NCsoft don't have much to do with GW2 thankfully and you can play on any server you (US or EU) like except in WvWvW where you can only play for your home server.
I feel we should at least TRY to play on one server but if the lag is too bad it would make sense to play separately, I'd rather play together though because I love you guys

Well, I am all set up; Tried to log in and it told me "Welcome to the Beta, but there is currently no Beta going on right now", or something to that effect
And I bought a Headset, so unfortunately your all going to have to listen to my gravelly voice.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.
Twenty two and a half hours from now it will begin.

I don't get this obsession with Asuras :S
They are horrible, pointy-teethed things.

So is the server transfer via gems only relevant to WvWvW? I'm a little confused, how do you play regular PvE and PvP on multiple servers? Can't you only be in one server at a time? Or can you switch servers at anytime but you use gems to designate a single server as your WvWvW team? And I guess you'd switch to that server whenever doing some WvWvW.
That being said I think I'm sticking with Eternal Grove anyway. I have IRL friends and family who I'll have a hard time convincing to play on a foreign server.

When you say for PvE and structured PvP you can play on any server does that mean I can freely switch servers without using gems? What is a home-server then? I thought when you make your account or something you just pick a server and that's that.
Also I apologize if these are incredibly stupid questions, I am an idiot afterall.

Your home-server is the server you pick when you're setting up your account, to change this you need to pay 1800 gems and you can't change home-servers more than once every 7 days.
Regardless of what your home-server is you can "guest" on other servers which allows you to play on any server for any game mode other than WvWvW with no real downside.
Thanks for the clarification. I guess settling on a server is only important for when we want to WvWvW but we can still do other stuff with guildmates regardless of where we are.
In that case I'll leave it up to you guys to decide a home server for us, but I do think a US server makes the most sense. If there were EU servers in the UK I'd be open to that but since they're all in Germany...

What did PC gamer say was bad about GW2?

Well that doesn't sound too bad. I guess they wanted a little more structure to the gameplay which is understandable. I guess we're lucky since we already have a decent sized guild out of the gate so the "Social Aspect" is somewhat taken care of.

Indeed, other such misquotes from the article were:
This is the sort of thing that is usually reserved for Endgame in other MMOs
And
I was dropped into a town being attacked by Centaurs. I was given no quest, no waypoint, and no text. I just saw villagers in need of help and rushed to their side. Other players did the same.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.
Perhaps we could have a poll to determine this? Is it possible to add a poll to a topic after it's been created?

Slarg.. I read the same review.. those where some of the reasons that raised my interest in the game. The dynamic quest system sounds like a awesome feature.
I also should note, i actually think the writer of that piece is wrong, I can do the same thing in WoW right now. 'The play and not talk to folks for an couple of hours' on my two back up servers. Hell on my main I barely talk to anyone other than guild mates.
With a guild in GW2 it'll feel exactly the same as WoW or any other MMO. Plus I gaurantee there will be folks like myself who will utilize 'say' plenty enough to tell other players nice job, or good fighting with ya, when doing things like taking out the big monster, or doing a good pvp defence.
