Guild Wars 2

Im a bit out of the loop, but a RL friend bought the game. He wants to play with me, in WVW especially. I am currently residing on JQ, and have been since launch day, and It doesnt seem possible for him to get on JQ, So i’d have to transfer “down” (which honestly, should be free, lol)
Can i get some info on how competitive/active these servers are? I havent played in about 6 months.
TC; FA; Yaks Bend; SoS
I remember SoS was big on aussies, but lacked people during primetime.

Those are the ones i’ve seen open/able to transfer to at some point.,

I’d be biased towards my server YB but its a great community that we have

We are in T2 matchup atm which is dominated by FA, so we could definitely use some helping hands. I don’t play NA/EU, but during OCX/SEA there’s no queues on any map (unless its during season). If you are interested, please feel free to browse our forum (link in my signature) and ask anything you’d like

Quick Summary of the servers from an Unbiased stance before I offer my opinion

TC: Solid T1 Server. Not often available for transfers but does have constant coverage throughout most time zones. Official Roleplaying GW2 Server. Although if u were on JQ since launch you should have an idea about what TC is like.

FA: Has become the behemoth of T2. Good Coverage and a Strong NA Prime time (there will be ques). Do field a lot of numbers on a tag and has a fair few quality guilds in NA prime

YB: This server has built from the bottom by playing the game in a way that anet intended. Kill, Grab, SEIGE! YB is the official Seige server in NA and will have arrow carts aplenty for you to use! Less skilled and coverage than FA but compensate with a Stupendous defense that will constantly Require golems to penetrate!

SoS: The growing server! SoS features a very unique taste to WvW in the sense that it has a lot of Non-NA population. Official OCX server and has plenty of guilds to join. NA prime is not comparable to FA or YB but is building. This server will be the easiest to join since it almost always is OPEN during SEA/EU hours.

Now for my biased opinion!

I reside on SoS and We are currently sitting pretty comfortable in T2. There are always fights available and usually the off hours are never an issue for SoS. NA prime is the weakest in T2 but we are bringing in Guilds to fix that. Our latest Project has been to focus on enhancing the community we have built of SoS by doing community events, raffles, and many more events to bond not as a server, but as a gaming family. I would highly recommend checking us out at

www.sosgw2.com

Or by reading the various SoS threads in the recruitment and community events sections of the forums! I would recommend scouting out not only SoS, but FA,YB, and TC to see what flavor suits you best! Anyway good luck! I hope I see ya around SoS mate!
