Guild Wars 2

Have you ever “volunteered” to switch maps, and actually found your self on a better map?

Yes, that is the thing, the maps that have the option to volunteer, are the ones that are being refreshed/dead and need to be removed.

Maps that prompt the volunteer option are maps below a minimum number of players, and giving you the option to move out of the map allows the server to collapse that instance and reclaim system resources once the last person leaves.

Yes.

There is usually never a reason to not change map. The request to change turns up for a reason after all.

Earlier today during a dry top sandstorm…. i went from a tier1 to a t4.

Yes, I was once snowtruffel farming and stood at the very same spot but the mushroom popped up 4 times, I had 20 truffles after 20 mins.

But: Never click on that thing when you’re at a world boss – never !

I doubt that as it’s still an independend server.
