Guild Wars 2

I’ve been keeping up with everything HOT. I only have one question that I have been very curious about.

Will the amount of players for each server increase? If so by how much? The new BL’s look huge with a lot of layers to them.

in short, No.

player population will surge with the release of the new expansion, and it will trickle down again after. If there is an increase in players, it will be short lived.

I think s/he is referring to the player cap on BL’s. I’m guessing that unless they build better servers or netcode or whatever to accommodate the player increase, they won’t be increasing the cap.

one thing for sure is that the EB Q will increase like crazy because those map completly looks annoying for guilds that want to play large scale PvP not bullkitten PvE

Considering all the new stuff going on, on this new borderland map i’d be surprised if there isn’t a performance loss.

Got a link to that?

I don’t think you need a link, anytime there’s a new zone there’s a surge of interest that will fade over time. Look at Dry Top and Silverwastes as examples, or EOTM.
