I’ve been playing since headstart, and am really loving the game, but I’ve run into a pretty major roadblock: In order to play with my real-life friends whom I have talked into buying the game, I was forced off of the server I had played on since launch (thereby having to basically abandon my guild) to one of only 3 (at the time) non-full servers.
After a few weeks there (I won’t kitten talk the server, I’ll just say I didn’t like it there), all the servers magically opened up, and I took the opportunity to change servers again. Unfortunately, the server I chose is now one of only 3 “Full” servers. I’m stuck there (actually, I really don’t want to leave) for another few days, and now once again, my friends and I can’t play together.
Guesting would be a great solution to this problem, but like so many features that didn’t make the cut for launch, I haven’t heard beans about it since.
I am contemplating buying a second account just so I can play with my friends, which I really don’t mind doing (just a few less gems this month), but I know my luck. Guesting will likely be implemented 0.02 seconds after the purchase goes through.
So, if you’re someone else who has been caught in a server shuffle, please bump this so maybe we can get some solid answers. Thanks for reading!
