Guild Wars 2

You know, if you don’t know what server your friends are on by now, maybe you should take up a different hobby…

It’s time to lock these servers down and let people start building a stable community. We are never going to have a stabilized population or any kind of server based community as long as entire groups of people are just hopping to whichever server is winning a particular match up.

It’s been long enough. people are not transferring to “play with their friends”. They are transfering so they can be “winners”. I won’t get in to the irony there…

Close transfers when every server have full W3 maps 24/7.

I think more is needed at this point. Without some kind of greater incentive for WvWers to play on underdog servers – prior to closing free transfers – then closing transfers will only make a frustrating issue much worse.

There really needs to be a better spread of WvW players. Unfortunately, that will require free transfers – otherwise we would just see the servers winning because of numbers now continue to dominate long term – which would be devastating for WvW.

So – free transfers need to stay for now, but more is needed to encourage a better spread of WvW players across weaker servers.

It will never happen… People are over populating winning servers.. And people on losing servers are suffering and quitting. The Xfers are killings its own game.

They’re going to leave them open until most of the WvW population fades and the remaining WvW population is centralized on three servers so there’s only one perpetual match-up. That’s the only reasonable explanation I can think of as to why they’re letting the disaster continue.

Curious to see how TESO RvR will pan out.

Transfers are open until they get their Guest feature working.

Yep, jumping servers to say hi to a friend in ‘pixel-person’ is more important than WvW as a feature.

There aren’t enough players on and too many matchups therefore come down to numbers.

Maybe they should dump some servers from WvW altogether. Have ‘PVE’ and ‘WVW" servers. Those on PVE servers will be people who have no care for WVW. Those that want to continue to play will move to WVW servers and you will have much more even playing field. It’s like contraction in a sporting league. And because most players are now 80, combined with those that like WVW mostly do that and not PVE, you shouldn’t have a problem with total populations overflowing on any server.

Or just contract a few servers altogether regardless of PVE/WVW, now that that the player base is diminishing some.
