Guild Wars 2

Jski.6180:

So do you have the ability to give us number or just to say things are a lie. If you can only say things are a lie with out realty backing it up with any idea what it realty is your not giving us any info. Its more of an act of trashing out then the act of informing.

I do not have specific numbers only experience, I play on Darkhaven server which is a “High Population” server but we can not muster a Frostgorge train, the people to kill Tequatl, and are constantly fighting much greater odds in WvW from other “High Population” servers. I’ve guested on Blackgate and Jadequarry and their “High Population” is not the same as our “High Population.”

Donari.5237:

I don’t expect to go dormant for six months; that long a break in any MMO for me generally means I’m never coming back. But if I did, especially in GW2 which is billed as a game you can pick up again as if you never took a break, I’d darn well better be able to return to my server.

What you suggest might work if it was a) free and b) no server said “full, you cannot be here.”

That’s part of what I’m getting at is why count dormant accounts of people who have probably moved on and don’t plan to play the game in the foreseeable future, and of course reinstating your account and establishing your home server would be free.

Hey it’s my understanding that currently server populations are a reflections of all accounts created on that server regardless of activity… This is a problem. If I may be so bold as to suggest that a dormancy server be created to hold inactive accounts. Accounts that are 6 months dormant should be moved to the dormancy server. The accounts could probably be compressed to save room, and when the account is reactivated the user will be responsible to choose a new home for the account much the same as when you initially choose a server. This will help our servers to not be burdened with dormant accounts and will help the server population be better representative of the actual active population on the server, rather then all the servers appearing to be equal with “high population.”
