Server Pride

in WvW

I was actually looking forward to the server linking when it first became a thing. I wasn’t quite satisfied with my home server of the time so I was hoping linking would change something, at least. I wasn’t wrong, even though the first pairing I was part of wasn’t exactly ideal or cooperative in the end.

I switched over to my current home server before the end of the first linking because I was lured in by the sense of closeness and coziness I could feel even as an outsider of the time. Reading Leona’s post made me realize that since we started to get linked with more servers and time passed, that homely feeling has disappeared somewhere along the road. I’m glad I was part of it before it vanished.

Can’t blame it on other servers, you guys are as stuck with us as we are with you. ;D

However, in the long run I have traded the closeness of a server to a closeness of one single guild I run in wvw once in a while, though I have to admit that as a pve scrub that I am, I have been doing less wvw and more pve as time has passed in the era of linking.

As a faulty product of pve, I preferred the company I was in over the enemy players we could find. I just prefer smaller community over many communities overlapping. Just my two cents.
