Guild Wars 2

I had a quick question regarding the introduction of the new NA server Caulle’s Crossing. I made the switch today from Sorrow’s Furnace to Ferguson’s Crossing to try out a new server while it’s free, I was literally shocked at the lack of players. I opened up the WvW map and noticed Ferguson’s was annihilating the other two servers Darkhaven and Anvil Rock before the reset, something like 550k to 50k to 50k. That leads me to believe they have an even smaller population, considering the lack of players I saw on Ferguson’s.

Don’t get me wrong, maybe it was a bad week for those servers or maybe they don’t play much WvW. But I really was flabbergasted at the lack of players I ran into. Playing on Sorrow’s Furnace I see player’s everywhere, on Ferguson’s I saw maybe 5 player’s in Divinity’s Reach all below level 45. I saw nothing in chat but bot’s, and I tried to organize multiple groups for CoF and Arah with no response. I discussed this with some players in game who all agreed it was dead as a rock. It struck me as funny considering it showed Ferguson’s as a high server population, even if it that only accounts for the amount of accounts on that server.

I chalked today up as a bad server transfer decision and decided I would transfer back to Sorrow’s Furnace tomorrow when I could. Later that day while looking at the transfer list I noticed a new NA server, and this left me even more shocked. How could we possibly start a new server with the information we’re receiving from other players regarding the lack of people they see?

I think this is unfair to new players who just picked up the game honestly. If they see High server population and join that server yet no one is around, wouldn’t that cause them to kinda wonder about the game itself? This game is truly at its best when you can play with other people and feel like you’re apart of a community, but I can only imagine how disheartening it would be to log into that experience.

Can we get some info on what the server status is? How the populations are doing maybe? Plans for more servers? Plans for mergers? How will the addition of a new stand alone server affect WvW? Thanks for the help!

You know there is a difference between Ferguson’s Crossing and Caulle’s Crossing right? Caulle’s is the new server and Ferguson’s has been here for a while or even from the beginning. Caulle’s has a low pop rating because its new. Your post doesn’t make any sense at all.. You begin speaking of Caulle’s but then start talking about Ferguson’s.

Why do you think DH has a low population? It’s a fairly popular server with noone interested in WvW.

Actually Spicy, had you actually read my post you would understand I was talking about introducing a brand new server such as Caulle’s Crossing, when we have population issues on servers such as Ferguson’s Crossing. But thanks for your input, regardless if you read my original post or not, which I’m guessing no.

im on the Caullie’s Crossing but its no longer listed on teh server list and I cant leave the server either
