Servers are filling again.
1 2
I realize Anet must have done something to increase the cap or filtered it out or something, since the other week they all went from Full to Very High.
However, now they’re filling up again and I can’t get on the server my husband and Guild transferred to (which is Tarnished Coast). Neither can my sister-in-law.
Are these servers stuck at Full? Every time I look, it never moves from Full.
Any Tarnished Coast members know what times I should be aiming for to camp the World Select screen?
Server status is based on the number of accounts tied to a server, not the number of players actively online. Even if Tarnished Coast was completely empty of players it would still read full. Shame Arenanet chose to lie about their subscriber numbers like that. : /
Not sure if serious or trolling. anet doesn’t have subscribers, and the server status do base on number of players online.
One of the community managers admitted to it being based on number of accounts. Denying the truth won’t change it. It’s probably all Arenanet can do to prevent NCsoft from shutting the game down after it failed.
Show me a link until then you’re a troll.
That’s how they managed to open up so much space on the servers; not by upgrading them, but by cleaning out inactive accounts.
so there is no chance that i could enter a full world due to the fact that it has the maximum amount of accounts tied to it?
The best advice I could offer is to check the server status during a patch; I think that’s the most likely time they’ll clear accounts. But it may be some time yet before space like what was created recently will be available again.

The clearing of inactive accounts are probably done daily, that’s why free spots are open daily at non-prime hours. What they did before Winterdays was probably a combination of tightening the criteria for inactive accounts (maybe accounts not login in for last 2 months instead 3 months) and increasing the server ‘full’ threshold.
I think those ‘full’ servers are not going to open up anytime soon until after the holiday season is long over, many accounts that were previously ‘inactive’ are probably active now as people come back to check out the new stuff. I suspect servers like Tarnish Coast are probably way over their ‘full’ threshold and will take some time before enough inactive accounts are pruned to make room to drop below the limit.
