Looking for info from Ring of Fire and Underworld players
a commander of rof here.
1) queue time is low (10 minutes for eternal in the first afternoon) but a bit harder in the evening (20 minutes more or less).
2) dunno exactly about PvE, cuz I don’t care, but there are a lot of people duing that, seems like.
3)in WvWvW we rocks, exept in night time (after 2am), cuz we dont have a proper and strong night cap-defend team. in this week we are matched with bad servers, and we have 95% of the map
4)we only speak english.
6)im really happy of my server, because random players and pugs are pretty ready to listen and execute orders. the biggest guilds are pretty well organized between each other. the 2 main guild is mine (Blos=bloodstone keepers) and CORP. we are growing up everyday more and more with sinergy.
7)we always did pretty well, even if we suffer night time (not this week, because of bad enemyes)
Server population is growing, because many italians guilds are coming in rof from FOW. but honestly they are pretty decent (my guild is italian too).
last week we had matchmaking with underworld, so I can tell a bit about them. they loves a lot big and mindless zerg, ninja capping and night capping. but the dont seems too organized.

Thank you for the feedback, Lohengrin!
RoF sounds like exactly what we are looking for. We figured FoW is shrinking as well, seeing as they are in our match up but barely have any players in WvW at all to be noticed.
I’m from Underworld so i can tell you some:
1. Don’t suggest about queue times – Anet confirmed that they are bugged. Some people get instantly while others can wait hours. Anyway, Underworld as a High populated server have pretty long queue times for Main Borderland and Eternal Battleground during peak hours.
2. Not sure what you want to know about PvE. From my experience it’s pretty easy to find group for dungeons, and during Dragon Event’s there’s usually dozens of people.
3. Underworld usually does best in the morning + sometimes evening. Last week we won vs RoF and Whiteside (They say that due to night capping but i don’t really care). Now we are facing Gandara and Abaddon’s Mount – we pretty does not exist during night in this battle, so early in the morning we are in pretty bad situation. But during the day. But yesterday during the day we were fighting as equals with both of them.
4. People in /map /team chats speak mostly English. Situations when people are not speaking english are pretty rare, and usually happens when they are recruiting to their guilds.
5. About communication in /team during WvW can be different. There are days when we are pretty organised, people listen and know what to do, but there are days when there’s completely chaos. From what i’ve seen similar situations happen on almost every server. I would say that usually it’s not bad. We have few pretty good commanders that know what they are doing, and still growing WvW alliance (For now 4 pretty big guilds as far as i know) using mumble server for alliance operations which happens pretty much every day.
6. During 24h matches we were not doing too good, mainly because we had no commanders, only few people that tried to lead the server – but when they were offline, situation was usually bad. Our 1st 1week long match was pretty bad too, We got Arborstone (Fr server) and 1 other Fr server which name i can’t remember right now.. and Arborstone pretty much destroyed everything with score 400k:100k:100k… they are now in the top 10 servers. 2nd match was as i said previously with RoF and Whiteside, even if we won RoF was not an easy oponent this time (We never lost to them during 24h matches).
I hope this will help you a little with your decision.
Thank you for the information, Massacrul, i appreciate it.
