Guild Wars 2

This is something I’m pretty sure that even Anet is aware of but 3 EU servers are unnecessary and their overal population in WvW is pretty damn low. PvE is also not good on numbers.
Servers in last EU tier literally have no one playing WvW, there are some people, but it’s really really bad. Personaly I’m on Gunnar’s Hold, and our numbers are bad as well, not just in WvW but in PvE. Only areas that have players are Cursed Shore and Frostgorge Sound, other zones are not that good. But more on to the point of WvW. It makes for unhealthy playground, new players are not going to play WvW when no one is actually playing it. Not to say how free transfers are ruining low tiered servers both in WvW and PvE.

I would advise Anet to take action on this problem, you can even compare NA population on servers with EU, and you will see that NA has better population because it has good number of servers, while in EU there are 3 more than it should have.

the problem is bigger here, a bigger problem is nigh capping, and only merging the eu servers doesnt solve this issue atall

they need to redesign the concept to make it truly 24/7.

why to merge when you can transfer on your own? just do it and ehen Anet will close server for good.. when noone is there.

I am on Gunnar’s Hold and in the case of PvE, I have no Idea what you are talking about.
I play 5 characters of various levels so I play on a a lot of maps, I have never seen an empty map even in day time.
I run into players all the time and if you go into the starter zones and the cities you will see lots of new players that have just joined.
Even Divinity’s Reach have players running around at all times.

This sound to me like you have a problem with WvWvW- fine- but don’t drag PvE into the argument.
Gunnar’s Hold has a very nice, fairly mature community and I do not want to be merged with a server full of players that are the opposite…

ps Gunnar’s Hold is classed as high pop at least it was 3 days ago when I bought my daughter’s account.

Morrigan than we are playing two different games. Whenever I visiti Straits of Devastation Balthazar shrine is contested, Malchor’s Leap, Lyssa and Dwayna are always contested, and there isn’t enough players to free them…. Have you played Fields of Ruin, Iron Marches, Fireheart Rise…. If you did you will notice that there is really small number of people. I never said that there aren’t people and that maps are dead, I just said that we are low on population. Ginnar’s Hold is classed as high pop because there are a lot of characters bound on that server, but question is, how many of those accounts are actually active. Not much. I agree that we have good community, but do you honestly think that people on other servers are bad? I don’t.
And yes this is mostly becuase of WvW, which was my main point, if you followed map chat in WvW and LA, and some forums, you would know that a lot of players and guilds are leaving our server because of :
1. lack of players in WvW
2. lack of players in PvE

No, I did not make this up.
