We have scouts out this week we will be sending more out to other servers we find interesting or that fit our style.
We are taken this very seriously, we do not foresee moving until Season 1 is over, so we still have time to scout.
To add to what Jayne said, NA midday is EU prime time so you’ll definitely have people to play with on EU servers. Most NA servers are ghost towns outside of afternoon-night time whereas a lot of EU server have 24/7 presence.
If you’re worried about being outnumbered then EU is probably where you should look. NA WvW is where night-capping and population disparity is most prevalent. The vast majority of EU server are relatively equal in strength. T3 servers can actually compete against T1 servers. Just look at Mos.
And your server is?
We worry about being outnumbered too much.
Yep. It used to be that way, but it’s changed. Even EU silver league on some servers have what they call a night crew. Watch the MOS (weekdays though, weekends tend to skew real data) during the time you usually play. It’s typically a good indicator.
We worry that our loaners (people who can play in NA middle of the day ) wont be able to have 1v1 or 1v3 fights.
Having played both NA and EU, I can tell you definitively that there are way more roamers in all tiers compared to NA. It’s one of the things that keeps me in EU. I can even say in a match thread that I’m looking for duels and will get whispers all week. It’s fantastic. And these duels occur anywhere from 8am EST to about 8pm EST
We worry we would be zerged over when there are only 5 of us flipping camps.
Some servers have havoc squads, but most are starting to realize their worth. Servers like Baruch have always had them, a few others too. There are blobs, particularly during EU prime, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. But I spend 90% of my time roaming and can say I can find my ninjas.
We worry that we won’t have people to do PvE during our Prime time.
That’s the easiest one. You can always check temple run sites like gw2stats and guest. It is quieter after 9pm EST on most servers both in pve and WvW but there are bodies to fight in WvW. So instead of facing 100 man blobs, you’d be dealing with 50 man blobs. And as havoc, you know it’s easier to avoid one 50 man instead of one 100 split in two.
This move is extremely important to us we are being very careful in our choice. Some of us have never been on any other server but our current one (since beta days) and so it is a big deal to move .
Then I’d recommend sending a scout over for a week to see for yourself. People can claim anything they want. Having firsthand feedback is usually best to help you decide. I won’t sell you on Piken, the server kind of speaks for itself. But I really do love it here.
Which Server are you on?
Thanks noobler for relying. And to everyone that has replied thus far. We are taking our time at this choice. We don’t forsee a transfer until Season 1 is over. But plz all know we are sending scouts out to servers. So please keep replying.
Not familiar with your crazy events but we love to have fun. We have to because it isn’t about “winning”. If you are more concerned about winning you would do better on FA or SBI. Tell me more about your crazy events!
We are not at liberty to give details of the events we run publicly as that would blow our cover on our current server wide open. We are well known on our server so we are trying to keep this on the down low as to not create more drama on our current server. Let’s just say they are popular and lots of fun!
Consider Dragonband. It fits a lot of what you are looking for, and needs more people willing to command the militia population.
We have a community VOIP, and a good solid PVE population for ya as well.
No matter what happens this season, DB will still be in Silver league next season. so no worries of having to be in Gold league any time soon.
Perhaps you could answer these questions as an opener for us:
How well would our small group of 15 fit into the WvW scene?
Do you think your server would support our crazy events? What kind of WvW events do you already have?
If you could change 1 thing about your server, what would it be?
Hello,
You should definitely consider Northern Shiverpeaks. We have been heavily recruiting players & guilds just like your group.
Make no mistake. NSP is not for everyone. If your guild is just looking for some easy wins and the final score at the week is really important to you – you will not want to be on NSP.
The players still on NSP and the ones transferring here are the type of players that play games on “hard-mode”. Not to be confused with hard-core, serious, get your act together or gtfo. The players here are here because they enjoy being challenged and don’t get frustrated or give up because “omg they have so many zerglings”.
We have a relatively new community website at http://northernshiverpeaks.org and have been successfully building a stronger community between all of the players and guilds.
You may have already looked over our recruitment post here but let us know if you guys would like to get together in TeamSpeak with some guild officers/commanders and have a chat.
We have looked over your thread. We took it to mean you guys were too serious for us, please forgive us if this is a misconception of ours.

I will say our WvW Events while fun are still for the most part WvW focused meaning we do try to accomplish things while doing the events. Aside from 1 event (this event is only for about 2 hours and the goal is fun above all else) we do we are focused on doing good for the server.
Why are you leery of EU? Maybe I can clear up some common misconceptions? I moved in June after playing NA since beta and I love it. Completely different game this side of the pond, similar to what you’ve outlined.

It’s not that EU is out it’s not. We just need reassurance is all. In fact we have one EU server on our radar at the moment. I won’t name them because I don’t want to discourage others servers from replying.

So please do try and sell us on your server. We really want to know what is out there and how other servers are.
Part 2
What we Want:
• Our #1 Rule is have fun! We don’t do it unless it’s fun.
• A lot of our members love to havoc. We love small fights, camp capping, yak slapping and sentry takes.
• Somewhere that has a well-established leadership/community.
• Somewhere that we can roam (and find people to kill) and not get zerged while doing it.
• Somewhere that will let us be ourselves, be stupid, drunk, and have our community events, that we like to organize and do in WvW. *A note here, even when we are stupid, drunk or in events we usually accomplish good things in WvW we just do it with a hint of style and lots of fun.
• Obviously a TS/mumble/etc that we can use. Community VoIP must have a room where music can be played. (For our crazy nights)
• We want an active PvE community as well as we have people in our group who do both WvW and PvE. So the PvE community must be as good as the WvW part.
•Silver or Bronze League.
• NA servers, we haven’t totally ruled EU servers out. We want to play in NA Primetime and not be outmanned and still have good fights. And then of course we need an English-speaking server. We aren’t ruling EU servers out just leery of them and we need convincing.
• We would like a community that will refresh the siege that we build
What we Don’t Want:
• We know there will be times when we are outmanned, but we don’t want it to be always outmanned.
• We don’t want constant enemy zergs. We don’t mind finding them just don’t want a server where that is all there is.
• We are also not looking to be paid to move somewhere. And we frown on servers who pay for guilds to move to them. Servers like this will most likely not be a place we choose. We are not the types to server hop or jump on bandwagons etc.
• Gold League is totally out of the question, as it doesn’t fit our needs.
This is not my main account, this account I rarely use so reaching me in game may be hard. Secondly, replying here allows all the members who are transferring to read and see what the answers are.
Please answer these Questions on this thread when replying:

Thanks in advance for all your replies.

Group of friends/guild members in NA prime time looking for new home. Currently the number stands at about 12-15, but has been changing daily so I don’t know what the final number will be. We have come to the conclusion we are unhappy at our current home, due to a divided community. We are being very careful in choosing a new home. We hope to move before the next season, this gives us time to scout other servers out and make a careful choice, for our new home. This group happens to be very diverse in their play styles, which makes finding a new home a challenge.
Who We Are:
• In this group of friends we have about 7-8 commanders, some of the commanders have more than 1 tag among their alts.
• All are experienced WvWers.
• We are all adults, most of us are over 25 and some even older, we are mature in the ways that are important. With that said, we really like having a good time, and our language and conversations are for mature audiences only.
• We love defending homelands and good at it, however, we do like spreading our wings a bit and crashing on enemy BLs. We do occasionally go to EBG, but stick mostly to borderlands.
• We love running our tags for what other people call pugs, we don’t use this word, but for the purpose of this thread we will. We have no issues with the pugs; we actually do very well with them. And they seem to do well for us in return.
• Fantastic Scouts. We try to make sure others know exactly what is happening and where they may be needed most.
• Very good communicators. We use community VoIPs as well as map chat. We make sure everyone knows what we are doing and what the plan is when we run our tags.
• Awesome Map-readers. (We usually know what the enemy is doing and what will most likely happen next.)
• We treat other commanders with respect; if we disagree with another commander we try and keep it in whisper chat only.
• We like to keep a positive atmosphere on the map. We don’t dis others. We actively ask others on the map to do the same. We are big cheerleaders and try to maintain a good moral even when we get stomped rolled.
• We always remember this is a game and as such it should remain fun.
Who We Are Not:
• We are not a zerg busting group and have no desire to become one.
• Synergy groups, we also have no desire to become one. We adhere to the philosophy that people should play their characters the way they like to play and what feels best to them. This doesn’t mean we don’t try new builds etc. It just means we don’t like doing cookie cutter stuff.
• We are not the kind of commanders or people who yell at our groups or call them names because something went badly. We don’t like commanders who are this way either.
