I was leveling my second character lately, and I’ve been going through the same areas I’ve been on my first one (Human). While it’s all the same, except that it seems events aren’t as frequent as they were when I first leveled, I think the enjoyment of my first character was… more fun.

I played during the 3 day headstart access, when Queensdale had hours of waiting in the overflow servers. And they were FULL. Events had easily 20+ and were a massive zergfest. People were everywhere.
Though I can’t say if that was the intended way the game was designed to be played, I really enjoyed these events.

Since now the population is scattered across all areas, and I’ve read that overflow servers were already cross-servers, I’m suggesting to bring back these cross-server areas.

Instead of having the “Queensdale” server, send all players to a “Queensdale” server which holds players from all Worlds. This way, Queensdale would always be full (pretty much like Overflows). And to address overpopulation, call them… Queensdale #1. And Queensdale #2. And so on, pretty much like Overflows works.
If you are in a party with someone, you can click to queue to join their specific server.

I think with this all areas would feel pretty much full all the time, and the concept of “Worlds” would still be there for WvW and their bonuses.

I think it’d be more fun like this, what do you say?

I like it, that’s basically how gw1 worked and it was fantastic, it would prob take loads of work tho and it might be stressful on servers still, they chose not to do it that way for some reason and it’s prob a big one

“it would prob take loads of work tho and it might be stressful on servers”

Not really considering the character database is shared for all servers, this is why could easily server hop before they put a 24 hour lockout on it. The only thing that they would have to do is merge the guild influence and unlocks.

Fun fact:

Some of us purposefully choose less populous servers so that Queensdale isn’t full.

Funny that.
