Guild Wars 2

I made it in to the choice server, but had to share my account details with 3 other people to delegate “watch” hours. This situation is obviously not preferable and could be rectified by simply by adding a server transfer request “queue” feature. Full means full but its also full of “ham” that players should have to resort to this sort of action to play with each other, and effectively blocking them from play (if they don’t desire to play alone) for days or weeks at a time. You honestly stand a chance to lose those players over the time period because unlike waiting in line at a movie, or at an arcade, gaming on the web and the PC generally provides immediate gratification. And yes I’ve been playing since AC as well. I may have been fortunate in my day but this is the first time I’ve had this issue with a game or an MMO in general. I only posted because this is a legitimate concern and I’m glad your reading the forums. =) But, I honestly think it wouldn’t take too much to fix this situation by adding the transfer queue which would be fair to all involved that wanted a transfer, and certainly more fair than either delegating player responsibility to ‘watch’ the server situation and sharing confidential account details, or having your players waste their time daily merely using their computer to sit and stare at a static screen. Its a single sour spot in your design. We (the concerned) are just pointing out our distress, what we really don’t want to hear is “Yeah you just have to wait in line and get lucky =)” Not in this digital age of immediate gratification and indulgence.

That all being said, I’m sure with extreme effort on the players parts they can get in. But this issue could be solved with the above suggestion by Arenanet without causing players to be this concerned and miss time with their friends and family and your game. Its a lovely game and we love playing it, so lets figure out a way to make that happen more often, not less. Thank You.

Hey, I just wanted to add my voice. I usually lurk and never post, but I wanted to add my voice to this. I play alot of games. This one specifically I bought to play with friends not solo. I couldn’t care less about playing single player in GW2 Im here for the wvwvw as that feature is not provided in most other games. As it stands now though within 4 hours of my guild and family transfering to Sanctum of Rall, I even living in France atm and am supposedly on SoR’s “off hours” cannot transfer onto that “full” server. So the result now is that I am restricted from playing the game for the reasons I paid for it in the first place. I have in the past encouraged other friends and family to purchase this game so that we could play together. Now I feel like I got stabbed in the back unintentionally by the powers that be. I don’t have the time or the will to sit here for hours daily just hoping a spot opens up on a full server that never changes, I’ve been at it for 2 days n kittenittenired of it. So what does this result in reality? I cant play the game with my friends and family and I wont recommend a game to new potential players because atm I cant play with them or the ones already playing the game. I’m extremely frustrated with the situation because EVERYONE loses here. You lose sales, I lose time with my family and friends, they lose time with me, and your community that keeps you in business slowly deteriorates. GW2 is a special game and has a place in my game quiver, but there are other things to spend my time and money on other than watching a server transfer page in the hopes someone quits the server of choice and I somehow beat everyone else to the punch. No thank you. Bad form. Bad form…
