Only GvsG would kill this game, 80% off all players would be left out.
Make a area and rank list for Guilds cross servers.
80% is off, now.
Congratulations!
They should just do it already before everyone is gone.
The way I look at it is this; lets figuratively say there are currently 25,000 people who WvW at the moment between all servers (on NA). Inputting such a change will probably anger maybe 5,000 of them, and half of those may leave to find another game. I use this number because it seems only roughly 20% of people oppose this idea judging by what’s read on the forums. Because Anet has no other way of telling who opposes it or is for it, they have to go by what’s read here.
So were down to 20,000; now how many will come back when they hear matches are now even? If Anet puts in a whole set of achievements for each “faction” or “guild”, or whatever you want to call them, how many more do you figure might be intrigued enough to come back or even join?
It’s my feeling that WvW will gain a lot more than they will lose with a change like this. This should be a win in everybody’s eyes.
Friend,
Well, my idea is good. I am happy to share it. Be happy , too.
Truth be told. Battles between different servers seemed like a good idea but became a destroyer of communities. GW2 dies slowly because of WxWxW.
Actually, I’d say with the megaserver, WvW is the only thing holding server communities together at this point.
I know when I’m in WvW is the only time I really feel connected to TC as a community anymore, and I love that, because I think our community is amazing. Outside of WvW, the only server-specific playerbase you have is the guild(s) you’re in.
Removing the last bit of server community we have still intact after the April patch would be a very bad thing, and likely would drive a lot of people who frequent WvW away.
You can keep repeating the same argument over and over, but people just don’t agree with you. Getting rid of a game mode many of us love just so you can have open-world PvP against people who don’t want to PvP…well, your idea is bad, and you should feel bad.
Friends, this is not a “debate”. It is only a kind of “outburst” to wake up devs.
“Megaserver” is just a pun for “Mergeservers”.
You know that the population of GW2 is falling instead of rising.
Ok, if GW2 is a game of few and still is a blessing for some, fine.
It’s been my experience that the server in each bracket with the highest WvW population wins. There is very little real doubt about who is going to win week to week, or each bracket of the tourney’s. Five defenders have no chance of stopping a 20+ man zerg. Servers are buying and selling guilds in order to “load” their server with overwhelming odds. Servers that have lower WvW populations are giving up. People who might otherwise compete either “join the bandwagon”, or find other content, or quit rather than become bags in an unequal “competition”.

I guess you don’t understand WvWvW at all – it does have PvE content. WvWvW is a combo between PvE and PvP. As far as zerging, that is the PLAYER’S OPTION, not the game. I often play WvWvW in a small dedicated and coordinated group. Also, with the advent of voice communication, who is to say the big ARE UNCOORDINATED? The term ‘ZERG’ means uncoordinated or mindless (look at most world bosses – those are ZERGs), but big groups are hard to coordinate and to the player on an opposing side, they look uncoordinated.
Try EotM then, that is a new map in the mists. That is mostly PvE, as that is how the players are using that map.
There is a real PvP – sPvP and yes you can play GvG in that, just not with 8 people per team.
As far as your suggestion, you know not what you are talking about. WvWvW has the most players in it, based on what A.Net has said.
I guess you don’t understand “Guild Wars” at all.
Ok, let me explain, again.
Currently there are no sense in playing WxWxW.
What I am suggesting is that the WxWxW maps (only WxWxW maps) become extensions of PvE maps with new quests, new goals, trade, farms and housing with “real” and “total” open PvP where different guilds can compete (it doesn’t matter the source server) .
Alone or group players could choose factions (temporary or not) as well.
This means that WxWxW maps would allow PK: Player (s) vs. player (s), the real PvP, and no longer a zerg festival.
So, it is a good solution for GW2.
The day open pvp, GvG and better craft starts in GW2 I stop playing ArcheAge right away

I think it would be pretty funny if the living story made events where your server would at times follow an npc party to attack a zone in another server, entering by hijacking and contesting waypoints and pouring in at various locations like Scarlet’s minions for the duration of the event.
Good idea.
Maybe, if factions were available, in the same server.

GW2 still the best MMO in terms of art direction and action combat, beats all the others.
What GW2 needs:
- Factions
- Open PvP everywhere and duels (with option flag: pvp on ou off.
- Police, trial and prisons
- Better and valuable loot everywhere
- More Pve maps (open PvP)
- Housing in WxWxW
- More traditional quest and better rewarding
- Portuguese translation
By the way, from another forum:
“Hello!
Games are a psychological experience. And the way they feel is of paramount importance.
That being said, let me use examples from original ____ to show what constitutes ____ feel:
Real danger was often imminent, and you really didn’t want to die. This kept players in a state of high awareness and thus complete immersion.
Players relied on each other for both complex and mundane tasks. (res, TP, buffs, CR, etc)
Trade skills required devotion to max out, causing those players to become highly valued.
Players could engage in complex tasks and build a reputation in the community. This led to appreciation, attention, and new relationships.
Quests could be long, hard, and elusive… but very rewarding. (epic weapons)
Players valued what they earned, since it usually required considerable effort.
Traveling was not always trivial, and was often scary.
Players learned to share, since for a long time, instances did not exist. Instancing disconnects players from the living world, thus breaking the feeling of truly being part of it.
The game was a rich journey to be savored, instead of just an aggressive min-maxing hunt.
These were the things that made ____ so memorable. There was persistence of alertness, determination, length, care, accomplishment, proper rewards, and daily collaboration among strangers. This is what I believe ____ needs.
Modern games are too often designed to cater to the lowest common denominator. Spoon-fed quests. Mindless killing. Minimal thinking. Content fed through a fire hose. Instant gratification. Short-lived gear. Flashy character appearance. Horrific communities. User interfaces that automate everything.
I hope the development team reads these forums.
Thanks"
