-game gold; the price is same regardless of the area the server youre transfering to belongs to. The only criteria changing the price is the server’s population; more populated servers are generally more expensive to transfer to than less populated ones.

Also, server transfering is free if you have no characters on the account. So you can always delete the characters and transfer then, storing all your belongings into the bank to make sure that doesn’t disappear aswell, but you have to consider if its worth it.

Honestly, theres little to no difference between EU or NA servers, other than its peak times

Hope I helped.

@Delat. Thanks for the note

@oRx .. Thanks for the info

Im happy to be able to help. I’ll add you in-game when I get home whatever your decission will be to help you out through the basics should you need any help.

Regards, oRx

Thanks I will login once my client call is done

Okays! Just pick a server you think you’d enjoy the most, all are really okay, but again, I know for sure Gandara is a great place to start your journey at in EU
