Guild Wars 2

From what I heard and it sonuds somewhat accurate but currently when looking at the map, we only have about 60% unlocked. Many zones are already barren because of this. Guesting can slightly fix this, I really want the game to have more zones added, and im pretty positive we will see this with magus falls or maguuma wastes. However, Anet pretty much realizes this spreads people out creating the illusions that the game has a low population. AND for the 10000000th time, I will add to the list of people who suggest they add UNDERFLOW SERVERS. This will pretty much save arena net and the game, single-handedly, and conquer the illusion of low population in a gigantic world(when more maps are added).

Apparently 400,000 people play this, and looking at the number I can easily imagine that summing together all the servers playing in a certain zone = plenty of people for an underflow map. I dont think ive ever heard arenanet comment on this and id really like to know. I hope they have or can obtain the technology for this because I believe it could absolutely drastically change the game and heal the problems that are too come with new maps.

i think people do not know what underflow server means.

lets call the “underflow” server “main” instead.
and our home server will be known as “home” so …

in the options menu, we have new check boxes

server priority?
- main (all of NA together OR all of EU together)
- home (sea of sorrows, tarnished coast, etc
- ask me every time (pop up window asking to enter main or home

perhaps i will create a new topic for this with an appropriate title.

I didnt make clear what it is for people who dont know. Its where zones that are underpopulated are combined with people in the same zone from other servers that currently have that zone overpopulated. So say 5 people are in some zone in about 6 different servers or more. Combined them all into one underflow servers so now 30 people in that server.

Oh please yes.
Just imagine running around with more players, that feel you have when you open a mmo for the first time, and you see a starter area full of life.
Now in gw2 not even the starter areas have much life. You’ll be doing all events alone.
And it would be perfect if we even had the choice between our own deserted server map or a underflow with life.

If zones that aren’t maxed always send their players to this ‘underflow’, how would a server’s original map ever get filled?

Unless it was voluntary, I don’t see how it would work.
