Recently some discussions have popped up about how WvW queues and per server player limits work.
Some people claim that there is no such thing as a per server limit and that one server can fill up one map almost by itself, barring the opposition from getting in.

You’ve stated many times that these limits do in fact exist, but I didn’t really find any information on how exactly it works right now. Most of the things I found were vague or outdated (I do believe the numbers changed at least once if I remember correctly).

So what I’d really love is a clear dev post on how the player map/server limits and the queuing system currently work (how many per map, per server, whole WvW limit, etc) both as a definite information source to point at to stop frankly annoying discussions and to satisfy my own curiosity.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I know you guys are all very busy at the moment, fixing things, improving systems, creating content and reading aggressively worded feedback. So thank you for your hard work and I hope you do try and get some rest in the coming holiday season. <3 (so you can go back to slaving over the game for us afterwards :P)

“500 × 4 = 2000 / 3 = 666.666666 repeating of course….
So over 650 people PER server.”

@Zimba: Thank you.
I’ve been there already though and it’s 11 months old. The game wasn’t even released then.
Some confirmation would be nice.

I’ve also been curious how this works.
