Guild Wars 2

Hello fellow WvW’ers,

We are looking for player’s to help us solidify our position in rankings and numbers among our weaker timezones.

What we need:
1) Players/guilds willing to participate/coordinate during the following timeframe:

• 3AM – 2PM (PDT)
• 6AM – 5PM (EDT)
• 8PM – 7AM (GMT)
• 11AM – 10PM (UTC +9)
  specifically Oceanic/EU players

What we could use:
1) WvW players of any time really, specifically players willing to coordinate and work as a team though.
2) Anti-zerg groups (commonly known as zergballs) to compliment our larger general playerbase.

What we offer:
1) A server that has large coverage in all aspects of the game (WvW, PvP, PvE).
2) Community website, forums, and 1000+ slot mumble server for coordination.
3) Minimal to non-existant queues for all maps outside of reset night. (Occasionally EB will be queued during NA primetime on a weekday as well)
4) WvW guilds ranging from small group roamers, general zerg bodies, and coordinated large group tactics. (Working on establishing some zergball presence).
5) Legen -wait for it- dary Cookies, duh. (ninjaedit x2)

We are running into our first score-balanced matchup (since January) and are working to improve our core, and now would be the perfect time to integrate additional players into these timeframes so we can establish a coordinated presence and get them working with our current alliances/tactics.

We have plenty to offer and look forward to seeing new people help us reach higher.

PS: Fellow SF’ers if you want additional information in this first post, lemme know and I’ll try and add it all together (as long as it doesn’t get too spammy).

They’ve also got cookies.

Ogod, how could I forget the cookies. Added. I am so ashamed of myself atm.

Yes yes yes!!! Pls come check out SF as your alternative choice for NA if you are in oceanics. If you want challenge, come joinnn. Great pve and wvw community

Pls go to SF us at T8 want them to go as far away from us as possible

So this is how you hope to win against Darkhaven… interesting. I guess more people in SF means more badges for us

Not Darkhaven-specific!

We’ve known about this coverage gap since November. Now that we’ve gotten about as far as we could on just length, we need to work on girth and how we use it :P

There there. Zerg failure happens to the best of servers!

Our zergs are doing just fine. DH seems happy to have decent competition, unfortunately we don’t have enough numbers during the NA late night/early morning though.

It’s a struggle to hold what we cap during our peaks, and it is hurting us :/, DH and IoJ have a great presence there, and if we want to progress at all and get stronger, we need to close up that gap.

Why must you shame me further? *sigh, corrected again. *begs forgiveness from the almighty Dolyak.

I kind of thought you were, but I couldn’t help responding to silverfire’s phrasing. For the record, if I were to leave FC (relax Fergs, not gonna happen <3) and had the gold SF would be my next choice after my experience fighting against you guys in T8 and our interactions here on the forums. Best of luck to you! Get that gap covered, kick more butt!

Is this how you plan to get to T5? DH has huge coverage gaps as well, so delightfully capitalized on by AR and BP. I know you guys are hurting in oceanic slot, which is hard to fill and IOJ happens to have it. We get PvDoored by them as well. But ah well, in my opinion our servers are very balanced at the moment. More closely balanced than any server I can remember since autumn. but good luck to you and your transfers. Hopefully we can continue to have balanced fights.

It’s just something (the coverage gap) that has been painfully obvious as we get higher and higher, and yeah we’re not necessarily trying to get to t5 to be honest (we really enjoy fighting DH/IoJ), as much as make it so those spending a fortune on t3 upgrades aren’t losing them every night, it tends to turn some people off that are actually contributing quite a bit to our server.

Free bump!

Servers in higher tiers (like Tarnished Coast) are paying gold to entire guilds to join them for these exact same spots.

To compete I think you should have the same offer and market yourselves as a lower tier alternative.

The meta and server memes in this thread are almost making me gag, but to outsiders they have no idea!

Come join our exclusive club.

As far as offering to pay to move guilds over, that’s something we’d really have to think over. I’m personally not a fan of it, especially because it can cause rather heated drama, as if the migrated guild owes something to the server. Worth talking about though.

Maybe save the gold as a last resort thing if you have (example) a cool looking guild who is wanting to come over but not all members can afford it etc?

Yeah, it’s possible, if funds is a concern bring it up with us and we’ll at the very least consider it. Forums are one way, registering/posting an inquiry on the server forums might be more beneficial though as the word will spread through SF faster.

You should put this up on the initial post, might spark some interest to some poor oceanic guilds.

I disagree — the point was to point out that we’re interested in receiving transfers from these coverage zones. We weren’t actively inviting interest via compensation, but rather simply willing to look into it if that’s what would be a deciding factor for someone on the fence.

I would argue against offering cash incentives. If the purchased guild decides to move on later then there will be plenty of bitterness and resentment. The only time I would consider paying a transfer is to lure a guild or guilds to your tier to help organize and train the current population. This would likely be temporary for the guild transfering but could help structure the servers long term guilds.

I play during the mentioned hours most days. We are a dedicated group that puts in the effort and has lots of fun everyday! come join us

Not sure why we’d be recruiting… Our server is good the way it is.

There are a lot of reasons we are recruiting, hop into our forums and check out some of the threads and get in on the information if you are really curious.

I would rather be relegated back to T8 before I paid mercs….Just my two cents, which is not worth much these days….So with that in mind paying is prob the way to go.

Hey Im calling shenanigans on this! lol the cookies are merely a ruse to pull the Omnom nation towards your cause!

and besides…darkhaven pays in cash for transfers <3 hehe

Agreed. It’s one thing to help out a handful of people who want to make the move, but can’t afford it. And that’s something worth considering if such a situation ever actually arises. But the idea of buying whole mercenary guilds thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. There’s so many ways for that to go wrong and leave our server high-and-dry. Not to mention I’d prefer people transferring here because they truly want to be a part of the SF community, not because they were paid to be here.

^That.

Yeah, for the most part I agree as well, I just didn’t want to write anything off of the table yet.

Just don’t talk about Mesmer’s and it is all good apparently…But I digress lol…

We really could use some help in this time slot in all seriousness, some of our server’s better players also play at these times, so please do not think that we have no one on at all. We are just looking for better coverage.

We’re still looking for more players as the OP stated, T6 has a lot of people during that coverage so you wouldnt join a no-man’s land. You’d have some competition and fun times in our bright community, so join today !

Hello! I am new to these dating sites so I am not sure what to put in my profile. I am a great, fun-loving server that enjoys interacting with various groups around the world (v world v world). I would love to have more friends from the Europe and Oceanic areas as it gets a little lonely at night here. And the more the merrier for the other timezones too! I am a bit stubborn when it comes to my possessions, especially when I have worked so hard on improving them and setting up my decorations. I really do not like it when I have guests just take over the place and leave their trash everywhere and they take all my supplies!

I really enjoy long hikes in the mountains but feel right at home in my castle, keeps or other various properties. I am always running around my maps so I am in great shape. I also enjoy cooking and baking, especially my Legendary Cookies!!

Please, only serious suitors need reply.

You make a good point, SF seriously needs some training if they want to move up any more. Since they are trying to recruit for weak timeslots that leads me to believe they are.

That being said, with so many servers vying for oceanic attention, the only advantage SF could bring would be free transfers for guilds.
