Guild Wars 2

hello , i am new to guild wars…just bought and currently w8ing for my updating to finish…i am from india which is the best server for me to join….with enough players n less bots…plz help with information regarding game..thankyou

I don’t think it really matters that much. You can see the server population when you have to pick one, so there you can decide if you want a server which is almost full or one with room left, allthough I’m not sure if you’ll really notice that difference.

And ofcourse you can pick between an American and an European server. Just make sure you don’t pick a Spanish/German or French European server, since you most likely won’t understand them.

More information about all the available servers:

There are several bottlenecks for how long it takes your computer to tell ANet’s servers what you are doing:

1. In your house, between router and your computer.
2. Your ISP and the service you buy from them.
3. How close is your home to the internet backbone.
4. The physical distance between you and ANet’s data servers.
5. The first three things on ANet’s side. (Nothing you can do to change this, however.)

Only (4) is affected by the server you choose:

• US servers are based out of Dallas, TX: 8836 Miles to Mumbai
• EU servers out of Germany (near Munich iirc): 3949 Miles. (much better for India)

There’s not much you can do about (3), except to move (or change ISPs). For (2), you can purchase a different service from the same provide. You can do stuff to reduce (1), but for most people, it’s much less important than the rest.

thanks guyss….i hope i can join EU servers…….and one more thing..how to sell items in game to players….we can trade items? or we have to use trading post?…..

I am from India as well and have joined the Northern Shiverpeaks (NA) server.

I have absolutely no problems with the lag in Dungeons or PvP….however its lags a lot in WvWvW.
But it lags for everyone anyways.

Since free transfers are now restricted to once every 7 days you may want to research a bit.
Best of luck!!

All Indians come to Whiteside ridge no bots no lagg since not too populated just recenlty became high We can form an Exclusive Indian guild and do it our way

There are virtually no bots or gold sellers in GW2. The Trading House works across all servers so there’s no difference there.

The only thing you might want to think about is the PvE/PvP orientation of the server.
You might find this site useful if you want to PvP (WvW) http://mos.millenium.org/

Re trading: You can send items and money directly to other players, but the game has no safeguards against scams. So you have to trust the other person to send his/her side of the trade. On the TP you can’t see who is selling or buying stuff, or pick who gets your particular items, and even after the “expected profit” there’s another hidden cut taken out. I just sold a Zodiac axe skin for 61 gold, paying a listing fee, and what I actually collected from the trader was 55 gold.

On the other hand you can put your stuff up and let it sit and later on have a nice surprise stack of coin waiting for you when it finally sells, without having to make sure the buyer’s on line. For more, check the Black Lion Trading subforum, where the people that actually work the market for a profit discuss how to do so.
