Guild Wars 2

Recently on the Piken Square (EU) server, there have been random overflows in Divinity’s Reach. Now, at first I thought this was because there was some kind of event happening, but a simple relog (i.e. logging to character selection and back into the game) solves it.
Piken Square is a roleplay heavy server, particularly in Divinity’s Reach, but I’ve been playing since release, and I’ve seen it much busier than it is now, and never have I seen overflow here.
I think it’s pretty safe to assume that this happens due to a bug, and the fact that I can relog to get back into the ‘normal’ Divinity’s Reach just fine proves that.

What’s going on? It’s rather quite annoying that I have to relog in order to get to the place I want to play. I’ve noticed others mentioning this problem, too.

PS. I’m not sure if this happens on other servers.

DR is a huge city to get lost in.

TC DR overflows multiple times daily, but that’s because it’s the unofficial RP server in NA at least.

I find huge amounts of people across the city when I actually look on TC anyway- so I don’t believe there to be some bug.

Piken Square never overflows and never has. Suddenly it does now, and, like I said, a simple relog fixes it. The amount of people is also not that great, even after I relog and get back in after an overflow.
Not saying that’s impossible now, it’s just striking me as something that isn’t supposed to happen. The last 1.5 year, I’ve seen many more people in DR on occasion than I’ve seen it peak now, and even then there was no overflow. The only time I’ve seen overflow was with the Crown Pavilion release, and even then it wasn’t as bad as one might expect.

Tarnished coast as this problem and even everyone in the normal one says it is a bug we don’t all rp and more people are at gendarrian than in TC at all times anyways. I notice I also disconnect in the normal one randomly with no connection issues and end up right back in the overflow which has barely anyone

This is likely not a bug, a lot of people have been going to DR to hang out at and use the TP and craft ever since LA went kaboom, so it’s not that surprising there’s overflows.

Thats what i also thought. Since there are no crafting stations in Vigil Keep, people must now use again the starter cities

That makes sense, actually. I didn’t know, since I never went to LA nor Vigil Keep. Well, I suppose that explains it, then!
(Although I still think that Overflow is triggered way too quickly. Other games often have more people in one zone without problems.)
