Guild War 2 has by far the worse instancing "feature" I've ever experienced in an MMO. How do I change my instance to be with my friends?

thats not what he is asking. They are on the same server but different instanced zones
I also had the same problem. My friends was in the Queensdale-whats-its-name and i were in Queensdale-whats-its-name overflow. Same group, but couldnt see eachoter. And i for one found no way to change instances. Something they need to sort out fast
What's hard to understand about how that worked? You were in the overflow, and he was in the main. You play with other people in the overflow, and he plays with the people in the main. When the queue passes and you're given the choice enter the main, you do so. Voila, you're playing with your friends.
Worked exactly like this for me, no issues.

This. They need to get rid of "overflow" altogether and just make it district based, like Guild Wars 1 was. No idea why they would get rid of it in favor of this overflow crap.
Another question: Can friends quest with you on your main story quest line? or is that purely solo?
The problem here is that his friend is probably in the overflow server while he is on the normal server. There are no "channels" for GW2.
An Anet employee said in game that a way for you and your friends to end up in the same server is to enter a major city (Hoelbrek, Black Citadel, Divinity's Reach) and then exit together. Haven't tried, but might be worth giving a shot
This will be an issue for the betas and probably an issue at launch. Short of creating a ton of servers, many of which will need to be merged once the population stabilizes, there's not much they can do. If your friends are in the overload server, they'd be in a queue in any other MMO out there right now, so you wouldn't be able to play with them anyways : /
They need to add an option to either go from normal to overflow or to go from overflow to normal if you're in a group with someone in normal.
You guys also might want to check your homeworlds. Playing with my man right now, he randomly got sent to a different homeworld.

Nope -- it's been a huge issue all night.

You can also end up on 2 different overflow servers separating you from your friends. I don't think it will be a issue going into launch.. It'd be a huge mistake if so.
This. We played the log in/log out game about 20 times before we ended up in the same "instance". We had to do this on like 6 or 7 different occasions, on a few different characters. They just need to make it so you can either automatically zone in together, or make it so you right click and "go to" the same zone. Something.
