Guild Wars 2

the zombie thread rises again!

So I’m getting back into GW2 again today. This weekend actually as I’ve it off this weekend.

did they ever implement anything into the game to see how many players are on the server you’re on?

No, but knowing your server is helpful; TC is a well-rounded server, for example, and there are people all over the place at all hours, in WvW and PvE. Heavy WvW servers will be more empty (aside from LA) but the queues may be extreme, etc.

There are quite a few very busy servers, and several very inactive ones, but it’s less that the game suffered massive decline, and more that the server pop caps expanded dramatically (several times) and a lot of folks on medium servers switched to top tier ones after the caps expanded. People never take this into account when looking at the emptier servers, but I definitely remember the reshufflings.

Enough people to make GW2 profitable and keep ArenaNet hiring more people. Nuff said.
