Q:

I would like to know if someone from Anet can answer this.
I’ve been on Gunnar’s Hold since start of the game, and lately I noticed a lack of players, even in Lions Arch. WvWvW is also lacking a lot of players it used to have. I know for a fact that a lot of players and guild transfered to other servers, becuase it’s getting hard to find a group for dungeon and/or fractals, especially beacuse of the fractal levels that segmented players in a very bad way. Also a lot of zones are low on population as well. It kind a defeats the purpose of DE and Group Events if there isn’t enough players.

My question is, are you planing on merging servers?

Because currently EU has 3 more server than NA. I really think that those 3 server, that were added after the release, are unnecessary at this point. It’s better to have overflow in LA, than not having people to play with at all.

I wish there were only overflow servers so we could see more people in maps/cities. There have been many suggestions on just making every map overflow so the player base isn’t so separated, not sure they are looking at that possibility.

I have been in my server since a week after release (Sanctum Of Rall) and I’ve seen an increase in the amount of people in LA because of fractals. Usually when a server is bad at wvw they struggle to keep players in that server because transfers are free, not sure that’s the case in Gunnar’s Hold though.

Lack of players in LA? What? We get LA overflows all the time. The fractal levels make it hard to get a group of the right level yes, but there’s no shortage of LFG spam for them. I’ve also been pugging non-fractal dungeons almost every day.

As for WvW, we’ve dropped in rankings a lot lately and it looks like we’re going to keep going down. We lost some big pvp guilds to higher tier servers and then KISS moved to a US server. KISS have now returned however. People aren’t bothering with WvW so much at the moment because the serious guilds are gone and we just get roflstomped.
