If this is your first Beta Weekend Event, you’ll have the opportunity to pick any available server, or home world, when you log in for the first time. If you choose a home world that is in a different region from where you purchased your game, you will be logged out for a short period of time while your account is moved to your new region. All of the characters you create will play on whichever home world you select, and they’ll fight for that world in our World vs. World format.
If you played in our first Beta Weekend Event, you will already have an existing home world. We’ll have a lot more players participating in this second beta, so you may want to change your home world so you can play together with your friends. Good news, everyone! World transfers will be free of charge on June 8 from Noon PDT (GMT -7) until 6PM PDT (GMT -7) on June 9. After this point, a world transfer will cost 1800 gems with a limit of one transfer every 7 days.
What if you need a server transfer after the free grace period expires?
Every beta player will get 500 free gems automatically, and you can get 2000 free gems by entering a valid credit card in the Gem Store. You will not be charged, but your credit card company might place a $1 hold charge on your account. Don’t worry; it’s not an actual charge!

Also, today on the official Guild Wars 2 Facebook page, ArenaNet has posted a video with David Campbell and Chris Whiteside showcasing the changes for this weekend's BWE.

Very impressive, consider WoW only had less than 50 servers when it was officially released. And this is the second BWE for GW2. I guess we are looking at over 300 fully poped worlds on release or even more.

Speaking of which, which servers did very well in PvP and had a good decent size of population, anyone know? No favoritism please..
I like servers that are highly populated so I can trade, have fun, meet people and play in a lively enviornment, however I never join the top two busiest servers. I am normally in the third busiest server. I don't like the empty servers either, the more personable ones. I like the healthy populated ones.

PVP servers were region wide as far as I remember reading, could be wrong though. Darkhaven and Fort Aspenwood were up there.

Our CZ/SK community was focused on server Riverside which is now "DE" which made us really "happy", so I hope that not all english speaking ppl leave, because for us moving is not really good option :-/ It would be nice if they could flag at least one server for each bigger community ( PL,RU,CZ/SK,...) :S
