I just noticed that when our guild switched servers we lost all of our upgrades and influence we had built and earned ? Our choice to switch was based on our inability to help out and be with friends on that server and now we find out all we’ve worked for over the past 3 months is gone ? Is this a temporary thing or did we just get the shaft ?
We’re a small group more interested in P vs E and being with others we’ve gamed with and worked on community events with in Guild Wars I. Arena.net has been slow to introduce guesting and we’re done waiting so we’ve made the switch. The switch was from Storm Bluff Isle to Henge of Denravi so it isn’t like we’re playing the alliance games or anything for W vs W vs W. In fact we could care less about that. We went from a top P vs P server to one that’s at the bottom.
Why would we loose all the things our small group has built over the past 3 months ? I really hope this is a temporary thing. If it isn’t all I can say is Anet is wondering why the community here and from GW I isn’t as close ? Small guilds and friends are what cements your player base not server based games and the inability of players to join their friends no matter where they are.
Honor is limited only by the limitations that we place upon ourselves.
Well I guess this is all on me and my own fault for not reading everything prior to making a world jump but a small 7 man guild that’s made of casual players gets slammed for everything they’ve earned in the past simply for switching worlds ?
Why ?
What in the hell could we possibly do that would unbalance the game or their precious W vs W vs W competition that things for our guild such as storage and buffs for guild members need to be nuked for a server switch ?

I don’t think there is anything you can do about it and I am not sure I have read about Anet working on that issue (I could be wrong on that). This is a pretty much known issue for a long time.
Does your friends on the new server have a guild? A full party of guildees doing things multiplies your influence dramatically. Luckily, if you work as a group, it will not take you very long to catch up to where you were.
If your missing items you left in the bank, I believe you can go back and get those items. Your old guild should still be there with all items and upgrades.

Yeah this hurt bad since we all switched over but my small crew has been able to do more that larger guilds can’t since we do work together. But if you switch anything you have is gone. Guild Storage… anything in it kiss it all good bye. Like I said I guess it’s my own fault for not reading up more on the process and the switch will be beneficial in the long run but WOW… what a real kick in the butt by the developers. I guess it keeps large alliances bringing to bear things when they switch if you look at gold as something which could also imbalance their W vs W vs W which is the biggest issue concerning all of this. For us RP types and those who just like to do things for the community such as host, help and schedule events Anet is killing us and keeping our hands tied. I could start an entire conversation about how the mechanics in this game has split more than one community and kept people apart more than it has helped bring them together.
Oh well I guess we take the hit, rebuild and live with it like it or not. Thanks for the reply though.

The guild I am in is a multi server guild. We were told there was a guild bank, only to discover that there was only on certain servers. It is hard that you lost everything. Good luck building again

If you transfer back, everything will still be there. It’s permanently on that server forever, or until the guild gets disbanded. (this includes everything in the bank)
Anet has said since day one that guild upgrades are server-specific. I doubt it’s being looked at because it’s not any type of bug or problem, but something specifically decided to be implemented.
