Guild Wars 2

So I would choose HoD as my home server. During high peak times it might offer me to play on one of my 2 sister servers which would be in another region from my home server. IE HoD is my NA server and I would never get matched against my sister servers because they are in another region.

What would be the purpose of having so called sister servers?

Or 1 sister server. The sister server could be picked mathematically. The Top Servers sister server would be the bottom server. The 2nd ranked server would be 2nd to bottom etc.

My point would be distributing people to needed areas. IE I could play on HoD and wait the long queue times, or I could jump over to our sister server and help them out. Maybe it would be called something like the ‘sister server alliance.’ So HoD might be doing great, but our sister server alliance might be failing because no one went to help out.

Based on context I think OP is saying that you should be able to WvW on your sister server because it wouldn’t be in the same bracket/region as their home server. That way if HoD has huge queues you’re still able to get into WvW on your sister server.

Yes, with the added benefit of helping out low pop/ranked servers. It would MAKE the number 1 server pair up with the lowest ranked server etc. I am trying to offer a viable solution to unfair map matches since so many people are concerned about that.

The Asura in me thinks this is a brilliant idea! I would love to hear peoples pros and cons on this.

Here’s a con
The low ranked server would rise in ranking, despite being any good, and be matched with even stronger enemies, while getting a weaker sister server, for not being ranked last anymore.
Ending up in them being slaughtered even harder

Well, if they rose in ranking, I am guessing they will be happier players. Also, I can’t believe that any server has the corner on stupid people. :P It seems like more of a population issue for the lower ranked teams. And if it is just uninformed players, I am thinking that they would learn by being matched with higher ranked servers.

So it gives a needed handicap to the winning servers and a needed helping hand to the losing servers.
