You might have a slower rising learning curve but with no one to help you learn you might as well try for a degree in English Literature without knowing the English language.

Go for Nightfall. There will be lots of people playing it. Lots of new players learning the game like yourself and lots of veteran players helping along the way. The Nightfall Preview Event (about a Month ago) was a blast, everyone loved it. When I get Nightfall I will be playing it with a new character (have reserved a name for my new Ranger). I might bring my Tyrian characters over but I doubt it, since my NF Ranger will be my new #1.

Edits:

You wont miss out on anything really. The only 2 things you'll miss out on is the Assassin and the Ritualist. Personally I like playing the Assassin in PVP (Player VS Player) but not in PVE (Player VS Elements). The Ritualist, well let's just say I've never seen such a boring profession ever in any game. Going into Nightfall will be your best bet, since Anet (GuildWars makers) will be focusing there full attention on it.

I totally disagree, 2 weeks before nightfall preview, I bought two characters slots, 1 assasin in Cantha start, 1 ranger in Tyria start. Now, both have completed Factions first and after that I did Prophesies. Its not hard to get players, though it might be harder for a new player. Anyway, the new hero you get for completing Tyria and Canthan campaigns will encourage people to continue questing there...

PvE = player vs elements? haha

Ritualist was a great backup instead of a protection monk, at least before the nerf. And assasins are killer, but just hard to play like mesmer. Many people sadly dont understand.
And you talk about skipping the Crystal Desert as a good thing? Well that explains why so many people are running around with 170 attribute points in stead of the full 200....

Anyway, you will only need 1 player in your team that brings 3 heroes for you, so it doesnt matter that the outpost are not that crowded (which is totally untrue between 15:00 and 21:00 GMT, there are plenty ppl that time).

Items: Yes

The green weapons (weapons that bosses drop) in Tyria can not be found in Cantha or in the Nightfall realm (Elona??) The same goes for some rare-skin weapons that only drop in Tyria or Cantha. But there will be green weapons and rare-skin weapons that are just as good if not better, but with another skin.

Skills: No

All skills that are available in Tyria can be obtained in Cantha, and probably in Nightfall as well. The difference between Tyria and Cantha is that in Tyria you got new skills when completing a quest, in Cantha you had to buy most of the skills.

Elite-skills: You might miss a few

Most of the elilte-skills in Tyria can be obtained in Cantha and Probably in Nightfall as well, BUT, there are a few elite-skills in Tyria that are not available in Cantha, and the other way around. For instance I still haven´t found Spiteful Spirit in Cantha.
