Guild Wars 2

why can you perm merge servers ?
having to work with different server every other week its a Pain
our server are mainly USA time , so 12 AM , hardly anyone on , but other server are Ero Time
so when we go offline , they come on , when we come online , most of them are offline
main is can Anet give Perm Merge server so we dont have to work with different people every other week

Permanently merging servers wouldn’t work because (1) complete dissolution of whatever server identity remains. It would be very unpopular (2) Temporary linkings allow ANet to control the population of a server and adjust it every couple months, preventing any one server from being stuck in the same tier for too long and helping weaken bandwagons.

Secondly, ‘every other week’? Dude, what? Relinkings are every 2 months, not 2 weeks.

And thirdly, that’s the whole point. Servers are linked in order to provide every server in a tier with even coverage.

Still, did you even read up on anything before coming to post here? We’ve been through this before.

here go spread the word,
-permanently linking WvW will turn it to somewhat like EoTM but worse
-you cannot and will not be able to balance out people

lets say anet heard your call and merged all servers into 3, heres an example:

Blackgate(3000 players) vs Jade Quarry (2000 players) vs Yak’s Bend (1000 players)
-since BG always wins in numbers due to whatever reasons like Bandwagon or something, they’re happy
-YB always lose in numbers so they transfer to BG so it would turn like this

Blackgate(4000 players) vs Jade Quarry (2000 players) vs Yak’s Bend (0 players)
-BG always wins over JQ in numbers
-JQ is not happy so they quit

finally WvW would turn like this:
Blackgate(4000 players) vs Jade Quarry (0 players) vs Yak’s Bend (0 players)

now thats, what factions and globes is all about

Because

No control could be imposed on players’ presence even on the same servers,

And players on opposing servers could show up at the time of their choices.

Even on a Perm Merge server, one would gradually work with different players as new ones showing up and familiar ones disappearing for all likes of reasons, like transferring away or taking a long break or playing on another account on another server.

im sure they got data , how many ppl on each server log in wvw , they can do the math and balance it out , like this other game i play , which i dont think i can put the name out in gw2 forum lol

Not really any point to permanent merges if you can still move around. You’re just going to force a bunch of players onto servers they may or may not like and trigger more movement.

Also links are not every other week, you’re not playing with new players every other week unless it’s new transfers into a server. Links are every 2 months.

Dear Keviin Snow,

Please change your title so the devs and plays have an idea of what the contents are before deciding to click.

Thank you!

i love EoTM, but turning WvW into EoTM is a different matter

and also the other game that i played guilds fight and defend objectives and is being rewarded gold and glory by doing so, guilds fight against every other guild out there with or without formal/informal alliances

…but here we have servers, which is the formal alliance of guilds

take out the servers, destroy the alliance, do not reward players and guilds on WvW, surely tis a timebomb threatening a genocide

is that what you want?

preventing any one server from being stuck in the same tier for too long.

^Obviously isn’t playing on CD, HOD, NSP, or any guest servers 13-15, but especially not SF as the only guest thus far (correct if wrong) that since Aptil hasn’t seen anything above a mid T3 pairing. The hosts listed, shuffle between T3 and T4, 2 of them I believe saw T2… once! But, are localized to T4 as well.

Theoretically, I know there’s not much that can be done for the 3 lowest hosts, but surely, if the 13th and 15th place guest can gaze upon T2 for a week, the 14th place guest can too
