Which server should i pick for roaming EU
You should better wait a bit. They are currently working on something according to datamining posts ( But they are really taking their time now… ).
WvW is pretty dead right now, even on higher populated servers. PvP season is also running until February. Don’t blow your gems on this gamemode right now. They don’t deserve it. Hopefully we will see more population when the new reward system comes. If your server still sucks you can swap.
Roaming is a joke. I see people blowing their money on damage reduction food while encountering one poor soul on average in 30 minutes.

Deso dead? Strange, I logged my Deso toon the other day and it had 20+ queues on two maps at the weekend.
There are a lot less people on outside of prime time.
If you want to find enemies to fight, go and start flipping everything in the enemy home border- that usually gets you some action:-)
I was inactive for like 1 year.3 days now at 3 different times like morning,afternoon and night i was roaming trying to find roamers.I was lucky 2 days ago at eb some pt were roaming,but most i see siege in eb, and of course not like in the past.I also saw some posts with wvw tiers i am not sure i understood like the less tier the less massive population and more roamers?sorry guys for the trouble i just love to roam xD.
You’re facing wrong servers to face roamers. Best servers to face against to get some roaming action would be in this order: Gandara, Desolation, Jade Sea, Seafarers rest, Gunnars hold. Unfortunately all of them are kinda in different tier.
Basically, just dont face German servers and you have much higher chance to get action, because Germans dont roam. And even if they do, they log out after 1 death.
EU Roamer, Dueler, Commander, Fighter, Scout

LOL at placing Gandara at the top of that list.
Piken Square still has a lot of roamers, they just tend to PvP more because of the roaming scene still declining.

I always rage but never quit.
We have a healthy roaming scene here on Gandara. I moved to Gandara to get access to this. Plenty of people promoting solo and small group roaming.
However, I’d say it might be in your interest to join maybe Piken so you can fight the roamers on Gandara.
It depends what you consider good roaming.
If you like to run a low risk high reward build with a few other people around attacking groups smaller than yours or single players. Then stealth and run away while jumping like you have hot coals beneath your feet then yeah Gankdara, Piken and Gunnar’s Hold would be top of my list for similar minded individuals.
If you actually want to run around with a small group taking on bigger groups or solo, perhaps being a pita and camping in a tower killing small groups that try to flip it till they have to call in the blob then go else where. SFR isn’t so bad but you could also go to a linked server.
It has 2 advantages, firstly most of the linked servers have people who very rarely had groups bigger than 20 and would consider that a map blob before linking so are more roaming inclined. Secondly you can get relinked every other month for more variety.
Ofc if you want to just duel outside SM then it doesn’t really matter what server you’re on, they all have people doing that.
Fyi, I’m on WSR and there’s a decent number of roamers from our server and we still have some roaming guilds around.
A server in a different game more suited to roaming.
