Guild Wars 2

HOT just released. I was about to transfer three accounts (mine and my kids), and pay to do so, to a 1000-gem server. But now that server is full? Presumably even when it comes off of full, it will go to 1800 gems — too much for me to pay for three accounts. My server is dead for WvW, so staying there is not an option.

I came back to enjoy some good WvW on the new maps, been working on some ascended gear to do so, and now I feel like my plans have been scuttled. Joined a guild that is based on the server I was going to, made new friends, etc. . .

Bottom line — they should notify you that they are about to change server classifications. Also, transferring is too expensive. I was starting to have fun again and was getting psyched for WvW — now, not so much, I’m feeling the pull back to MOBAs that took me away from GW2 in the first place. . .

Apparently…. the server calculations were determined by active players in wvw… so technically right now no server should be full.

Unless they are calculating it based of pve players again

The server calculations are for a long period of time so you can’t “fool it” by not playing wvw for a few weeks, it needs ~1month to adjust to heavy population changes.
Anet doesn’t notify about server status changes as they did not change them themselves, but the algorithm does (well, in theory anyway, if that’s the truth or not is unknown, as they did not tell us the algorithm ’cos then we would try to manipulate it).

So now even more servers that actually have active WvW are full. I came back to WvW — I am caught on a dead server. What the heck do I do???

Do the same thing we’re (or at least I am) doing… Cry! Pray! Afk!
You can choose or do all ^^

It seems sad, but the best thing to do is really spamming the forums, and hope the devs have mercy.

Unless you want to spend the gems required to transfer and you’re lucky to get a spot on an active server.
