Guild Wars 2

Hi, all. This is my first ever post on the GW2 forums. I’ve been a happy player since launch, but I’m here today because this doesn’t feel right. I keep hearing how the mega server is supposed to benefit us, but my stomach is in knots.

ExAstris.8527:

What it comes down to is this: the mega server system takes away choice.

Arenanet—this might be a step too far for me. You are basically dismantling the communities I chose. My guild is in SoS. I guest to TC for RP. Now, I won’t get to see those guys. My community is not restricted to just my home world/guild. Yet even those are now taking a hit. My guild is beholden to your schedule, and I chose my home world because the zone chat was nicer than it is elsewhere. Can’t wait to share maps with Grand Theft Auto kidz or constantly hear why Obama sucks. My community is being shredded to accommodate your top-to-bottom approach.

I’m sure these ideas looked awesome on the marker board in your offices, but out here in the trenches—actually in game—you’re really messing with the ecosystem. And if that’s the case, why wouldn’t I just start anew somewhere else?

I think this most closely mirrors what I’m feeling. You guys are breaking so much just to fix some empty maps? After all of the zerg-y events in the living story, I sometimes need those quiet places. Why is that bad? Can I still guest over to the RP server?

I know that there were probably good intentions, but I have friends saying they are going to leave because of this. You are breaking my community. If they go, then I will go and I love this game.

I vote for choice and not the mega server.
