Guild Wars 2

Not quite sure how this could be implemented perfectly, but i had a brainstorm that you could add a “sister server” to the large overflowed ones.

Such as HoD would be queued in their hours long queue, but get the option on queue to go support their sister server Kaineng (for example) in their fight. Obviously priority would go to Kaineng players queueing incase it filled, and HoD players would still get their own queue pop when it happens and have the choice to move into their own game or to stay in Kainengs game.

You could also sister up for example ET with Devona’s, Stormbluff with Northern Shiverpeaks etc.
Hell you could even have a team rankings table aswell as the single rankings.

This could really work ideally for both servers involved as it would keep the gameplay flowing, and would help even the odds in the lower brackets.

Thoughts?

An idea so crazy, it just might work!

Although I think an easier alternative would be to just display queue times on all servers. Perhaps there could even be an informative pop-up.

Like Microsoft’s old “Clippy”.

“Hello! It looks like you are trying to PLAY A WVW MATCH WITH A 4 HOUR QUEUE. Did you know that BORLIS PASS has no queue? [TAKE ME TO THE TRANSFER SCREEN]”

I think a lot of people simply lack the information they need. I think more people would transfer if they understood that they could, and that there were places to go with no queues. I mean WE all know this, but WE read forums. What percentage of the GW2 population reads these forums? 10%? 4%? Less?
