Guild Wars 2

So i’ve decided I’d like to move to a higher tear Server for WvW (I’m currently in FoW).
I quite like the look of Piken Square, but I wanted to ask a few questions.

(1) when you move servers, will you still be playing with the same people in PVE? Does the Megaserver system mean that I will still be with the same player community, I can stay in my currently Guild etc.
(2) Is Piken Square a good server for WvW. I want to move to a server that I can easily join zergs with, but I can also do roaming
(3) Is Piken Square matched up with servers who play fair and don’t use cheats etc.
(4) Also if I move servers will my Personal Story and living world content be saved so I can continue from where I was in the personal story for my characters who haven’t completed it yet?

Thanks guys

1. With the megaserver you can still play with anyone you want from any server you want in PvE.
2. http://mos.millenium.org/eu/matchups should give you an idea of server strength. They seem to be in a good spot.
3. There’s probably at least a small number of cheaters on every server.
4. None of that stuff should be impacted.

Piken Square is grouchy and xenophobic.

Gromit will bite you.

Anet score show clearly that piken should be full status. Pls fix your system and move bandwagoners back in their old servers.

Piken Square is a very good server, with a good and strong community. We have people all the day. At what time do you play ?

usually at about 5:00pm gmt onwards

Yeah the others have covered it nicely, don’t forget to check out the server history so you can get a good idea of how they’ve been doing. Pay attention to the score difference and evolution.

For example if you only play in the morning if they generally have a score of say 65 at the times you play then they’re either very weak at that time or the other servers are simply zerging/Ktraining. Either way be prepared for a fight.

Also as someone who has transferred from T9 to mid silver it is a very very very big step you’ll be taking. Expect to get your kitten handed to you for a while before you adjust to the lag and different play styles.

I would say silver isn’t bad either, plenty of room for roaming even against the blobby servers.

Oh and don’t worry, most servers are not like the one we both have suffered at the hands of but shall not name ;-)

Then you should be fine with us. The home border have few people, but always place for roaming. And if big ennemy group attack us, then the main group join to defend.
If you want to join the zerg you should find it generally on EB, sometimes on ennemy BL.
We only have blue tag on home border when we have big trouble or at prime time.

Sounds good I think I’ll move to Piken Square then, sounds like a good server

We have a good community guild, you can contact me ingame if you join Piken, I will invite you

Cool, thanks for the advice I’ll check out the server history like you said. It’ll be nice not to have to go against the server that I will not name

Thanks, will do

ive looked at server history and sorry for being an ignoramus but how do i interpret the graphs?

Thanks

For Piken you can check here : http://mos.millenium.org/servers/history/8
More easy to understand.

Farshiver peaks is open too. Much better option than piken. FSP knows how to integrate bandwagoners in community because they got tons of them from SFR months ago.

Aurora Glade is also a good option and potentially cheaper in transfer cost than Piken or FSP.

I switched to AG from FoW about a month ago for the same reasons as the OP (Hacktide…I will give them their TRUE name!) and I’ve been happy in WvW since.

That being said, it appears that the ones who were hacking on BT have moved over to UW now and are continuing with their antics over there.

Seems they are happy ruining T9…they probably reckon lower numbers means they can get away with their BS more easily.

So, I’d suggest that ANY server that is safely out of T9 range is a good bet at the moment.

With that in mind, AG was the choice for me based on cost and position in the tables.

Good luck wherever you end up, OP.
