Guild Wars 2

So right now, from what i’ve seen in both T2 and T3 (and probably in lower tiers) players are currently crowding into EB for open field fights. Now, a lot of this probably has to do with EB being a “comfort zone” for a lot of players, where they can go and just do WvW as they know it, but I think it would be a fantastic Idea for servers to at least try out the new map for a night or two. Right now we have this vicious cycle where people go to the new map, then leave because it is completely empty, making it seem even more empty for anyone who comes in later.

Now i’m just a random pug, and I have no idea what kind of inter-server communication exists in each tier, but i’d like to encourage commanders and server leaders to try and set up a night or two where guilds head to the new borderlands and try and fill up at least one map.

Basically I’m holding off judgement on the new maps until I can experience them with large groups running on both sides. Whether those large groups all run together, or are split up into smaller sub-groups, the only way we can try out the map is by actually playing on it.

I’d love to know if it’s possible to have really good fights on the new map. How does the netcode hold up, do the new PvE elements significantly detract from fights upwards of 15v15 players? Is it likely or even possible to find consistent fights when the map is full or near full?

Again, I don’t have the personal connections to make this a reality, but i’d like to put the idea out there.
