I have a question, and some things have been making me think and worrying me.
As I’ve previously talked about, free server transfers emptied out my server and made it so barren that I can no longer do dungeons – not enough people to do group events to open up dungeons, no one around to do dungeons with, most areas are empty and the group events don’t ever get finished thus I can’t even get some skill points or points of interest and such – let’s not even talk about how pointless WvW got.
I see more and more people every day from my server switching out to other better servers with a better WvW life, I’m having less people to play with more and more. The last few people I used to play with in my server are planning on switching out this week because they simply cannot open up some dungeons and simply cannot find people to do dungeons with them, so this leaves me with a problem.
My server has gotten so empty and lifeless that I’m left nearly alone everywhere I go, and I’m finally thinking about also being one of the ones to switch to a better server, however… when switching everything you’ve accomplished for your guild gets tossed away. If I switch, my guild in the new server would have to start from scratch, we’d have no upgrades – nothing at all. We’ve come a long way from slowly building up the guild to have to throw all of our hard work out the window and start from nothing again.
It’s a rather small guild with about 20 people (mostly real life and close friends), and not everyone would want to switch or be able to switch right away and I have a lot of fun playing with all of them and being part of the guild. So if we switch we would have to slowly build everything up from scratch again, something not so easily doable with a smaller guild – and this saddens me.
So I was just wondering if Anet had any sort of plans about this, I don’t want to have to break up my guild because of this and I really don’t wanna have to start from scratch to get all my guild upgrades again. I wish the server wasn’t so broken that people didn’t have to switch.
My question, or more of a suggestion or comment really, is – with all the people being almost forced to switch servers and thus being forced to simply throw away everything they worked so hard to achieve in their guilds, wouldn’t it be a good idea to be able to either “transfer” your guild with you? As in take the upgrades from one server and bring to another? Or maybe make your guild’s upgrades and bonuses be for all servers? I dunno, it’s just really heartbreaking to have to start working so hard again to get everything we already have.
Currently the guild is the only thing keeping me from simply picking up my things and leaving this server.
