This is based on number of guilds that have claimed structures since April 5th, 2014 see http://gw2.brutebyte.com/api2/

Remember, this is only a rough measurement of how many guilds each server has. These guilds could have a membership of anywhere between 1 to 500 members. Many guilds could be run by the same people. Also, some WvW guilds never claim structures.

A few interesting points to consider from the data.
1) German servers have the most guilds (only beaten by unofficial role-playing server Tarnished Coast overall)
2) If all guilds were equal, then Tarnished Coast would be about 4 times the population of Underworld
3) Number of registered guilds is correlates strongly with weekly WvW rankings but some servers like Seafarer’s Rest might be doing better with less guilds (again we don’t know the exact sizes of their guilds so they might have bigger or better guilds than Riverside).

This is really interesting, thanks for sharing.
TC being #1 is no surprise. With the SoR merger, the number of guilds participating in wvw rose dramatically. I’m sure TC is plagued with pve guilds claiming structures and putting no buffs on. One of the downsides of having such a large pve population.

German servers rule because they are very guild-oriented. Elona Reach is an exception since the server is mainly militia but it’s also the highest populated German server so will likely have a lot of smaller guilds and pve guilds claiming things.

Seafarer’s being low is expected. The server has very little hardcore wvw guilds (and isn’t much of a pve server either) but has the largest militia population in EU (stark contrast to it’s past). Riverside is packed with hardcore wvw guilds but lacks the militia (could change in the future with the success its been having).

I’m surprised how high Drakkar Lake scored. Perhaps being the German-RP server might have something to do with it.

15 of the top 20 in the overall list are EU servers. Hmmmmmm

You should also keep in mind, that a bunch of people use their personal bank-guild or “specialized” claiming guilds (wich are gernerally one man shows) just for claiming objectives in WvW

If you´re looking on livemaps you´ll find out that very often fully unknown guilds are claiming stuff (especially the smaller stuff like supply depots and turrets, keeps are mostly claimed by “real” guilds) so I think there is a huge unsharpness in the number of guilds

I always play with Mos open and pay attention to flip claims, but it seems like the majority of long term claims on any map are either troll guilds or personal size guilds running the +5 on keeps. I’ve also been known to run around a map taking and claiming camps with fake guilds and tapping keeps to make it seem like more than PvCamp is going on. But…I suppose that sort of activity would be spread evenly through all servers.

PvE guild runs around with 2-3 people flipping stuff with the help of a small zerg. They take a tower (or worse a keep) for the first time ever. Then they mention it in guild chat, and the other players say stuff like “cool, claim it for us,” thinking it somehow will help them recruit or bring visibility to the guild.

I see guild claims via sites like Mos all the time that come from guilds I’ve never heard of. I proceed to the claimed territory and see zero buffs.

As other have mentioned you’ll also see a fair number of tiny guilds that exist only to maintain an additional +5 carry for supply camps.

Data like this list is interesting but a little fuzzy.

Like other posters I claim with 4 different guilds… I am a leader in 3 guilds and an officer in another… 2 of those guilds are server admin guilds, 1 guild is just a list of friends from GW1 who play under a different tag on TC… and then SPoT is open for recruitment but is essentially just me still.

However, the dynamics of SFR are like one single giant guild with Kresh as leader and commanders and guild leaders as officers. We have at least 3 server admin guilds to help with that organisation.

loooool comon!!! i m in 5 guilds and 3 of them exist ONLY for claiming/upgrades !!!

If you open a thread like this make sure you have some serious datas

So, if you want to know we have actually 46 guilds following our WvW community, all actives, mostly WvW oriented (some PvX) all of decent/small scale numbers, we don t have 60+ blob guilds.

Have a nice day

Read his post completly before posting, you would have know he said the data is based on claimed objectives, meaning the number aren’t the real ones …
