Hey gang,
Decided to come back after about 3 years away ( sorry ) and good time to with double xp weekend.
Which server is populated ?
What class is likely to find more groups and can solo when groups not available ?
Any other input would be great
Waiting on Guild Wars 2

Welcome back!
When you enter the game and see the list of servers, the top server listed will be the last one you used. After that, they are ranked from least busy to most. (Meaning the most crowded are at the bottom.) Freedom is probably going to be last on the list, so busy that it may well experience lockouts this weekend. Virtue tends to be down there too.
I'd pick something in the middle personally, as I rarely have trouble finding teams anywhere. But if you straight up want the busiest server, then Freedom is the way to go.
All classes (Archetypes) are pretty welcome on teams. And most are good soloers. You should really pick something that suits your playstyle, after trying each one out for a couple of levels.
Ranked from most Solo to Most Team:
Hero
Scrapper
Blaster
Tanker
Controller
Warshade / Peacebringer (Epic level unlock)
Defender
Villain
Stalker
Mastermind
Brute
Dominator
Corruptor
Widow / Spider (Epic level unlock)
The more team-oriented characters tend to be about buffs and controls, with the more single-target damage-focused being soloers. So if you wanted to run the middle of the range you could pick a Blaster with more AOEs (Archery, Fire, Assault Rifle) or a Corruptor with offensive debuffs (Traps, Radiaton, Dark)
Again, don't sweat it too much. A good player is always useful. Whatever server you are on, you should look into joining their biggest Badge Channel (ask around) as it will help you find good teams for Task Forces / Strike Forces. (Also badge missions, farms, etc).
And once again, welcome back!
