Hello everybody,
As the title suggests I am looking for a competitive EU server which has decent “off hours” coverage. My playtime happens from 3 am GMT to 6pm GMT, so I usually never get to play during EU prime time. By competitive I mean a WvWvW server community that plans to stay competitive in server rankings, as I love to play the ppt game. I have Commanded in WvWvW and led havocs as well, and I am a decent pug commander. I will be playing my own transfer fee, all I am asking for is a friendly community which has long term plans to stay competitive in WvWvW.
So in a nutshell, what I can provide to you:
1. I am a decent pug commander, and can rally them during “off hours”.
2. 90% of my online time is spend in WvWvW, and in important matches I put in massive overtime.
3. I am a team oriented player, and I prefer to work with my fellow players to achieve our common WvWvW goals.
What I am looking for:
1. A friendly WvWvW community so I don’t play alone during my play time.
2. A server which plans to stay competitive in WvWvW for the long term.
3. I prefer to be on a English speaking server, as I do not know any other European languages.
4. Some “off hours” coverage, so I do not play alone
Thank you for reading, take care.
I will be making my final decision in 24 hours. Thank you everyone for your suggestions.
It seems my choices are down to
NA: SBI
EU: Gunnar’s Hold, Piken Square, Riverside or Desolation.
Only servers that are active at midnight eu time are sfr and vs
This is not true. Desolation and Riverside also have a night team. And it seems Piken Square also got some guild to do night capping, but that seems to be rather small guild, so they are lacking in this respect and Piken bleeds points at night time.
SFR has the strongest morning presence (100+ players + golems) and an SFR player confirmed that they can short queues then. I can imagine the queues are worse in prime time.
The server rank has little to do with skill. I would say that for example Augury Rock, a rather small French server, has some very high quality players and guilds, but they are rank 8 at the moment. The servers who are in top 2, are there because they stacked with huge amount of WvWvW players, have the best coverage (and also the longest queues). It boils down: Do you want to be on a winning server and spend time waiting to enter the WvWvW? Or do you want to play on a server which has no chance to win gold league, but there are no queues to speak of?
I will do my best for server ppt, but honestly if we don’t win (or don’t have a chance at being first) then it is no big deal. I do expect the server to have enough people to be competitive on at least 2 maps during my play time. If our 30 are fighting 50 enemies, it is fine by me. But if 10 of us are fighting 60 man blobs all the time, then its not fun.
I play around 12 hours everyday in the time frame I mentioned. I only do WvWvW, so PvE side does not bothers me.
Thanks for your post Mirsa, but I am keeping Tier 1 lagfest as a last resort option for now. But I do appreciate the time you took to reply on this thread.
I will put SBI on the list of my potential servers. It seems like almost all EU servers are dead during my playing time.
Which EU servers have active Asian communities?
Hi, I am an Asian player looking for a skilled EU server. I would love to play on a server which runs medium sized well coordinated teams busting zergs and blobs. A place where I can improve myself as a player and make a meaningful contribution to my server.
My usual play time is from 00:30 am GMT to 18:30 GMT. Server must have an active population during this time (on at least two maps).
Thank you for reading, I am looking forward towards your replies.
