Guild Wars 2

I know there are many ppl complaining about server transfers, servers being full etc. But seriously….

All my friends are playing on Blacktide server so naturaly i want to join them and play with them in pve and pvp.

I bought the game on 10.11.2012 around 15:00, since then the Blacktide server is FULL. I work at home so i check the servers status every 5min or so (with few hours of sleep in the middle of the day) I KNOW, ITS CRAZY. I checked it in the morning, in the noon, in the middle of the night, and all day long and its FULL. First i told myself how is it possible for a server to be full 24/7? But well it was weekend so maybe all the hardcore players were online without sleeping. But now its monday…. 7:00am and the server didn’t change its status for at least 40h.

Searching through forums i have found information that players from different timezones are moving to EU servers so that WvWvW mode can be populated 24/7. This means that there is a possibility of server being FULL 24/7…..

All of my friends that are allready on the Blactide server ale able to login and play without a problem, they arent put on a shard or anything so it looks like the server is not so “FULL” after all, but choosing it as Initial Home World is impossible…

Is this on purpose? Is this the way NCSoft or Arena try to lower the population on highly populated servers?

Why theres no queue to registering on servers?

Is there any other option for me to choose Blacktide as Home World?

I rly want to play with my friends and i dont want to choose different server. I dont like to whine about stuff like that on forums but atm i “cant” play the game that i payed alot of money for…

Btw. IF i would choose another server, is the server changing option still free? Is there any ETA on when its going to change to paid?

And if its still free with 7-days restriction, when does the 7-days start? Can i change the server right after i chosen my Initial Home World and the next change can be done after 7 days? Or do i need to wait 7 days after choosing the Initial Home World?

I would be very thankfull for any reply and help.

i have the same problem
just purchased the game and cant join my friends in "desolation "

Same here, cant even start on Crystal Desert because it says full all the time.

So a while ago I was finaly able to choose Blacktide as Home World server. It was really painful (took about 4 days of constant server checking) to camp for a space on a server… but it is possible…

But now another of our friends bought the game and wants to join us on Blacktide so of course it’s camping time for him.

Let me just repeat some of my earlier questions:

• If you choose another homeworld server, is the server changing option still free?

• If it’s free, is there any ETA on when it’s going to change to paid?

• If it’s still free with 7-days restriction, when does the 7-days start? Can i change the server right after i chosen my Initial Home World and the next change can be done after 7 days? Or do i need to wait 7 days after choosing the Initial Home World?

It would be really helpful if anyone could answer any of these three questions.

As a bonus, I’ll add an image that haunts all who want to play on the Blacktide server. Of course, the Happy House icon is only at the end of a long and painful road.
