Complete Server rest. Tabula rasa, the big wipe. Well not really but sorta. Hear me out. Why not reset server population and remove the EU/NA tags from the server list. Then have everyone pick new servers? This would move around populations and mix match Euro guild with NA guild giving better coverage.

Thoughts?

Dude if i could award you with a freaking medal I would bravo! I believe this could solve the server issues but it would have to be perm or pay to move at a price that would make people choose wisley.

I posted this same idea in the suggestions section and someone brought up the fact that in EU, they can’t play on non-eu servers if they bought the EU edition of the game. It might not be legally possible But yes it could

Easier fix.

1) End free transfers.
2) No transferred accounts can participate in the current WvWvW match-up.

<Poof> Everyone wins. People can still change servers to be with friends, alliance-members, etc, but the servers have a chance to stabilize in their tiers.

Mis-matched server inbalances aren’t fun for anyone, “winners” or “losers.”

That will simply cement the current over populated servers. Free transfers need to be more limited even if this idea is implemented, but this idea would lead to more diverse time zones. Even if all the Aussies went to a single server, they would only be match against a small number of people for a couple hrs, rather than half the day. I’m basing this off the fact that GMT + 2 is 8hrs behind Aussie and 9hrs ahead of EST.

I would say this is untrue since there are eu guilds and german guilds on the top tier na servers unless they got a us copy

EU players would have worse connection ping if playing on US servers…kinda why they have them seperated in the first place

Simple fix is to end free server transfers but the main issue here is, server transfers will only cost GEMS to transfer…know how cheap gems are in game with in game farmed gold?…wont even slow anyone down…once theyre on a server thats losing poof X gems bye bye losing server …farm gold for server transfer for next week

I hope you are right

They’ll experience a on avg an increase of 50-60 increase to latency. Its the aussies and perhaps russians will suffer most. This is assuming that EU servers are located in or around Germany. But with a tab targeting game, the latency isn’t as big of an issue and programming can be done to make it less of an issue (which should be done anyways).

The free transfers isn’t the only issue. Right now, NA doesn’t have enough players from other time zones to offer 24/hr coverage expect for a hand full of servers. Even without server transfers that allows smurfing and bandwagoning, these servers would still have erratic ladder position. EU has less of an issue due to having a wider time zone coverage, but some of their servers are suffering as well.

Very true but 1800=35$ gems will only net you 10 gold so vice versa is 10 gold would buy 1800 gems so make its cost 100 gold basically costing you 100 gold or 350 real dollars in money i think that would end that without a doubt making you chose wisley or pay the price its simple gold farmers there is but gold farming would still take a long time to get 100 gold and if your a guild going to transfer take example a 100 person guild thats 1000 gold or 35,000 dollars to transfer a entire guild so you tell me whos going to do that but basically theres no reason to have server transfers at all…. and i also like my guild idea haha man that would keep guilds on there server lol
