Hello I am on the GoM server and it has become quite apparent lately that the server is quite empty compared to most other servers and more and more people keep leaving. Just recently GoM had four wvw guilds transfer to another server and people continue to leave. I am aware that the server has a “high population” but that is only in the amount of accounts for the server, it doesn’t take into consideration the amount of players that have quit and may never be coming back or players who haven’t logged on for an incredibly long time such as five months. A large reason why so many people are leaving is because the unfair advantage in wvw and how imbalanced it is. There are players who go to servers simply because of the wvw server bonus buffs they receive who don’t even do wvw. Is there anything that anet is going to do to try to rebalance the server population or is the reality that they will continue to ignore it and just sit back as certain servers die. I think a good idea would be to move accounts that haven’t logged in for over a certain period of months to a holding server where they could rejoin a server once they start the game up again so that they are not taking up population space that others could be making use of. Obviously that wouldn’t fix the problem entirely but it may help. I know that a while back Anet allowed free transfers to the low populated servers to try and promote people heading over to them.
