FA?

Aussie here, currently on FA. We have oceanic guilds doing coverage so there are definitely other Aussies on. I believe my old guild [RP] x-ferred to FA and they are oceanic based and currently active too. You will find others around, don’t worry!

Sea of Sorrows and Isle of Janthir were the two servers selected early on for Oceanic players. Isle of Janthir still has remnants of those players so I recommend them. Gate of Madness was also considered, but I don’t think there’s many left there now 3 years on.

Other large Oceanic communities reside on the top 3 ranked servers for WvW, Tarnished Coast, Blackgate and Jade Quarry, though those servers are full.

What Zephyra said. If you are looking to come to T2, Fort Aspenwood has a quite a few Aussie WvW guilds: RP, Adv, XIII, etc.

Or you could make a real difference in the world and NOT join any server that is already stacked.

Oceanics who join servers that already have too many oceanics are doing it wrong. You will never learn anything beyond how to PvDoor. You will never get good.

Hello, I am an officer in the FA based oceanic guild RP. I’m not going to try to recruit you to our guild or FA because ultimately that’s your choice, but I’ll give you a basic rundown of T2 ocx as it stands.

FA has a number of guilds who play ocx but as of late we’ve had issues with the PST —> OCX handover time, resulting in a mostly paper BL, after which its continually Ktrained by SOS and YB (A bit Biased but meh). Main guilds are XIII, RP, HG and AdV (+ some smaller guilds who I havent mentioned.)

SOS is the former unofficial OCX server that Ktrained during the night but they lost alot of their OCX coverage. From what I can tell their main OCX WvW guild is TF, who tend to run quite large (again, bias :P). There are also a few roaming guilds such as FN (I think :|).

YB often has a pug blob on at this time, as well as several roaming groups (thinking KH + Friends here). They also have Munt, who is probably the top ocx guild right now due to a lack of competition, but even they tend to run quite a few.

So yeah, thats T2 OCX in a nutshell. Sucks some nights but anything below is dead. T3 might have a decent group every now and then but T4 and down its just small roaming groups really, but that might be what you’re into

Jade Quarry. Aussies and plenty of oceanic players in general. Most populated server, and overpopulated for the oceanic time zone. So plenty of zergs, blobs, pvdoor’ing, but also guild raids.

Tarnished Coast, least populated server for the oceanic time zone in Tier 1 (faces Jade Quarry and Blackgate). Aussies and Kiwi’s present in oceanic, plenty of enemies to fight. Guilds present doing raids.

I don’t know what’s going on with Blackgate atm. They have some oceanic guilds, don’t know who or what the kiwi/aussie ratio is.

Tier 1 will provide though.

If you want to join T2 come to SoS.
True FA has a big OCX community but that server is over stacked at it is.
TF are recruiting more OCX people visit the sos forums if you want to find out more.

TC … we have both aussie’s and kiwi’s, open community. Other than that, I would say SoS.

Also … our server opens up during the day usually prior to est timezone.

Willing to pay for boxed expansion if you put legit GvG in the box $$

SoS and YB need more OCX to even out T2. T1 is stable as it is. T3 and below would be boring from a fights perspective, although you could make a difference just PvDing or defending against it. FA fastly outnumbers the other two T2 servers in OCX so a choice for FA would likely be a choice to PvD.

To say “vastly” is an understatement. YB has way more players playing early OCX than FA or SoS does.

I recommend to the OP to look at the MOS data to understand population levels. If FA were PvDooring, FA’s PPT would be dominating during OCX hours. It isn’t.

YB only have the midnight pvd train when they need to push ppt because the score totally matters.

FA are are indeed PvDooring every night. They can easily match combined YB and SoS numbers wise on any given night, it is just there are generally enough defenders for it not to be a complete walk over. Still go to door to door looking for easy champ bags though.

SoS has seen a recent resurgence in their OCX player base, and YB has 2 relatively small but quite active and enthusiastic guilds. Neither server would be a bad choice.

^^^ Says there’s PvDooring every night, can’t show evidence of it.

Really there’s pretty good balance atm as the MOS data is showing.
