Guild Wars 2

I feel a bit sad these days logging onto Ehmry Bay and seeing no one around. seeing large group events going unfinished cause they are unsoloable and pass them by. no fractals no dungeons just wandering through new content and hope enough people are around to do it…. i can’t make people play nor do i wish to but i think we should stop lying to ourselves and change the rating for servers from how many accounts are registered to each world to how many are actually active on the servers cause i think you’d find that those highs and very highs will drop to lows and very lows. i think what the situation calls for is combining servers together cause in terms of pve there are not enough people to support some/most of the content which is sad imo. i would transfer to a way more active server like tarnished coast but those options are cut off from me and i bet there is plenty of space from dead accounts…

Just guest to Tarnished coast for your world bosses/other pve stuff. I’ve been doing it for the past few days and its been great. Doing world bosses with more than 15 people feels amazing. My home server is in denial of how bad things are. They like to say stuff like, ‘’oh it’s just quiet right now’’ or, ‘’You know people have lives outside of the game right?’’ Yeah 24/7 and its just quiet all the time right?

As for the server capacities, Tarnished coast and blackgate both drop from full population pretty often every week. Just check up on it now and then and you should be able to squeeze in.

thanks man that really helps out i might have to from now on sad that the game dropped in popularity but it will be nice to be part of a nice large server again

Actually, you can’t say the game has dropped in popularity…because people can guest. There’s plenty of people…what they’re not necessarily doing is roaming around the world.

See Anet keeps introducing this free content every two weeks. Most people have explored most of the world already but this new content comes with achievements which are time sensitive.

If you stay with the new content, then you see lots and lots of people. If you wander randomly around the world, you need to guest to busier servers, because most people are divided between PvP (which has become a bit more popular than it was), WvW, dungeons, fractals and of course all the new content.

There’s plenty of people playing.

makes sense. still i am part of one of the lower tier servers in terms of pop and i see a sizeable difference even in event areas

Vayne, a lot of times you fail to see the opposite side of your arguments. “You can’t say the game has dropped in popularity”, but you also can’t say that it hasn’t dropped in popularity. You can only speak from personal experience here, and what you experience, another player might not experience.

I play new content a lot, and in all seriousness, I see maybe 10 people there. There’s not even a freaking overflow server. I easily won the Sanctum Sprint because there were literally two people racing against me each time.

It’s to the point where I sincerely believe that the server status’s are not realistic. My server always says full. How can I believe that filthy lie when there aren’t enough people on my server to take a camp in WvW?

There aren’t enough people playing.

See what I did there? Until Anet fixes the server status’s so that they’re realistic, we won’t know the actual populations of the servers, so we can only guess.
