i want to create character in black gate server but it’s always full im waiting its been 3 days and still hoping to enter in black gate server help me please.. thanks.
If a server is full then a person who wants to transfer to it either has to wait for it to drop to very high due to population fluctuations from people transfering out or wait till ANet increases the capacity, which they do periodically when a number of servers are full.
If you are not going specifically for WvW you have no need to join Blackgate, since you can still play with people in the same region in PvE from any server.

There hasn’t actually been any conclusive proof that’s how the system works. (Infact the very notion that some servers do ‘server blackouts’ by logging off to let people transfer in, and it works, goes against that theory.) ArenaNet are very unlikely to ever divulge the information, either, because of how much gems are spent on server transfers.
im in Australia its 11:05pm here so what time should i try to log in? thanks for your concern
Australia time of 11:05pm would be 5:05am Pacific Time. Thus, you would want to try all evening your (Australia) time, say from 6pm to 11pm. This may or may not work. Again, unless you are transferring for the specific reason of wanting to play WvW with your friends, it does not matter which server you create characters on, as long as the servers are in the same region (NA or EU).

There’s no way for him to join a server listed as “full”, although in the future that might be possible with the guesting process.
For now, you have to wait until the population drops from “full” to “very high” or “high”, at which point he can transfer to your server (the population shifts during the course of the day), or you will have to both choose a world with a lower population to play together. Snip

They hav’nt, actually, I have checked. The only actual post where a red post actually talks about it was a community coordinator (not someone on the technical team), and even then they went into barely any detail. Most of the ‘answers’ are peoples speculation.
Also the theory of people always transferring off a server in off hours doesn’t actually make any sense.

Lol. That’s Gaile Gray in that red post. She has been with guild wars back when it was Guild Wars 1. The Community Coordinator is her current post. She has had other positions previous to that, most recently before this was in Account and Technical Support. While she won’t know everything, If she says something is true, there is very good reason to believe her.

No, the red post i’m talking about wasn’t her. And there have not been any other red posts actually talking about.

And also it isn’t a sufficient answer, because it doesn’t actually say anything. People suddenly transferring off a server in off hours every single day doesn’t make sense, and “server blackouts” work.
CC Eva was saying that a full server is full because the numbers in that server have reached the cap. It says nothing about whether or not people can transfer out and the server drop from Full to Very high.
I have a quote from the then Head of Account and Technical Support agreeing with the statement “There’s no way for him to join a server listed as “full”, although in the future that might be possible with the guesting process. For now, you have to wait until the population drops from “full” to “very high” or “high”, at which point he can transfer to your server (the population shifts during the course of the day), or you will have to both choose a world with a lower population to play together.”
If you have a post backing up what you are saying about server blackouts, please show it.

And yet your above post doesn’t say anything about what the cause of it being full is. And “The population shifts during the course of the day” goes directly against the theory some seem to believe as fact. In fact none of the posts you have quoted say what the actual cause of it is, only that they have to wait until population drops, which could actually be referring to active population.
As for server blackouts, it’s something I have personally experienced (as I used to do a lot of guild WvW.)

The cause of it being full is that the server cap was reached. So many people made it their home server that no one else is allowed to join until someone leaves and a position opens up.
Some believe something is a fact doesn’t mean it’s fact. Your personal experiences doesn’t mean it’s fact.
If you have anything more than random speculation, post it.

No one says it’s either/or. A full server is a combination of people who have made accounts there and who have transferred there.

There is no evidence to your theory. And thus, my statements stay the same. Which is what I have been talking about this entire time, that there is no evidence for it. So, discussion closed?
Edit: Posts that didn’t support your theory. A theory that was brought upon by one forum members misinterpretation, the same as what you’re doing. While my theory is based upon how every other mmo server works, even ones owned by NCsoft, who also own ArenaNet

And none for yours. (At least I had posts to back me up, and you didn’t)
If you want to get onto Blackgate for WvW, you have some work to do, as has been said before. The same would apply for all 3 Tier 1 servers (BG, TC, JQ).
If you want to get in to play on the server with a friend but don’t care about WvW, you can do that on any server in your region (NA or EU).
If you want to WvW and your friend is agreeable to a transfer, go to a lower pop server. I’ve heard that T2 and T3 are fun.
