Guild Wars 2

I just had several friends get the game, but unfortunately for me, I’m on a seemingly permanently full T1 WvW server. On one hand, I’d like to be able to get my friends into WvW, as it’s all I really play the game for anymore, but on the other hand, I’ve been on this server since launch day, really like it here, and really don’t want to leave.

I’ve checked the server status consistently for the past week, and even at random and extremely off-peak hours (if it matters, since I assume it might be based on accounts registered and not number of people currently playing), the only server that I ever see open up is TC, mine is always full.

Do they expand server capacity periodically, like I think they used to? Is there any point in waiting it out and seeing if it opens up in a week or two?

There are always plenty of servers with room – usually only one or two list as full.

I know it’s not ideal from a personal point of view, but it wouldnt be good for the game if they let everyone pile onto the same 2-3 servers.

I’m not saying it should be permanently available for anyone to join, but it would be nice if there was ever even a small window to join.

Because, like I said, otherwise, I’m faced with a tough decision. The WvW community on my server is part of the reason I even play the game to begin with, so I don’t want to have to abandon it.

The population cap has been raised a few times, but not very often. I would not expect it to happen again in the next couple of weeks. They may raise it before the next WvW Tournament, or they may not.

You will probably either have to forgo playing WvW with your friends, or make a move. /shrug

Sort of depends which you prefer, playing with those friends or playing with your WvW friends. While ANet has increased the server caps in the past, it’s been when they had several full servers. There is no telling if or when this will happen again but it’s not likely to be soon.

One other option, buy a second account and have it on a different server. When they aren’t on you can play on your original server.

maybe if they offered some incentive for people to move to other severs better then they did before maybe a few of them might open up. me for one wouldnt mind moving down but guild storage and stuff too much hassle to switch to a lower server along with the gems price hurts in my opinion

They’ll raise the caps eventually, be patient. If you don’t want to wait, transfer. Plenty of others servers with wvw communities just as good if not better.

Sort of an aside, when do you see TC open up? A guildie of mine just got her dad playing, but they never found an opening to get him on our server. Having some idea of a pattern of opening would help a lot.
