I am admittedly one of this game's harshest critics. But for ten bucks? bought. I'm going to give this game an honest try. I value community, economy over combat. So which server should I play on?
Are you sure you want me on yours? Lol

Economy is "real world" based, so there are 3 trading post in GW2: NA, EU and Asia. Basically it doesn't matter, the economy is the same in every server per region.
Then with megaserver, I don't know if it really matters any more which server you pick. In PvE at least, you will be matched with people as required so that the area you are in is always populated. It might matter more for WvW.
Yeah like boss said it doesn't really matter.
Just remember that if you create a char on the NA server you can't visit the Eu server and vice versa.
Other than that your primary server only matters if you want to do wvw.
I don't know about "good communities" - I'm playing on Far Shiverpeaks the unofficial server of the Scandinavians.
Crazy Vikings I say.
If you are not planning on playing WvW, it doesn't matter
If you plan on playing WvW, go for a server in top 6
Either way, what you should concern yourself with, is picking the right region. There is huge lag increase if you play on the wrong region. (for obvious reasons)
In Europe, Piken Square was the de facto RP server. After the megaserver its a bit blurry.
Either way, your choice is not final, you can transfer later.
I personally play on Gandara, those far shiverpeaks pricks give us run for our money in WvW *troll to the above poster* we occasionally get each other salty. Fun experience.
Lol so I told my one friend left that still plays this game that I was gonna pick it up for ten bucks, he literally said, "not worth it"
In gonna get it anyway haha! Screw him!
