Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’m a returning player for GW2. I quit about 7 months ago and recently came back. When I returned I learned that my friends already transferred to BG and they invited me to do so as well. Instead of transferring my old account, I decided to buy a new one because I still had other friends in my original Home Server.

Long story short, I want to join my friends in BG but the server is always listed as “Full”. There were a couple of times when it was “Very High” but I get a network error after selecting BG. It’s been two weeks already but I still haven’t been able to join BG.

A thread from 2 years ago said that I won’t be able to join “Full” servers until someone else from that server transfers out. I’m not entirely sure if it’s still the case but that’s the reason why I’m posting here.

Can you guys give me tips on how to join the server? Given that I work during the night (I leave my house at 5pm EST and get home at around 8am EST), what hours would be good to try joining the server? I always try before leaving my house and when I get home.

Hmm, the usual advice is to make the attempt between 3 am and 6 am eastern (at least for those trying to join Tarnished Coast) … so you’re a bit hampered there. I hear also that you want to fully exit and restart when trying, and you want a little gap of time to avoid just resetting your position as it were. So try first thing in the morning, if it’s full, exit to desktop, pause a minute, try again, for as long as you can spare before heading to work. And keep trying.

Here’s hoping you make it.

Thanks for the tip, it’ll really come handy.
