Switching to full server?
I don’t have first hand knowledge with this, but this is what it on the wiki,
“You cannot move to a world that is listed as Full. However, that status varies throughout the day and tends to drop during off-peak hours, i.e. if you are unable to transfer, try again when there are fewer people playing, e.g. extremely early in the morning for the region’s datacenter, i.e. 0400-0600 UTC for the EU.

The servers are full due to the number of accounts calling it their home server. If accounts transfer off you can get on it.

“Connor, when you see a server FULL means that the people who’ve chosen that server as theirs, or players who have moved to that particular server, have reached the cap, independently of where did they create their accounts.”
If they’ve chosen that server, that means they chose it at character select and their account is there. The comment about where they created their account means you can create an account on one server then transfer that account to another server.

That is active population. Case closed.

Yep. Because all you’ve been able to offer is personal anecdotes and random theories. When you have real quotes/facts to back you up, please speak up. Full servers still mean full because of accounts based there.

If it was based on population, then the game would refuse guesting also. A full server would be unable to be guested to.
Ok. Let’s say someone wants to transfer. What are they transfering but their account? If the game refuses to allow them to transfer on the basis that is is full, it’s because it’s holding all the accounts it’s allowed to hold. It’s only until accounts transfers over to a different server that spots open up.
They do this throughout the day but at night, even though less people transfer, the new spots aren’t grabbed as fast as during the day (less people trying to get in) so the spots stay open for a longer period of time. Making it easier to get that spot that opened up, which would be immediately taken during the day time.

That is your own speculation. My theory has already been proven, by your own post nonetheless, so this discussion is over.

Not necessarily. It could only restrict new people transferring to that server, but not guesting because it’s sort of a ‘free test’ kind of thing. Not allowing new people to permanently transfer there to control server population. There is room for both theories to co-exist here.

It’s accounts that transfer, not characters. If you try to transfer an account and the game refuses because the server is full, it’s because that server can not take one more account.
If you guest, your account stays on your home server. It’s not transferred over. Which is why a character can guest to a full account but an account can’t transfer to one.
And this:

1. People actually do change servers, so some Full servers become Very High just from people moving around.
(In other words, accounts moving from one server to another)
2. We continuously monitor the World populations and make adjustments, but there is no scheduled update period. It depends on demand for particular worlds and how much people move around and (don’t forget) how many new players join specific worlds.
3. We frequently adjust the World population caps just before events, but that’s not guaranteed.
As both could work together, it could easily just be raising server caps so that more people can play on that server (active population). Active population has already been proven, so there’s not really any point of trying to disprove it. This will be my last post in this thread, as it’s starting to turn into a rather silly argument.
It isn’t active population. Find me a dev post that explicitly states that it’s active population. And by explicit, I mean actual words “active players” or “players currently online”.
Not times when it is best to attempt to transfer to a server that’s full.
Dev’s have stated that it’s based on players who call each server home.
And why don’t they go to low if it’s active population during the wee hours of the morning on the lower tier servers? Why is it only just to very high?
Very high suggests just a small percentage of players moving around or the cap having been adjusted.
Sorry Lazaar, AP is correct. It’s number of accounts that call that server home. Whether they are online or not makes no difference. Only when people transfer to another sever will it become not full.
This is a good thing tho. It’s the reason we are always able to always login without ques because of full servers.
FULL means there are the maximum amount of accounts assigned to that server. An account must LEAVE the server for it to open up to allow new accounts to join it.
Current log in numbers has NO bearing on the FULL status.
Anet has only changed the server population caps a few times and then it was in relation to some WvW tournament seasons. At the same time, they changed the transfer pricing to make it more economical to move to the lower population servers (and more expensive to move to the higher ones).
