Is there any way to change worlds for free? I’ve read something around that deleting all your characters will actually make the account like brand new. Is that still working? I really want to change the worlds without paying.

Honestly I really think that’s not a thing to pay for on any mmo or any game.

Other MMOs ask money for it too. Here you can pay with ingame money to buy gems. Not as hard as ONLY real money.

If you delete all characters and put all valuables inside the bank, you can change the servers for free. Only things you loose will be souldbound items. No other character can take these.

Keep in mind deleting all your characters means you also loose all your dyes/recipes/karma/etc. Before doing this you may think about if it is really worth it.

Is your server really that bad?

Is it cheaper to keep all my characters (including soulbound items/karma/dyes/etc.) and save up gold to buy the gems?

Is is really worth the time I had to spend on the new characters? I know PvE is fun but would you really like to do the exact same quests with the exact same character only on a different server (if you really want to rebuild your characters after the transfer). For me this is not the case.

I hope this helps.

I guess, he knows what it means to start from scratch! Although, you can save materials and ingame money. So it is not really from scratch.
And doing something new – usually means that you can do it better.

Don’t see anything as bad. More often the glass is halfway full and not halfway empty.

Yes, you may delete all your characters and change worlds without a charge in gems.

And just FYI: Some companies once charged $50(!) per server change, so the GW2 charge — payable with in-game currency — is pretty kindly.
