Guild Wars 2

I have been trying to recruit for my guild that i have just created that focuses on wvw and causing havoc across all borderlands. I am on the SoR server. Well i go to areas to recruit and all i get are people from OTHER SERVERS! This is complete bull.

I try to recruit in wvw but most people in wvw already have a guild they run wvw with so it seems pointless to try to recruit them. The ones without tags often just ignore my whispers about my guild and do their own thing. Which is fine since that’s how they choose to play.

How am i supposed to recruit like minded individuals on the SoR server if all the maps i try to recruit on are just full of people from every other server. It’s not like i can ask them to either delete all their characters to do a free server transfer or pay a ridiculous 1800 gems for a server transfer! (Which by the way is a bit too high!)

Is there any solutions to recruiting people from my own server so that i can create a wvw guild? Because this megaserver is utter bull. It takes away from server pride and fighting for your server. I wish it was never implemented.

For what its worth, I used to love guesting to SoR to do trains etc, They had the best FG train going…

only problem with guesting is you can’t guest into wvw or this wouldn’t be an issue for me. :/

I agree with the OP on this +1. The megaserver system took away our individual servers identities.

You might try mentioning your server when you advertise. That way you will, perhaps, weed out those that aren’t interested in changing servers. Or try the Guild Recruitment pages, or the SoR website.

Good luck.

I’ve been on an extended break, I was playing 4-5 hours a day for about 18 months and just got bored and didn’t like the way the game was heading, I have only in the last week or so log back in as AA closed beta had finished and I was bored…

Apparently its not even worth guesting with the megaservers for PVE as you more often than not even up back on the same server?

i do mention my server when advertising for guilds now since this new megaserver bull crap but all the servers seem to be filled up with other servers! There is no more server identity and server pride. It’s become just one big server except in wvw. I HATE this system with a passion.

well i managed to find ONE single player on the SoR server outside of wvw. This needs to be fixed.

That’s weird. I found a few SOR while advertising. I think I got some of them to transfer :’)

It would be nice if the 5 cities would be excluded from mega-server and would each have an individual flair.

• an international city (all servers randomly mixed up), e.g. to go to world-bosses, dungeons, fractals
• a server-specific city where all and only people from your server are assigned, it must have portals to the 4 WvW-maps
• a color-specific city, where are servers with this color are mixed, it must have a portal to EotM
• a language specific city, if you go there you can be 100% sure to meat only people speaking your language (i.e. only germans, only french, only spanish, other languages would be nice as well, but this would need a language option beside server-language differentiation).

We just need server chat tab….. no matter wich distric player is every one from same server can talk there.

EDIT: Also a option on right mouse click on the player name to travel to his kitten^2 overflow.

Edit2: Make a wallbord where players can interact or NPC,(something like the TP interface) and search for guilds from their home world that are recruiting.

Careful, there is a good reason why there is no world or server chat: (gold) spammer would fill it 24/7.

However, a possibility would be you can only send *text blocks provided by ANet" into such a chat, e.g.:

• “guild <guild name> recruiting on server <server>! Contact <player>”’, such a message-item could be produced by a guild for influence, such that you could build and use one every few hours.
• “WvW team on map <map> need support for <objective-code> <15 letter text>”, a message buyable for badges of honor by a player every few hours.
• …

Try reading this thread. It might help you out, or give you some ideas as to how you can recruit.

CalamityO that thread is FILLED with great ideas. I have that tab open permanently until i am done browsing through it and picking ideas that best suit my guild. Thank you so much.

They need to add a /server chat so message only shows up for YOUR homeworld members in the zone…..

When you PvE, should it really matter what arbitrary virtual machine the game has assigned you to? I’m glad that ANet has done away with “servers” outside of WvW and don’t want to see that positive changed minimized by bringing it back even for cities.

Of course the OP is correct, that recruiting people who are already on the same server is harder (while recruiting off-worlders has become easier). And I would support ideas that address this issue, without bypassing megaserver.

I’d like to see ANet update the LFG tool to also allow guild and server recruitment, both Looking For Players and Looking for Guild (or World). This way, instead of people needing to spam the same message (and interrupt whatever chats are taking place), those who are interested can search on their own.

It also keeps the best parts of a serverless PvE.
