Questions concerning megaserver system
So as far as i understood, even in the big cities you will be with people who arent from your own server, am i correct?
If that is so, then how is guild recruitment suppose to work? Will people specialy have to advertise by adding a server name next to the advertisement?
Correct, not right in the start since for now megaserver will only be applied in the less populated maps, that exclude initial maps and cities.
First of all, advertise guild in map chat is annoying, a better solution to your 1st issue is just stop advertising in chat and look for the guild section here in the forum and in the forum of your server.
Furthermore, are the newcommers gona select their first server based on WvW results from now on, since the megaserver system connects everyone from every server in PVE?
Who knows? New commers can choose based on server name, friends that already plays the game, join the unofficial RP servers, there are so many variables.
Also if recruitment in big cities will be very difficult, since you cant get your advertisement to most of the people on your own server then wont this cause massive advertisement issues in WvW?
Advertise in WvW wont change at all since megaservers won’t be applied there, also advertise in WvW maps is even more annoying.

About your bashing on advertisement:
Yes it is annoying and you do understand that there are tons of people who dont visit GW2 forums, yet alone the recruitment sections?
Lets be fair, im doing a wild guess but in every game, atleast 25% people from the game population visits forums only. Even i come here very rarely and i most certainly dont look at recruitment sections when i was guildless few months ago.
As for the WvW advertisement:
Im saying that if you will have problems advertising in cities due to people from different servers being there. Then WvW would be the most obvious place to advertise since you can show your message to everyone from your server, am i right?

Probably much less than 25% come to the forums, but imo people that look in the forum are the ones that are worth to add to your guild, I found my current guild in the forums 4 years ago in the GW1 guru forum, and we never advertise in chat.

Even I personally not liking it … yes, advertise in WvW would be best option.

You assume ‘most of the people’ won’t be on their own server. Since that is one of the foremost criteria for grouping people when MegaServer becomes active, why would you think ‘most of the people’ won’t be on your server map?
Even if you happen to be elsewhere, why would it be especially difficult to add a word or abbreviation to your ‘advertisement’? (By the way, I find those almost as irksome as other spam.)
I don’t think there would be any more of problem with people from different servers in a place (we already have guesting), than there is spamming chat to a population that mostly already has chosen their Guild(s).
Still, if you feel it will be problematic, perhaps spam your Guild recruitment in the WvW lobby parts, and just use /say.
