This is the last week we played on Gunnar’s Hold. After sitting in a WvW meeting for 4 hours listening to 30/40 guilds talk empty words and the same 6-7 guilds showed up for the actual push at 6 AM as always.

We spent the next 3 days scouting Blacktide. Despite Blacktide losing by 60k to Desolation at the time, we (those 6-7 guilds showing up for actual pushes) still transferred on Monday – some before some after. Middle of the match, but we still made Desolation sweat a little bit when we helped Blacktide close to ~10k.

First week we could play on Blacktide from the beginning. Much drama about this match-up.

Second week we could play on Blacktide from the beginning. Great battle against FSP Russian guilds, which later transferred to Blacktide.

Third week we could play on Blacktide from the beginning, with help of great WvW guilds from FSP, and RG who transferred in the middle of the match, we steamrolled the match-up.

Latest match-up in T1.
Summary:
We transferred to a server that was losing it’s match-up. We helped build it up and progress in ranking, as the first and biggest benefit we had some of the best fights GW2 can offer.
I do not understand your reference to an older post, and why would I guarantee that KISS wouldnt leave? Im not even in KISS, let alone in a position to make such guarantees. Who would guarantee that a guild wouldnt leave?
Nidhogg @ KISS forums, 18 hours after CIR already transferred to Blacktide
http://www.sickalliance.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3333 (topic deleted after we made an official post that we transferred)
“Several guilds have been approached by the Blacktide guild [Xaoc] to see if they might be interested in transfering to Blacktide. So far the guilds Ive heard about this have declined.
Recently a guild member brought the following post to my attention:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Blacktide-Battle-reports/page/2#post394625
In there the warleader of Unnamed inquires about Blacktide, giving the impression that Unnamed might actually be interested in transfering. Likewise, CIR has let it be known that they are ‘voting about moving server’.
I can assure you that these guilds will not move to Blacktide, whether you feel relieved about that or dissappointed Ill leave up to each of you
For one thing, CIR isnt a democracy,The vote is a sham. They also will not move without the support structure as they do need the very people they look down on.
Should CIR/Unnamed actually transfer to Blacktide then they would not remain there long, Xaoc is different from what they think and I doubt they will feel at home next to a giant like Xaoc.
Since neither CIR/Unnamed are playing in the Russian time zone they also wouldnt benefit much from the Xaoc support.
The reason both guilds spread the rumor they are moving is because they want other guilds to tell them they cannot leave because they are doing such an awesome job. Their leaders have no real intention of leaving, just spreading the word that they might unless Gunnars starts doing things more ‘their way’. Ive been the head diplomat of CIR and if they were truelly moving they wouldnt go about it like this. Communications between them and Blacktide wouldnt be out in the open like this but on comms and internal forums, the public posting proves they will not move. Their leaving would also not impact the server to the degree that they think.
So for better or worse, CIR and Unnamed are here to stay"
Sounds pretty guaranteeing to me, you obviously possess a very in-depth perspective on the guilds you’re speaking for.
Unfortunately, XAOC was exactly what we thought (and in CIR’s case, remembered), and we benefited quite a lot from XAOC support like they benefited from ours. It impacted our old server to the degree we thought, and in a lot shorter timeframe then we thought. No worries tho, I did say you’d figure it out eventually.
For example, I can imagine what happens when a casual PvX EU guild moves to a mid-tier NA server, mid-tier meaning dead in NA off-hours. Should be entertaining, dont forget the mass-mails!
