Guild Wars 2

We were told that server status will be based on WvW population, is that working at all? There was been only one change on server status in few months since this change, and then nothing for months.

I don’t believe that Kodash as 8th ranked server have more people in WvW than Desolation that is first. But still Kodash is full and Desolation very high.

So why is Kodash locked for new people, and highest ranked servers are not?

So on what kind of data is decided what is server status, and how often that will be changed, for now there were only one change in months and then nothing.

In NA is little better, because all 4 highest ranked server are locked, but in EU only SFR is locked even if is not highest ranked server anymore and probably don’t have highest WvW population too. Then is Kodash as 7/8th ranked server locked. No logic at all.

I don’t know what the EU servers are like, but it’s entirely possible that you guys are heavily populated during one TZ while mostly empty during others, whereas the higher ones are less populated than you overall, but has a better spread and so better coverage.

The issue is servers are now listed as full due to WvW participation. While you may be very inactive during 1 timezone, you may have VERY high participation in another which could cause the “full” status to be on.

Or there could be a delay in a status being “full” to not from wvw participation.

I know I am interested more in knowing exactly how the server status system works, and if it’ll be broken down to specific “prime times” or not, or how delayed the status lock outs for “full” are, ect… to possibly see the individual servers balance population out a bit on their own accord.

Kodash used to be the strongest German server for quite some time, so I guess it accumulated one of the highest WvW populations, but suffers from the fact that most of the players are in the same time zone.
