Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

Just wanted to chime in with another suggestion:

We all know that ANet are going to switch off FSTs at some point in the near future.

I’m proposing that they don’t do that.

Instead, leave FSTs in place but change the way the home server mechanic works. Allow players to move characters around to different servers on the fly – in the same way that we can now – but leave those characters attached to their original “Home Server”. Keep the “no buffs” system that exists currently, but allow players to queue up for WvW, whilst on another server, for their Home Server. When they leave WvW, transfer them back to the server they were on when the queued.

When on another server, place our server tag underneath our nameplates in game so that people can identify others from other servers.

I’d also like to see designated international servers, blank servers that anyone can transfer to so that they can play with an international group. These servers could be PvE only, with no “home” population. Simply blank servers.

I don’t do it, but I’d like to be able to server hop for PvE content. I play at crazy times in the AM, so my server is dead, and I’d like to be able to jump to another server with higher pops so that I can clear DEs and find groups. That said, I don’t really want to be removed from the sPvP and WvW for my home server (where lots of my irl and online friends play). Another reason I’d like to see this is because I have a number of friends playing on a US server that I’d like to be able to play with often, but again don’t wish to be removed from the sPvP and WvW rotation for my home server.

Hopefully this gets some notice, as I have a lot of questions about guesting. Maybe this idea is similar to guesting, however the sPvP and WvW thing I talk about is something that may need to be addressed?
