Guild Wars 2

Will the people we invite for the free trial this weekend be able to play on our server? If the server is full what will happen?

I was wondering this as well. . . any news?

When is guesting system be able to fully applied?

With server being filled up and transferring to another server is not a viable solution due to being a guild leader and many other reasons, how is ANet going to tackle this Lost Shore event that comes along with “Invite a Friend”?

Im very curious.

Yeah we realized this last night. My friend is on TC, I’m on CD, we’ve both tried for 2 weeks now to switch either way, but not once has either been HIGH in that time. We both have another friend to invite, but decided not to bother since it would be a nightmare of transferring to nowhere away from guilds, or even dealing with overflows again. It was a nice thought, but the huge bugs and issues with the game are still causing havoc.

Doesn’t seem to be. With all the threads about “I can’t get into server X to play with people”, it seems like a concern that needs to be dealt with.

Of course if they do let folks into full servers this way, there will be complaining.

I agree – I am trying to add a 4th family member to GW2 and we cant get her onto same server as the rest of us (Tarnished Coast) with a new licence – so I dont know how it will be feasible to play with a friend unless free / friend invites will take priority over new paid customers ? Very curious on how this will be handled. Right now I am just having to keep watching / hoping for a way to get eldest daughter into same server as rest of the family

Here’s the problems I see:

1) What’s the point of having a guest pass if you can’t play with your friends? Folks are going to want to play with the people that invited them.
2) People aren’t going to want to transfer to a lower population server for a week. I’m in a friends and family guild and a wvw guild. I like both way too much to even consider transferring. Thus the solution of “Go some place else” won’t work for the majority.
3) IF the guest passes let you get on full servers, there’s going to be tons of whining and complaints because the paying customers can’t.

It took me a week or so to think of this, but yeah, I don’t see a win here at all. I gave out some passes and I want to play with those people. However, I see point 3 as well. I’m very curious what the solution here is for Anet.

the devs said in a post that you will be able to play with your mates..
