So I had this idea on another thread but I thought I’d bring it here so it’s less hidden:

There are currently numerous suggestions for underflow servers (sorta like an overflow except anyone on any server can go there if the world they are in is empty).
Guesting could be used by the community to create an underflow.
Someone just needs to made a webpage that has lists of servers and what areas they are hosting (we would need to somehow agree on these…).
Examples: If you want to explore Orr, go to any of these 3 servers. metrica, this server. Harathi, this server. etc.
Then that server will have high activity in that area.
Sorta like gw2lfg but with areas and servers instead of dungeons and parties.

Is there a cap on the number of people that can guest to a server? everyone that wants to do high activity pve could just all guest to the same server, make it a really active game everywhere.

And a suggestion to the creators of dragon timer websites:
I’m pretty sure dragons aren’t spawned at the same time on all servers. They would just need to create another option to list all the servers that currently have that dragon present. So if you want to kill the shatterer, you look up which server just started him and go there.

Interesting thought.
The thing is it would require cooperation from literally everybody. Most players will likely never find out about it and many that do may not wish to trouble themselves working out a guesting system for every odd zone they wish to drop by.

But if there’s no technical barrier to using guesting in that manner, it would certainly work for TC’s RP events if they wanted to avoid flooding the home server’s zone and avoid queues for people who arrive to specifically avoid the event.

gw2lfg only works because so many people use it. this would require no more coordination than that. it just has to be a single, popular, source that everyone uses. well, not even single. but all the sources do have to agree, for maximum effectiveness.
