Guild Wars 2

So it was said a number of times by arenanet that server choosing won’t affect you if you want to play in PvE with friends on other servers. It’s been almost 4 months now and this is not happening… and I can’t find anything recent about it. Has there been any announcements anywhere about this? Has it been scrapped for example? Has anything been said about why we didn’t have this at launch?

Thanks.

It’s definitely happening at some point, since ANet has continued to promise it. However, there is nothing concrete about when. Hopefully before too long, yes? :]

I hope so. With my awesome guild on one server and a group of friends on another… It’s depressing some what. Although I guess I should just appreciate that we have the option to switch servers at all.. heck I can’t even remember the last game I played where I could PM cross server lol.

Really! I’ve got a great, cross-server guild, and it will be so nice when we’re all able to go visit each other. In the meantime, we’re stuck with dungeons, which you can run cross-server, as long as you’re in the same region (NA servers with NA servers, EU with EU).

+1 would also like to see guesting as soon as possible, please! Guild Wars 2 has encouraged me to embrace flexibility with guilds and friends, but it will work a lot better once we have this last element in place.

Sadly I have not heard anything further about it. Fingers crossed for after Wintersday.

Obviously I don’t have access to statistics but I can’t imagine that at this time server populations haven’t “settled”. Really hoping it’s gonna be early after wintersday. I’m still pretty sad about server switching being lengthened because of people abusing it in wvw… I don’t even care about wvw… except for monthly… really wish that was part of the pvp monthly not the normal one but oh well xD. I kinda feel like the mid level maps would see more population if we could guest, mostly at least for the people still working on exploration! All my excuses to revisit them are on a different server

@Nayaru: During the Beta weekend events this feature was a planned feature. Everone assumed that it would be implemented at start and I was very surprised (and somewhat dissapointed) it wasn’t. I was playing GW with friends I met online from across Europe. With GW2 several collegues of mine came from different games. I decided to follow my online friends. But would love to play GW2 with my collegues, specially now im ina new function and not seeing them all day anymore.

However the feature was clearly not implemented due to waiting for server population to settle but due to technical difficulties with the system. They are working on it and have shown progress (by the dungeon guesting system). But it would be great to have it in place for all PvE activity’s
