Guild Wars 2

Currently, it’s just luck of the draw if you are trying to transfer to a server that is highly populated. If you happen to check at just the right moment, you may luck out, and be able to switch.

I would love to see a queue system that allows you to queue for available space on a server, similar to the way you can queue for a WvW map.

Even when transfer costs are implemented, it could still work. Charge the fee for server transfer, even if the server of choice is full. Put the account into “queue” for that server. At anytime, a player could choose to ‘cancel’ their transfer request and get the gems back, at no charge.

This would also potentially open up the ability for the game to swap people between servers. For example, if I’m on Stormbluff and want to swap to Henge of Denravi, and there is someone on Henge who wants to swap to Stormbluff, the system could match that up and facilitate both transfers, whereas currently, one of those two would have to go to a different server, to open up those spaces.
