I've contemplated getting this game many times in the past year or so.
Now that the core game is free I decided to try it out.

Now my question is, what server should I play? I chose Crystal Desert but then found out I can't switch servers haha.
So I made a new account so I can choose a server.
Looking for one of the main servers that most people play

Thanks boys and grills

EDIT: Also thinking about making a Mesmer, Necro, or Ranger.
Any input on that?

first char go with a warrior so easy and tanky/dmg

then move onto more difficult classes like the mesmer and necro

ranger is easy also but war probably better for pve/wvw

also sever only really matters for WvW

i wouldn't recommend joining a gold server its full of huge blobs and you get wrecked also lots of queues

better to start with a silver server, if you are US dont join an eu server etc otherwise people won't be on wvw when you are (or at least not many)

i wouldn't go for mesmer first, it's so boring to level up. I'd go for warrior or ranger

Thanks for the info guys.
So is Crystal Desert a bad server to start on?

Server only matters for World vs World. The people you play with in town and in zones are from servers across a data server of sorts.

Oh ok good to know. thanks for the help m80.
So I am currently level 10 as a Norn Ranger. I got to the first play to learn huntsman, leather working etc
When should I learn them? I learned huntsman as I figured it'd be good to make bows, but I dont really understand how to do it...
Will they get explained more later on or do I just have downs lol..im not an experienced mmo player

Does crafting get explained more later on?
I learned huntsman to make bows but I can't figure out how to actually make a bow lol.
As you can tell I have minimal mmo experience haha

dont craft/buy any gear until 80 save your gold and buy exotics or craft them later on.

all low end gear is useless really so just use what you find

you can also pvp/wvw for rank chests etc to get decent ascended items
