Guild Wars 2

Since the megaservers have been enabled, time after time I’m finding myself sorted into maps with no sign of folks from my home server, my admittedly small guilds, or friends-of-friends, or folks and guilds I’ve become familiar with to any degree in the past. Even been having multiple instances of being put into different maps from current party members, with nothing happening when one of us tries to join the other. I play on Tarnished Coast for the community, atmosphere, amusement over immersion from widespread roleplay, friendly folks. Have hardly seen hide nor hair of that community for days, now, be it in cities or out in maps in the world. It’s frustrating. It’s extremely frustrating, and it’s quite hard to even make acquaintances when no longer running into folks interested in puttering around the same places or hitting the same events anymore. While some maps are certainly more lively, hostile attitudes and no longer being able to consistently, casually run into folks who were playing for much the same reasons I had been is rather quickly wearing away at my interest in the game. (edit: Nice to be able to have people become familiar, and to be able to see those familiar tags, y’know? Rather than eternally cycling through new names.)
