Hi guys! I've had my eye on Wildstar ever since that first cinematic trailer got announced and had been following it all the way up to launch, but as a rule I tend to wait a few months before buying MMOs just so the kinks can be worked out and the population can solidify a bit.
 
However, when the game out, a friend of mine bought it and offered me a guest key so I thought I'd try it just for the short time I had, and of course I enjoyed it but my main concern was since we picked a server at random , I was skeptical about how the population would turn out in the long run. Anyway fast forwarding to last week, my fiance brought me the game as an early birthday present (wife material right there :D ) and as I expected, the server I picked felt pretty much deserted.
 
After doing a bit of research I found that the best server to pick for EU PvE is Ascendancy so I'm considering rerolling there tonight since I only got to about level 16 anyway, but my friend is now level 50 and plans on staying on this server. My question is how robust is Wildstar's cross server functionality? I know it exists but I don't know how far the extent of it goes, can my friend and I only do dungeons together, or can we play in other instances/zones?
Thanks guys :)

Battlegrounds. Adventures. Dungeons.
 
I'm still uncertain about arenas.

Either account friend them and /aw accountname to talk, or /w char@servername to talk.  e.g.  /w kirukai@mikros I like your ears.
 
Note that /aw account@servername will fail.  Some addons seem to do this.
