Guild Wars 2

Some servers are really starting to get deserted. I think it’s important for the future of Guild Wars 2 that some action is taken. I suggest hese.

- Information about server activity
Choosing server, or world selection, you get information about the server population, medium, high or very high is the current options. I’ve previously seen a dev stating that this information tells us how many accounts made that particular server their home server. With a lot of inactive accounts the actual server activity is what matters when choosing a home for your heroes – making it a whole lot easier to choose when based on a more accurate information. (I do realize that with the new guest feature one can actually do some research self, but more could be done in this direction)

- Merging low population servers
If we could start merging the servers with low popularity or rather low activity the problem could be rapidly solved. Many are reporting unfair WvW match-ups where the one team will win the whole war in numbers, not necessarily by strategy or other strenghts. I do realize the possible problem if all these accounts for some reason should be active again and the server could be overloaded. – maybe therefore deleting some servers and then giving people on that server a free transfer to a new server would be a better solution. Lot of potential problems here but I think all in all it will be worth it.

High populated servers allows
- fast dungeon queues
- public group events to actually be done
- awesome wars in WvW
- chances of finding a fitting guild
- getting help
- meeting random bypassing people.
Overall a better gaming experience – for most people.

I actually posted this to another forum, but realizing this is a better place i reposted it here.

Bump. I really find this an important matter for the future of the game so I hope that some dev will actually look into it.

So after a couple of months i came back to play guild wars 2 again. I realize now that I wasn’t the only one who stopped playing, and this is a problem today.

For me it’s important with populated servers, this allows fast dungeon queues, public group events to actually be done, awesome wars in WvW, chances of finding a fitting guild, getting help and meeting random bypassing people.

Considering the WvW result of 8. Feb where my server is placed in the bottom of the list I assume my server is one of the most deserted. I plan on changing server, though this is expensive I’m only guesting other servers atm.

I would like some information of actual server activity. Today we can see if a server is highly populated and so on, but this is just how many accounts thats registered on that server, not how many active players. Also a merge of couple of the low populated servers could help

Hi. I wonder if you’d mind explaining what deviation and volatility means?
Thanks

Hi.
I miss the ability to customize my character after it’s made. As a feature you could buy for a considerable amount Gems or order as a service for real money. I’ve found that very much of this game post 80 play is about getting the most awesome looking character. Personally I’ve got 100% world starting to get some gear, but I’m not happy with the looks of my character, and i don’t feel like starting all over with the same class/race
Maybe this could be as an “ageing feature” or something when reaching a specific amount of playtime.
I think this would strengthen the game and make it more fun for some of the players reaching level 80 and realizing looks is a big part of the game. I’m sure the community would appreciate it and gladly pay for it – as we’ve done in other games.

Will you also update with current rankings and how those might have changed during the week?

What he said! That would make us all very happy.
