With the restriction on free world transfers to once every 24 hours, this has become a big problem for me.

My group of Real Life friends play on Underworld, and I enjoy playing PvE/PvP/WvWvW with them. However, I also like to roleplay with some of my friends on Piken Square. If this were any other MMO, i’d have to make a choice between the two and live with it.

However you had free server transfers with no cooldown, which was a blessing from the heavens. It meant I could have my cake, and eat it and simply switch between serves at will. And with the promise of guesting coming soon, I would simply stay on Underworld and guest to Piken Square.

Now, I cant do that with the cooldown, it puts a real restriction on when I can go there etc. So my question is this. When is guesting coming, as we’ve had no news on that?

Yup… switched to a random server because I was always playing alone against the undead and it was super difficult. Every time I play, there’s no one around. I could play for 3 hours and only ever see one other person! And I was on a high server.

But now I can’t play with friends, so yes… I will switch back.. and I’ll have to play alone against undead all over again and go broke repairing my armor.

Yay, so much fun!

Enable guesting already please! If a friend and I are in the same map, and in a party, I should be able to “Join in”

The idea is that world transfers would NOT remain free, which is why when you try to transfer, there’s a price of 0 gems listed. Transferring will cost something before too long.

Your ability to switch back and forth wasn’t really a blessing from the heavens in that it was ALWAYS meant to be temporary.

It’s also been said that the price of the transfer will depend on the ranking of the server in WvW and its population.

^ You’re 100% correct
It’s also correct that since ANet hasn’t enabled guesting, we have the option to switch servers as needed. Now that we can only transfer once per day…

I transfer once because there’s no one playing in the zones I’m in.. and then… then when friends are online I can’t play with them because I still have x hours to go before I can switch back.

So once the 24 hours are up I switch… then friends go offline… and the zones I play in are empty again…

So no matter what, I have to play alone.

(I don’t WvW so I won’t discuss that side)

I’d love to be able to play on a hardcore WvWvW shard and guest onto roleplaying shards.
