Madamber – Level 80 Guardian
Guild Leader of TSL (www.shadowlegion.net)
Our server has done a fantastic job of taking on other servers during the day. We push the enemy constantly and we are doing a fantastic job of taking control of the map. We do lack a few for our night crew and are looking for some wo would like to join us to help push us up the server ladder to compete against the big dogs.
If you are an individual or a guild looking to move to a server, Tarnished Coast is a fantastic option.
If you are looking to make the move to a more competitive server, please send me a message whether you’re just a solo player or a guild that would like a better environment to play on.

Ironically Sea of Sorrows is looking for a day crew. Our server has done a fantastic job of taking on other servers during the ‘night’. We push the enemy constantly and we are doing a fantastic job of taking control of the map. We do lack a few for our day crew and are looking for some who would like to join us to help push us up the server ladder to compete against the big dogs.
If you are an individual or a guild looking to move to a server, Sea of Sorrows is a fantastic option.
If you are looking to make the move to a easy going server and want to have fun. Just do it. No strings attached.
Some Random Guy
SoS should move over to Tarnished Coast!
We’ve had some great battles against you guys and when it’s getting late for us and you guys are starting to come on and the numbers are even there have been some great battles.
If you just moved over to Tarnished Coast, we’d be WAAAAYYY up there in the standings.

I love this idea, Alodar. I’ve really enjoyed playing against SoS, and it does indeed seem that together, we’d have very strong round the clock coverage. Be still, my heart!
I believe one heavy-ANZAC guild, The Sovereign Gaming [TSG] moved recently from SoS to TC.
A few more of their brothers and sisters would be very welcome indeed. You can contact anyone in this thread to help smooth the way.
Log in at 6am – SoS owns everything … log off
Log in at 12pm, TC owns everything … log off
Pvp with normal people on GoM at 4-8pm, take many things from SoS and TC
Log off.
Repeat…

Normal people only play video games between 4 and 8 pm EST. Thanks for the heads up. Also I checked in at around 7:30 pm and TC was at 400+. Thanks for sharing your whine with us though, can never get enough of that sort of thing.
It seems that merging SoS and TC will indeed benefit everyone and turn us into a powerful unstoppable juggernaut.
I propose that everyone transfer to SoS instead because “Sea of Sorrows” sounds cooler.
“Tarnished Coast” sounds dirty.

This. I don’t know why, I feel dirty saying it.

Not even pretending that GoM takes a majority in points at any time. But we do take plenty of keeps and towers for the duration of our very specific and short windowed prime time. . Although they are quickly lost to SoS and TC players PvEing Red keep doors when nobody is defending. But yea pat yourselves on the back, you have an off hour ghost army which you have no affiliation with, that artificially inflates and maintains your “teams” points!

An off hour ghost army? Most of the pvpers on TC worth their salt rotate between day and night time play, or log on to contribute when they’re needed. It’s not a very large community, we all know each other, we all play together. What you call normal I’d call casual. We don’t have some faceless army of foreigners or whatever winning our battles for us, and the very suggestion is insulting. This isn’t exclusively an American east coast game, mmk? We have people from four different continents on TC, and we work hard to make up for our gaps in manpower. Sorry GoM can’t or won’t do so. Sour grapes.

Yeah, SoS and TC complements each other well, but for them to fight each other its awkwards lol
Well TSG was stealth capping some keeps to hold them off and Pain Train loves to lead zergs that dominate the enemy. I agree we need more late night players but if people join the late night WvW guilds we will be able to organize better. Not trying to super recruit but TSG and PINK are some of the best late night guilds on Tarnished.
I also concur that TC should join SoS.
Or we can both go to Kaineng.
As of right now SoS server population is “full”, so that’s problematic…

Is it? :-/
My guild left Sea of Sorrows and went to Tarnished Coast because SoS was absolute garbage, FUN were garbage players that ruined day pvp and many aussies want to be in aussie only guilds. SoS is also garbage at WvW with most of the talent leaving in the first few weeks. I say Tarnished should demolish Sea of Sorrows and leave them in the lower tier.
Why would anyone want to go to the loosing side? Working as intended.

… but this thread… recruiting entire servers? Hilarious!

For the record, we go by the server name “Toast”.
I’ve not seen a SoS player this entire match-up, but they still are keeping pace with us. That is a very, very weird feeling.
You may have trouble recruiting new players; TC has been consistently full every time I’ve checked over the past two days, even during American and Euro off hours.
Late at night during TC off hours the borderlands never have a queue. We could easily add several late night guilds and have room to spare. Right now during Pacific Standard prime time, TC has not been having any problems with servers. If we had a few late night guilds move over to TC, we’d shoot right up the ladder.
Transfers are still free. Don’t wait, it won’t last forever.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Defiance shot some people over to SoS today to take a look around and give a good fight during peak times lol. We made sure that we were on the same zone as the Defiance on TC. Good times.
The resulting conclusion was that Tarnished Coast has US and Euro Timezones covered and only needs Oceanic. SoS is lacking Euro and US which will leave gaps where they will lose everything even if they get US guilds.
The other conclusion was that even though we have 200 members and are very experienced we would need at least 3 200 person guilds to make a real difference because at US Times servers are expected to be queued everywhere or GTFO.
This left us to the conclusion that SoS should send some people to TC so that we can move up in the ranks as the only gap we have is what you can provide.

Plus we got them roleplayers, you know, we won’t be leaving Tarnished Toast at all. Honestly, it would benefit the WvWvW more if Sea of Sorrows combined with us. Then we could take the fight to Dragonbrand for sure!
We are already going to take Dragonbrand down this time.
Defiance [RUN] is also taking on Australian unguilded players who want to come to TC. Contact Akadios, Sharan, Xercisis, X Grog X, or Exodys in game.

What Maderas is trying to say is that the server is full, not the queues. I have a couple friends who can’t transfer over to TC, they’ve been trying day and night for a few days now, because it’s full. It’d be doubtful that an entire WvW guild, let alone 2 or 3 of them, would be able to come over at this point.

Sharan or Amoral, heck just use my tag to the left if you have to. . .
All Full servers dropped to High a few hours ago. If you want to transfer to a previously Full server, do it NOW!
I don’t think TC is ever listed as ‘FULL’ during the Aussie prime time hours. Thats when we are not. If they merged with us, we’d go compete with the top servers for sure.
Last night it was high for hours
Last night during Oceanic Peak hours there was no queue time for any of the borderlands and only about a 2 minutes wait for Eternal Battlegrounds and falling as NA players were heading to bed.
Could still fit some more Oceanic players looking for a very competitive server. Some quality players/guilds have already come over.
If you’re a late night player looking for a good server to call home come over to Tarnished Coast.
Tarnished coast need to come to Sea of Sorrows. Then we would destroy everyone.

The problem with TC coming to SoS is that SoS has like zero RP community and we RPers… love our RP. It helps us make light of such situations as the titanic grub moments we sometimes face.
b) TC is the unofficial roleplay server, and in general, has a lot of nice people that work together as a team. If you’re not nice, and are not willing to co-operate with each other, don’t come here. If you are, you’re more then welcome, hit up TSG or PINK, or any other WvW guild we have.
c) Isle of Janthir is the dominant oceanic WvW server. I suggest if you’re looking for hardcore oceanic WvW, transfer there. They beat SoS and are still holding their 2nd tier spot. SoS has now dropped to the 4th tier, and are losing their matchup vs the roleplay server.
TLDR; Don’t listen to Cayden.
Don’t get me wrong, TC badly needs more oceanics for WvW, but at the same time I don’t want the wrong sort of people to come in and ruin the great roleplay community (and community in general) here.
Well even if they did, it’d be happening while you’re asleep.
Actually to harken back to other games I know a lot of just straight PVP guilds often rolled on RP-PVP servers with no intention of RPing ever, but purely due to the fact that there’s more of a community on those servers.
While I naturally want TC to do well, I personally place having a fun and relaxing community like the Allied War Council provides over a win at all costs, transfer servers, exploit mechanics, spying group may (not directed at anyone in particular – just examples). Middleweight Champ if you will.
Zoula, that’s why TSG transferred to TC. Great community here, even though none of us roleplay (except for the odd guy in a bar while waiting for a WvW queue).
I’d rather lose with friends then win with people I dislike.
Tarnished Coast is still looking for some more players who play during our late nights. 11pm-7amPST. This would be perfect for Oceanic/Asian players who are looking for a VERY competitive server. Right now there are no queue times for your hours on borderlands.
With a few people/guilds this server would quickly shoot up the server ladder. There have been some very good people transfer already so our late night population is growing but we could use some more to compete against the top1-5 servers.
The server is working extremely well together.
If you have any questions, please send a message to me and I’d be happy to answer.

That’s how it starts. The odd guy in the bar. Soon it’ll be a couple people who go to the bar to ‘make fun’ of the roleplayers but get caught up in it.
After that, it is over. All will become roleplayers.
What I -love- about Tarnished Coast is the community.
We have an incredible group of people. Sure, we have our bad apples (burnt toast perhaps?) but they are few and far between. As a whole, the server population leans towards a great group of folk.
I think you capture the sentiment of Tarnished Coast really well with the comment of “I’d rather lose with friends then win with people I dislike.”

1000x this. Look at TC the past two weeks in WvW. When the server got coordinated and started to work together, we became unstoppable. There are no egos in WvW, just a server working together to win.
It is definitely something special here. Very rarely do you see an atmosphere like ours in an MMO.
I’m glad TSG came over here. If any other oceanic guilds are looking for a top notch server, where you can not only progress up the WvW rankings, but also have FUN in a zero drama atmosphere… check us out. You won’t regret it.
You guys describe TC perfectly. When leading as commander in borderlands it almost makes the job easy with how well people work together on this server. We have a great group of guilds and any that seemed to have an Ego seemed to have left (recently). There are always going to be a couple people here or there that feel they have all the answers but they are quickly silenced by the overwhelming majority of the server who choose to work together.
With a few groups from the oceanic time zone we would have a 24/7 army.
TSL is very happy that we chose this server. We have no intentions of ever leaving.
FOR THE TOAST!!!
One reason I always choose to play on RP servers is because the players on RP servers generally tend to be a slightly older demographic, and are typically more mature. This benefits me in several ways:
1) The odds of finding a guild whose members share similar schedules and responsibilities (i.e., work, family, a life outside the game) are higher
2) The overall server community tends to be friendlier and more helpful
3) People as a whole seem more intelligent (let’s face it, roleplaying is something that requires a fair bit of thought and creativity) and dedicated to their character(s).
4) The population is a bit more stable, since there’s a common bond among the server population that keeps them there long-term.
5) There’s a distinct reduction in the type of griefing you find on other servers (anything from abusive and foul language in public chat, to offensive names, and so forth).
This isn’t just true of GW2; it tends to hold true on most games I’ve played where there was a choice of a RP server, official or otherwise.
And those are just some of the many reasons TC is a great home. Not just for WvWvW, but overall.

There are quite a few guilds with a long history as well, which improves stability since their records show they have a higher chance of continuing through any growing pains the server might have.
excellent… (insert maniacal laughter here)
Spot on regarding the RP community. One of the reasons I rolled here. Also quite pleased at our progress so far. New ranking format shows how we’re seriously on the upswing:

I am proudly representing PiNK on Tarnished Coast server. In every other game I have ever played I have totally hated PvP. After running around with PiNK guildies, I have discovered how much fun and addictive WvW can be.
If anyone hasn’t tried WvW yet, I invite you to give it a shot. You might originally join the maps to finish out your map completion only to end up getting drawn into battle. Sometimes the most fun fights are the ones where you are outnumbered.
PiNK represent!
EAST COAST. WEST COAST. TARNISHED COAST IS BEST COAST.
Coming from an Aussie to.
But seriously, looks like we’ll be in the tier 3 matchup next week, versus my guess is Dragonbrand and Crystal Desert.
Jumping up 3 tiers in 3 weeks, hoping for a solid tier 2 spot soon next to Isle of Janthir.
As always, TSG welcomes any newcomers with welcome arms. We’ve got numerous Oceanics and Americans, and 1 Euro, but always looking for more soldiers to fight the good fight and defend our home in the Mists War.
