Guild Wars 2

tired of the incessant lag fest in the higher tiers? Looking for that magical place with no queues but still has plenty of activity in WvW? Look no further then Borlis Pass, a server that has sat smack in the middle tier of North America’s WvW presence without interruption for over a year.

What does BP offer?

~An active and engaged community~
Borlis Pass has a very active user community, that is not so large that people fall into the cacophony. Its in many respects like a small village or large extended family. Despite the occasional bouts of dysfunction that all families go through, Borlis Pass has been largely stable with a core cadre of guilds whose origins extend all the way back to the first months of GW2’s release. Before mega servers, Borlis Passes community also pioneered the Orrian temple rush on Sunday’s that became a major cross server event that took place every weekend on Borlis Pass. The server also puts on random events such as fashion contests and gift exchanges.

~Persistent presence with room for growth~
Borlis Pass is an East Coast North American server, and the only time qeues rear their head is during the prime time during EST from 7:00 to 10:00. Usually only on one map. During reset night, two maps tend to be completely queued. There is substantial room for growth in the Pacific Time period, as well as EU and Ocean. During off hours however, there are plenty of people still in WvW, with a couple active guilds during the Ocean time zone and players/commanders in the intervening period. Which leads too

~The most skilled militia outside Tier 2~
Borlis Passes random players are (Arguably, this is the internet) among the best in the game. Even at the highest fury of massive blob servers attacking Borlis Pass, zergs break like water over a stone upon the walls of our Garrison and Eternal Keep. Oftentimes in lop sided matchups you will see BP tenaciously clinging to Waypoints in its Borderlands and Eternal despite being hit by numbers far in excess to what is present defending. In the hands of our several militia commanders, the BP militia becomes a terrifying force capable of going toe to toe with almost any other servers militia and guilds.

We attribute Monkey Shinezz with making our militia among the best in the game. Firing arrowcarts to the battle cry of BROLIS NOOBS is a BP tradition akin to “We shall fight in the shade!” These are people that stuck with Borlis Pass going into Silver League knowing full well they would be fighting blob fests from the top tier of Silver. Tenacious really does not even begin to describe the BP militia.

~Constellation of guilds~
Borlis Pass has a large constellation of guilds ranging from small havoc teams to massive forces capable of forming independent zergs. Despite the pressures of leagues, many of these guilds remain on Borlis Pass even with the lure of bandwagoning pressure, and contribute greatly to Borlis Passes inherent stability as a server.

~Little Chance of a Serverwide meltdown~
Borlis Pass has hit snags on the road of life like many servers, and has endured two leagues already from a precarious position, getting through just fine. Borlis Pass has been between rank 11 and 13 persistently since March of 2013 with very little fluctuation up or down. The server as a rule does not actively recruit guilds, nor pays for or encourages mass transfers via gold rallies. This prevents artificial inflation that leads to a sudden collapse when these guilds inevitably leave. Those guilds and players that do find themselves on Borlis Pass are always welcomed into the community, a community that carries almost nationalistic fervor about itself and a superiority complex that drives our opponents crazy on occasion.

Esperanis pretty much summed up BP in a nut shell. I wanted to reiterate that BP has many different guilds for different play styles and many of the guilds have multi-rep. There is coordination and cooperation between the guilds on all the maps. It is nothing for whole guilds to jump maps just to defend Gari or SM if we have it, or two or three guilds working together to flip a single fortified and heavily defended objective.

Borlis is fun, in that every guild can get on a map it wants without much fuss, and move about without much fuss either. By now, the vast majority of our servers WvW presence has pretty much been integrated into the various WvW guilds, and blobs are a rare occurrence
for us.

Which is not to say we don’t have our moments, such as our Sunday Asura zerg.

And all Asura raids!

Fun community for wvw. Lots of different guilds that enjoy every aspect of wvw.

BP is a great server and lost of different varieties when it comes to guilds and people. :P

BP has so many fun guilds to run with. Everyone is really friendly and helpful to newer folks as well. They always find new ways to have fun in wvw. From the aggressive open field field fighters to the PPT fighters you will find what you are looking for here. Our placement in the rankings will result in more groups to fight than you have time for. There is action in almost every time zone.

Hi Tyria’s citizens! My IGN is Ascension Of War . I am one of the Officers of [RP], one of BP’s oceanic guilds. While I could offer you loot bags, so can many servers. What I can offer you is the fun and passionate rage back to your WvW that you all once had, but was lost. Those that say WvW isn’t fun anymore, Borlis welcomes you with open arms. There is just so much to learn from each other and RP has a lot to learn as well. Whether its from an individual transferring or an entire Guild. A lot of people forget that WvW is meant to be fun, not a chore. Join us in the battle field and let us make our enemies evolve into WXP Loot bags. If you have any questions, you can always reach any of us on the Borlis Pass website.
See you all soon.
