Can't Change Server

[TITLEplayer]

I deleted all my characters but I am still stuck on the server I've chosen. My friend is on another server. Am I forced to buy expansion? It just talks about character server transfer. What if I want to play my characters on two different American servers?

Can I play with my friend in the overworld, who is in a different server? How important must we be on the same server for World vs World or whatever that is?

You can do everything besides WvW, and I think they are redoing WvW and going to allow you to play WvW with people on other servers relatively soon. Idk when, they just had a beta for it. Even guilds are cross server.

You can read about transferring here:

Basically, once you created a character, you cannot transfer free of charge, even if you delete it.

Also, there are no servers in GW2 in the traditional sense. The one you are referring to is your "Home World". It only has any meaning in World vs World, an open world PvP game mode, where home worlds fight other home worlds. If your friend chose a different home world from you, you cannot play alongside each other in WvW.

However, the game has megaservers, one for NA and one for EU. Any player on either on the two can play with any other player on the same megaserver. So, if your friend chose a homeworld that is in the same region as yours, North America or Europe, you can play together in every part of the game. Except for WvW, as described above.

Can I have multiple characters in different home worlds?

How long ago was this beta?

No. All your characters are on the same home world.

They are working on restructuring WvW, at the end of which process home worlds will become obsolete, as in you will no longer be associated with one. Your team in WvW will be determined by your guild.
When this will happen, we don't know. Sometimes they do beta tests in the live game, the last one was a week ago.

No. All your characters are on the same home world.

Even after I buy an expansion?

Oh that sounds really good. I hope that feature successfully launches soon.

Yes. GW2 doesn't work like other MMOs.
See my previous post. Servers/home worlds will soon lose their meaning.
