Guild Wars 2

Hello ArenaNet,

I recently came back to Guild Wars 2 and was wondering if I could make a new character on a full server after deleting all characters on the previous home world. Right now I’m trying to get on Jade Quarry so I can play with friends but the transfer is disabled due to the world being “Full.” So would I be able to create a new character instead and if not do the servers ever get cleared up? Please let me know, thanks.

As long as the server is full you will not be able to transfer no matter what method you use, paid or by deleting characters.

/sigh Is there anyway to get on a full server? Like specific times when you could actually transfer?

Whether or not you transfer with gems of by deleting all your characters doesn’t matter. Full is full. Servers get “cleared up” when people leave them, either transferring or deleting their accounts, or getting banned (I think). You could camp the transfer screen and try to get an open spot, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
When you play, you add one character to the server, no matter if that character is new or comes from your old server. And if there is no more room for your character, deleting won’t help.
Also, if it’s not WvW you’re after, you can still play with your friends as long as you’re in the same region (EU or NA). If you don’t get sorted into the same megaserver, group with them and join them.

Good luck getting a spot, though.

Edit: Ninja’d by JustTrogdor…

The transfer rate does slow down during off peak times for people who are looking to transfer on and off of Jade Quarry.

Looking at off peak times doesn’t guarantee a spot, but spots that open up will on average last longer since fewer people are actively watching the status of the server.
