Well it was very confusing to me today when I tried to open the WvW panel and didn’t see my good old Ehmry Bay on the “Choose a map” list. I immediately thought you guys had merged servers, where did my Ehmry Bay server go? …then I read the release notes and found out about the linked servers thing currently in beta. I then read the part where you can mouse over and see what servers are linked. Then after mouse over all on all the text, I found my good old Ehmry Bay server name somewhere.

From a User Experience point of view (yeah I’m a dev in RL), the user shouldn’t be required to mouse over text to find out the things they want. The UI should be friendly and present the information instantly. If my current server is linked to another, Sea of Sorrows as it is right now, the list should say Ehrmy Bay and when I mouse over I can see the other servers linked to mine, and not me as a user having to mouse over and find my home borderland.

I know this is all in Beta right now, so hopefully you guys can fix this usability issue soon.

Thanks.

Ehmry Bay is dead and gone. They’ll probably remove all traces of it soon, once people get used to its demise. By the way, it got absorbed by HoD, not SoS.

Proof that the UI is confusing!
