Guild Wars 2

So as I was playing I randomly discovered that apparently the server I play on is the “unofficial” oceanic server. Not sure what was meant by unofficial, but it made me think that it’d probably be nice to be on an “unofficial” east coast server then, since that way I’d have a better shot of doing guild events if people from the same time zones flock to the same servers. Is this a totally stupid idea or should I bother switching? If so, anyone know which servers are east coast? (unless, by unofficial it was meant that just a ton of people from that region flocked to that server, in which case this whole idea and subsequently post, is stupid).

There are no servers for SEA/Oceania so the large guilds usually agree on where they will roll so they have enough people to actually play with. EG the Singaporean guilds rolled on Crystal Desert, PH guilds on Gates of Madness, etc.

I think u are confused: The Oceanic region is Australia/New Zealand and South/East Asia… lol.

So if you are referring to Sea of Sorrows or Isle of Janthir (and I think there is a 3rd one) then yes. There are a lot of Australians there, we need to find refuge someplace since no MMO will ever give us a home, resulting in horrible connections and extreme difficulties in enjoyment of the finer points of the game such as timing. However we still need to congregate some place or when we play the servers are usually dead as most Americans are asleep xD

This wont affect you too much it just means the population will be more spread out and u wont have massive crowds during your on peak time, tho I dont know what the % is anyway as it is all unofficial.

I have heard rumors of them giving us an actual physical server at some point here in Oceania and that would make me more happy than staring into the eyes of my first born child -_- its probably just a rumor tho * weeps *

On the plus side us Australians can keep your realm competitive in WvW. Bassario where did you hear this ‘rumour’?

On another thread from some guy, I tried researching it briefly… couldn’t rly find anything comprehensive, I decided best not to get too excited -_-

As someone who plays on Isle Of Jantir, with a central based time…I love it.

It means I can log on at pretty much any time of the day and find enough people online.
