Explain please. Examples like DN and MERC in T1, VOX in T4, etc.
Quite a few(T1) guilds stay in there tier because they have a player base that reaches around the world. If they were to move to lets say T2-below those players that are not in the prime time slot, it would be PVD…
Also. Guilds get familiar with the rival guilds they become friends(sumtimes not) and like to challenge one another
There is more reasons of course… But you get the picture
Some groups move within tiers to get better fights (your original server is stacked during your timezone so you move to an opposing server to fight that blob).

Pretty much this.
Or in the case of NA servers, the guild got bought by the rival server or your server is dying/toxic and the guild wants to leave but remain in the same tier.
Higher tiers stay to fight each other from different servers.
Lower tiers its up in the air. Could be just a bandwagon thing being started or some bit. Heard DR offers 50g per player that transfers over from someone who moved over to us recently. So it could be that as well, who knows.

This or the guild didn’t like getting beat and decided to transfer to a stronger server within a tier so that they felt better.
Once a few guilds start moving others follow suit for the sake of Competition as the guilds move tiers.
It seems to be happening here in the EU aswell, seeing as how stacked us T1 servers are compared to others. If we draw anyone else below us from the RNG hat, we faceroll them in terms of PPT and so there aren’t many fights off peak – especially late at night.

Some guilds are kittens and transfer to stronger servers but most seem to just want to even out the matches a bit.

DN moved for essentially this reason…we were not loving our situation, so looked around for better options. Considered t2, but the limited play time was not appealing to many of our members, so we needed to stay in t1. We wanted stability and the ability to antagonize as many guilds as possible, so that’w why we chose what/where we chose.
Moving servers is not the big deal that it once was. For many people, loyalties are to their guilds, not necessarily a server. This is can be somewhat flame-worthy to some, but it’s also the reality within the current wvw system.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but saw the DN and thought an inside perspective was warranted.
Sometime interguild conflicts or disagreements between guilds or different guild leadership will cause a guild to move as well.
Thank you Amelia for informing me about DN’s decision to transfer. I made this thread before I decided to join BG, I didn’t mean anything by using you guys as an example.
