Guild Wars 2

My fiance and I just got the game and planned to play on a server with friends. This server has been full all day so we have been unable to start playing.

After looking around it appears that at one point server transfers were free, is this still the case? I am hoping so as we would like to start playing soon and it won’t matter if we are on their server until later when we want to do wvw stuff.

You may have to try some odd hours. When my husband followed me to a normally full server [this took him days to finally get it], he finally got in though a small window that literally only lasted a few moments and this was early morning mid week before he had to head out to work.

Ah good, this is exactly what I was going to post about too. I had been wondering if servers that display as Full were full for good or not. Guess I better find the right time to change! I gotta catch up with my friends!
Could someone explain to me how it works in this game though? Does changing servers take your existing characters to that new one? Or are characters exclusive to the realm on which they were created?

When u select a new server to wich you want to transfer.. u will transfer ur whole accout.. every characters

That’s awesome. Thank you Knyx! <3
