Guild Wars 2

At this point in the game it is hard to encourage people to spread evenly among the servers. Some servers have 24 hour presence, some can only compete at prime hours. Some servers have long queues, some servers don’t know what a queue is.

Server merging is not an option.

So why don’t we decouple WvW from current home servers and create “WvW home servers”?

For example: WvW 1, WvW 2, . . . , WvW 24

Players will have to choose a WvW home server in addition to their PvE home server.

Benefits
1. Two players can be in the same PvE server but different WvW servers.
2. It allows the community to divide themselves better to support international servers.
3. Extra freedom in terms of choosing where you want to PvE and where you want to WvW.
4. For ArenaNet, more control in locking transfers. They will be able to lock PvE and WvW transfers independently. It means they can stop WvW jump-shipping without affecting PvE transfers.
