Tongku, I’m sorry you never got to truly experience what the SoS community is really about. It’s taken a beating by the full status that we were previously victim to that prevented us from being able to recruit and rebuild our WvW population when guilds/players stopped playing or transferred. We are free of that now and full of hope for the future. Just last night we had multiple people using CComs and others asking how to set them up. As was mentioned before our NA was bolstered largely by GvG guilds which are known to use their own TS/want to test their mettle solo against groups. That mentality is changing. Last night we had three tags all working together on a map (home BL). SoS would be the perfect place for NA players to look to come right now. All are welcome. If you want to get a true idea of what SoS is really about, please join us at www.sosgw2.com and meet us yourself. We’d love to have a chat with you!!
SoS is not ‘Royally Screwed Up" – they’ve just been ‘royally screwed over’ by the previously constant FULL status that plagued the server for some time, the population has been consistently lower than the current other T2 servers, as SoS has a majority of the ‘population’ that are PvE players. That has been currently rectified, and the doors to the server are now OPEN!
As Boa has stated – The population previous was primarily GvG oriented guilds, and that population has left the server recently. This, in my opinion, makes SoS an excellent server to consider at this time, especially with the other 5 servers between T1/T2 now locked with FULL status that previously plagued SoS for a very long time. Too long. SoS Community is small, and fairly close-knit these days, with a LOT of potential as it comes to growth – the current WvW players still on SoS are an excellent example of great community – tags working together, ccoms being used now, as well as a lot more freedom in the TS3 that is provided than I’ve seen in a lot of other communities.
SoS is a server that shouldn’t be ruled out for people looking for a community-oriented place to call ‘home’ on GW2.
Some transfer assistance is also available, thanks to the fun raffles and community events that are a regular thing here on SoS!
