Guild Wars 2

Why don’t we have them still?
They are important, even more now with the WvW league.
I have a message for my server, where am I supposed to leave it?

Am I alone in this?

I don’t get the point, can’t you just post here specifying that it’s a message for your server?
That said, afaik many servers have their own web site and forum, but since I don’t know what’s your server, don’t know if it’s your case aswell.

P.S.
If you are asking for private server sections within the official forum, I think you can forget it ;-)

I will post it. Then, since this is the general section my thread will go downhill.
If I’m lucky 2 or 3 people will read it before its gone forever.

On a server dedicated sub-forum the activity will be much less and everyone will know that it is a hub for the gathering of that specific server population. For us to address issues that are specific to that server.

It would be like posting, I don’t know, PvP stuff here just because it is the general forum. Sure you can do it but then should they erase all other sub forums and only keep the general one?

I don’t know what kind of message you want to send to your server, but this forum already has a lot of sections and I’d be surprised that your message wouldn’t fit in anyone of them.

Most servers have their own private forums as well as their own Teamspeaks. I suggest going to WvW and ask for access.

… I just facepalmed. I really did.

Well, I remember seeing such a thread once before, and I’ll reply what I’ve replied back then.

As has already been said, most servers already have their own websites and forums. Also, most servers wouldn’t appreciate if everyone could read about WvW-tactics and organization and stuff. Then there are topics which probably just nobody from outside of that server would care about.

Then what’s the official forum for, you ask? Seriously? It’s for all the stuff that affects everyone. It’s for discussions about topics that are not restricted to a single server. It’s for interaction with the staff (feedback, questions, support, announcements etc.). It’s for talking about classes, the story, WvW-matchups or whatever. Apparently it’s even here to ask what it’s here for!

Oh well; I hope you understood now. Also, as already was said, go ask people on your server if they know if there’s already a server-forum around. Chances are, there is one and you just don’t know it yet for some reason.

So the community as a whole can gather to discuss, celebrate, laugh, debate, provide feedback, get update and bug information, report bugs, allow the community to help each other with general game play questions, bring up new ideas, allow the company to get an idea of player satisfaction, assistance with account and support tickets, provide a platform for company <—> player interaction…. just to name a few.

The reason we probably won’t see server specific sub-forums is because the servers compete against each other. It would be too easy for the opposing server to browse their competition’s forums to see when they are planning attacks and what strategies they are using.

Since these services (forums, teamspeak, etc…) are available elsewhere, there is no need to Arenanet to spend time/resources to develop and moderate them.

I completely agree. Server sub forums…even if it is just for recruitment. Id love to go to a sub forum where all the talk there is server specific..recruitment, organizing temple runs, etc etc.

But this topic will be moved to the suggestions thread or something
