Hey guys,

A couple of my friends just picked up gw2, but unfortunately the server we’re on is showing as full (actually about 60% of servers showing as full for NA) and they can’t join us. I know I could just have everyone transfer to a server that isn’t full, but the few of us really like this server we’re on now.

So my question is how does Arena.net determine when a server population is full? Is it based on total accounts on that server? Is it based on active accounts during certain time slots? Is there a time where servers have open availability because there are less active players? I know our particular server doesn’t have a huge NA and EU time slot population, so would there be a better chance to try and join then?

Thanks.

pretty sure its just accounts online during that time i believe, don’t hold me to it, so if your friends come online during really wierd times and try for a transfer they might be able to. Unless youre on SoS where its got 100% coverage then nevermind you’re most likely screwed.

Will you help me move?

Like the poster above me stated. I also think it’s based off the amount of accounts online at any specific time. At odd hours (3 am – 8 am est) usually some of the full ones appear as high. But yeah the bigger servers like SoS is full about 24/7. Unless they can try getting on right as servers come up from a restart or something.

Accounts which are online at that time.

We managed to get a guild on our full server by having 3 guilds log off a month and half ago.
