Guild Wars 2

currently i’m on stormbuff isle, but the wvw seems kinda dead here. Is there a active server I should transfer too? The only reason I picked up gw2 is because of the wvw

You might’ve wanted to do that a day or so ago.

You can do some google search on which server has the most active WVW but isn’t full; so if you transfer to that world, because it requires some gold to buy gems to tranfer; you can get their cheap.

Your former server mates moved to Jade Quarry, Sanctum of Rall, and Kaineng if you are planning to move.

If you want to bandwagon, and have long queues(most likely upward of 1-2 hours during peak times, just like at launch), Jade Quarry, Sanctum of Rall, Kaineng, Blackgate(maybe not so much Blackgate), Maguuma.

Dragonbrand and Fort Aspenwood are also populated, and you get small queues, but they are pretty good at WvW.

If you want no queues, Stormbluff Isle, Ehmery Bay, Crystal Desert, Isle of Janthir, Devona’s Rest (pretty much all of the mid tier servers now). Instead of being awsome and hugely populated maps, the battles are a bit more strategic, I find, on these servers. The servers choose their battles, rather than rush and fight zerg vs zerg.

Its a matter of what you want. top tier server? queues? No queues? Strategic? Zerg?

Correction: Dragonbrand has 0 que for like at least 3 months, we usually have outmaned buff at least in 2 maps in most of time.

Do not listen to anyone except to me!
Come to TC!
1. We are the RP server, so we have a fun community.
2. We are a T2 WWW server, so alot of WWW going on.
3. Despite our excellent WWW rank, we do not have loooong queues. We have them, but usually shorter than 15 minutes.
4. We have the best cookiesh!

Sea of Sorrows, Jade Quarry, Blackgate or Sanctum of Rall.

All four servers are currently the best inside of WvW.

wow, someone wokeup late.

Listen to Tallis.

If you want to WvW, yet have a blast, come to TC.

We have:
1. Cookies, cake, and pie for everyone!
2. Wenches and ale!
3. Pirates! Lots o’ Pirates!
4. Dolyak parades!
5. Plunder! Lots and lots o’ plunder!

Seriously, if you want to transfer and are serious about WvW and having fun, hit me up. TSL is always looking for recruits.

Yes, you are on the right server. The bandvagoners who deserted their servers are on the wrong server.

I’m not that hip on Wv3 anymore- still on SBI- but the ‘server bonuses’ do matter.

I’d wait a few more weeks to move… until after the Rating Reset… to see where to dust settles. That’s what I’m going to do.

Who knows… might not have to move at all.

Definitely do not go by this week. We still have some really strong and loyal commanders but I think that since it is so imbalanced this week many are just not playing wvw. Since you have to pay to move now anyway you may as well wait and see what happens once we are in the right bracket.

I’m on SBI too and I’m staying. If I were you I’d wait until after this weekend at least. Right now we’re up against a zerg server who outnumber us by a huge margin at all times of the day. We’ll get a better matchup Friday night with servers that have similar populations as ours.

Corrected.

I’m on SBI and staying. There’s a variety of reasons some are staying, as probably as diverse as the people.

We’re not top, or even T2 or T3 anymore, but that doesn’t mean wub v wub won’t be good again. We are very fortunate to have a die-hard core of T1 vet commanders, who are keen to share their experience and knowledge who’ve chosen to stay and stay active.

However we don’t, and at this point, it’s unlikely we’ll ever have the numbers to go higher than T4 for the foreseeable future, depending on how the ratings shake-up goes.

Do you already have friends in-game, or friends/family from RL? Community and participation in it is what more mature MMO’ers are looking for mostly and SBI still has some quality players here.

So if you like your WvW old-school, and map chat comparatively free of band-vagoneers qq’ing about how they’re leaving cause you all lose on their time (given they’ve all left already), then SBI may be worth the stay.

NB: Not all those who left were vagoneers – but some of the elements that followed them could’ve been said to be thus…those elements we don’t miss one bit!

In the end: do what’s the most fun for you.

Jade quarry since beta.. Longuest que during this week. Maybe 20 mins tops And that’s on prime time.

Back to topic.. Your server left ):
Also they just switch transfer to cost.. maybe try to hit some of your friendlist people if you still have some. Or try look up for a guild on the web/enjin sites of servers also helpful.

“Tier is immaterial… but if you are wanting a Legendary weapon… the world bonus is everything that matters.”

So don’t spend a fortune on tier 1 transfer… if tier 4-5 will get you the same bonus for a fraction of the price.
