Guild Wars 2

I am trying to form a guild and get my friends to play the game. What sold me on the game was the fact that we can group without having to race to cap level. With dynamic level scaling for zones I can go back to old zones and get XP while playing with new friends entering the game.

After getting a number of people into the game and the guild apparently my server capped. None of my additional friends can create characters on my server so I can’t group with them. I though at first it wasn’t an issue because the game has cross server missions and dungeons. Now I find out that only works if the characters can start from an overflow, and no zones on my server create overflows and haven’t for a while. So I am pretty much screwed. It seems like my only option is to try to get my entire guild to pay to swap to another server?

The frustrating thing is my friends created characters on other servers to, you know, try the game they just purchased. I can’t make alt characters on their servers to play with them? All my characters are locked to one server?

Even worse, we can’t do storylines or dungeons together outside of the shards because of this stupid restriction that we all have to be in an overflow together to enter the dungeons. There aren’t any overflows on my supposedly full server except Lion’s Arch. We can’t do low level story dungeons, we can’t group to clear zones, and we can do story missions together that fall outside Lion’s Arch.

Seriously?

I wouldn’t mind if my server was, you know, actually full. But there’s no one on the server. The zones are pretty much empty with no overflows anywhere but Lion’s Arch.

Why is this game set up this way? I am now unable to create and maintain a guild and my options are to try to get everyone who joined to pay for a server transfer which will us away from our alternate guilds which friends or, what, go play WoW?

If you are stuck in combat, try hitting ‘Z’ to put away your weapons. If I have no conditions that often knocks me out of combat so I start healing.
