Guild Wars 2

With free transfers available for the next couple of days, I thought that it would be a good idea to compile estimates of server size using the number of players in the PvE achievement leaderboard as a proxy for server activity.

We all know that the most dedicated WvW players are not very high on the leaderboards, but the leaderboard players are very active players who do spend time in WvW. This could be a tool for you to guesstimate coverage (and up to date too) going into the season. After all, whatever is happening today will change when PvE achievement hunters flood WvW.

(Not just WvW coverage but PvE coverage could affect you decisions on where to transfer)..

Severs and ## on the leaderboard: (Unaudited, probably a slight mistake here or there)

Jade Quarry: 144. Gold
Blackgate: 129. Gold
Tarnished Coast: 91. Gold
Sea of Sorrows: 74. Gold
Sanctum of Rall: 69. Silver
Fort Aspenwood. 63. Silver
Yaks Bend: 60. Silver
Dragonbrand: 53. Gold
Maguuma: 51. Gold
Stormbluff Isle: 47. Silver
Henge of Denravi: 33. Silver
Crystal Desert: 29. Silver
Darkhaven: 24. Bronze
Borliss Pass: 21. Silver
Sorrows Furnace. 19. Bronze
Isle of Janthir: 19. Silver
Northern Shiverpeaks: 16. Silver
Emhry Bay: 16. Bronze
Gate of Madness: 14. Bronze
Kaining: 10. Bronze
Fergusuns Crossing: 9. Bronze
Anvil Rock: 7. Bronze
Devonas Rest: 4. Bronze
Erredon Terrace: 3. Bronze

Using the above to guesstimate approximate server activity would project Blackgate o be over 6 times as active as my home server, Borliss Pass. This seems…. Accurate.
