Guild Wars 2

Just wondering if anyone else knew what was going on with the server caps, as a group of friends and I were trying to join back up with our guild, but apparently nearly half the servers are apparently full now. I found it kind of odd, since exactly a week ago, a large number of servers would go into “Full”, but then during the odd times, it would be open. Now it seems most of them are now consistently full as of a couple days ago.

Admittedly, it’s kind of our fault because we waited for so long and never got things coordinated due to studies and such, but I gotta say, it’s depressing to really love playing the game, but then you realize you can’t join your guildies in the fields or be able to start up a dungeon group on your own because it’s neigh impossible to take back the gates of Orr with only 5 people. And that we can’t finish certain events because an escort quest just happens to go through an area where a few dozen bots are farming, which drastically increases the number and strength of the event monsters.

Anyhoo, just wondering if anyone noticed this or if there was an announcement I missed! Thanks everyone.

Nov 1st is the day that the servers stayed “Full”. Instead of changing at odd hours.

The reason is that people are staying put instead of jumping to the winning WvWvW server for a day and back.

Now they are afraid that they will never get back “home” so they don’t move.

That’s my take on that. I highly doubt they have lowered server caps.

I don’t think that the server transfers are the reason. Sure some guilds might be staying put, but there are those still transferring. I believe as others have said in other forums that the caps have been changed in order to stop transfers for 2 reasons: 1: wvw and 2: in prep for the free friends weekend.

I don’t know about lowering server caps, but I just started a new character in the human zone and it’s as full as I’ve seen it since launch. A few newbie questions is map chat too, so for sure some new players coming on board.

I have yet to see anything other than wild, baseless speculation about server caps changing.

No one has anything even approaching proof – they just guess… loudly and in as many threads as possible.
