Guild Wars 2

Hello guys

If you feel tired of constant queues, lag fest and never ended zergs think about trip to EU.

Our server Piken Square is one of strongest EU servers, homeland to many WvW dedicated guilds. Our coverage at day and primetime is decent and only night crew need some more hands.

What you will face playing EU:

- Night time crews from other servers, depend from enemy is 20-60 players on night shift which make fight interesting as your guild group can have challenging fight without queue, lags and free hand for roam between maps as you will.
- If you guys are up for WXP there is so many keep/towers and other objectives which can be conquer and enemy defense will be on fair level so if you attack enemy position you will not see 100 man zerg jump from behind corner to stomp on you.
- There is no lag / latency issues if you play from NA in EU and other way around!

We looking also for individual players and roaming teams, feel free to join our growing nighttime crew, roam, gank and hunt down our enemy.

Night time fights at EU is more about small scale and skills, good fights against another roaming groups and enemy squads. Not zerging! EU is more about open field fights and lots GvG going on here.

So if you fan of good WvW join us!

As server we offer:

Public Team Speak
Support form ours Day / Prime Time Teams
Many players on night shift which will be happy to give you hand
Nice and strong WvW Alliance

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Here are few comments from the dear enemy:

Piken is a guild-oriented server. They have some very good guilds well organized guilds. In fact some of their best guilds, like GH, used play on our server, Desolation. Sadly Desolation doesn’t have any really big hard hard core WvWvW at the moment. Our guilds can usually muster max 20-25, generally just around 15 or so for a raid.

I now have a brand new computer, which can run this game 60 fps even when there is well over 100 players on the screen. There is still some lag, especially when Piken runs in a server wide blob. Some of your most prominent guilds sometimes seem to run with a visible commander tag and that of course attracts a lot of PuGs. I am not blaming you, but of course there is lag if 50+ Piken and 40+ Deso are clashing in same spot. Luckily these mega lag moments are not that common.

Currently Desolation is leading against Piken about 40000 in points and we will win this week for sure. Just like the above poster wrote it is a fact that Piken Square is losing points at night and gaining them at prime time (evening time in EU). But that it is not because Piken would magically have better players than the all the other servers.

Desolation is generally “enjoying” the outnumbered “buff” in the morning and often during day time as well, even at Eternal Battlegrounds. We have a night team, but in the morning our players are deadly tired from staying up so late. So our server has similar coverage issues, just that our weak hours are different. Same thing yesterday evening at prime time we had outnumbered “buff” on us when our guild was raiding. While our enemy Piken outnumbers us on those hours, of course they are scoring more points. On the positive note, we also don’t have queue. ;-)

I would estimate that Desolation and Piken have roughly as good player material, which is high indeed. Piken has more better hard core guild teams and bigger guild teams than us. Desolation has better small scale fighters and solo roamers, because we have needed to adapt to playing seriously outnumbered (e.g. 2-5 against 10-30 enemy), constantly pitted against Visunah (EU rank 1). Desolation (EU rank 6, now rising to rank 5) has been facing Visunah more often than any other server.

In general WvWvW in EU is less about zergs and points than NA, more about open field battles, fun and tactics.

Note: This are just my personal opinion, based on my limited view (I cannot see what is happening on all maps all the time). This is not the official Desolation opinion.

I wish you the best of luck in recruiting. And also fighting against you again!

one thing for any guild that looks to transfer:

Piken is only medium population so the transfer costs are way less then to a already high pop server.
for ex joining desolation has a cost of 1800 gems (~60g atm) to piken it would be 500 gems (~15g )

It’s for the best you edit FG’s name out of there Deniara Devious.

Thank you for the kind words however <3

Thanks Jue! I edited already the post.

It is of course also true that Deso has higher transfer costs. I am right now listening to Deso weekly server wide meeting in TeamSpeak. We have decided NOT to officially recruit outside our own server. We are however NOT against if some guilds want to move to Desolation. We will welcome them. Many of our guild leaders are not that keen to rise up EU rank #1 as that would mean a lot of fights against Visunah (which might happen anycase).

Desolation lost over 10 guilds and around 1000-2000 WvWvW players in couple of months period in Spring 2013. Any other server would have sunk like stone in a similar situation. Luckily we can tap into our own huge pve (and pretty large pvp) population. We have had only small guilds transfer to us after the mass exodus. Majority of our WvWvW players are Desolation born and raised. Now our rating has been going up for 6 weeks in a row, so I think Desolation is doing reasonably well.

I honestly wish you luck with the recruiting process!

Just to add Piken Square was never points orientated server and don’t think will become like that. Points getting is always side effect for ours guilds raids. We enjoy open field fights over siege, points keeping etc.

We are happy balancing between t3-2 and with new matchup system PS getting various enemies each week.

PS is not attending to race for T1 “glory” but is about build solid structure so we can be competetive server doesn’t matter what time of day or night.

Ours small night time team need some hands so hopefully with arrive new NA guild all of you can have a lot of fun ^^

If you see this attached Income evolution graph, clearly is there how PS lost current matchup, Day and Primetime work well but night time need some more love.

I have played nights on Piken since the start and can say in my opinion we have one of the better night crews going. We are always outmanned but we make sure we use tactics to overcome the odds. Usually the servers we face will outnumber us 4v1, depending on the server it can be much more(for example this week we average around 15 whereas Deso average around 80). The Piken night crew has learnt how to slow the zergs progress and even do some major ninja capping, by superior communication and scouting.

Can vouch for Piken being an excellent server. Don’t worry about EU primetime slacking… been on the receiving end of that… it hurts alot. Lets just say, They don’t even use Butter.

But yea, last I knew was Piken was a very guild based server with a friendly community! (I played there too for a bit and they were very accepting )

I knew Piken got [Dsun] but what other guilds joined you guys? Purely curiosity btw.

Only DeSun, they got space over HoB which move recently. Please notice ours Prime time is full so PS don’t recruiting Prime Time guilds atm only night crew

+1 prime time is full with very long que. We are not looking for any more individuals who run around wvw in prime time. We are a guild oriented server and individuals running on prime time at any wvw map just increase the que time for our guild raiders leaving them disappointed.

However for oceanic and NA prime time we are looking for more recruits as we have some numbers running around in off peak hours and you might be a very good addition to it.

Thank you for your cooperation.
