Guild Wars 2

Since many of the North American servers are hitting their maximum capacity and many people have stopped playing since launch I think it would be a pretty reasonable idea to have some sort of server “off to the side” for accounts that have been inactive for 30+ days. This will allow people who are getting the game for Christmas to get in the server of their choice, instead of taking just whatever is open.

The “population” is calculated by how many players are currently logged in. If you notice, in the morning, some servers say “high” and not “full”

They’re measured depending on how many characters are actually registered on that specific server, many of which are just not playing.
