This restriction was put in place after previous player complaints of other players transferring to worlds who were winning or more likely to win during Season 1 last year. In addition to being explicitly stated in the blog post linked by players above, it was also messaged in the form of a warning when attempting to change worlds. This warning has been in place since the beginning of the tournament and reads as follows (emphasis mine):

Are you sure you want to transfer to <world>?

If yes, you’ll be logged out of your account, which may be inaccessible for a short period of time while the transaction completes. In addition, you cannot make another transfer for 7 days. Your WvW accessibility will be restricted to Edge of the Mists for the duration of the current match and until the end of your world’s next match.

The question I would have in resposne to is this: Are the lockouts starting as if players transferred today, or if I transferred a week ago does that start the time for my lockout?

The lockouts start the moment you transfer. If you transferred a week ago – meaning last Wed. then you were banned for the remainder of that match and this match. So you can play on reset this Friday.

If you transfer today you are banned from WvW for this match and next match.

People are making this way harder than it needs to be.

I don’t think you understand the questioning behind this. I was NOT banned from wvw when I transferred a week ago. All the lockouts actually started TODAY.

• When you open your sentence like “FA/TC/KN does this and that…” you lose all your credibility because you can never truly speak for the rest. *

Bananasmile.4126:

Let TC throw all the sarcasm, witty remarks, and other stuff they usually do (I don’t read much)…and show the rest of our server what we’re truly made of.

Irony?

Good fight to everyone who showed up this week and props to you from kn and fa that are battling through the tough times!

Amazing class for wvw, and bag machine to boot.

I may/may not have had this planned ahead of time.

2 1/2 hours and no update? C’mon lads and ladettes!

Really fun fights between our servers!

If we every burn out on Busey I think Roseanne can pose for our updates

Hydrophidian.4319:

Score update!

(unfortunately, Busey photobombed it. So. It’s not very helfpul)

You might have to send me some in game gold to compensate me for the beer I just spit all over my keyboard laughing at that.

aaaaaaaaaaaand dirty char score update

Hi. So I’ve recently been reading the threads in total agreement about queue times on TC (and other servers apparently) with a fraction of the people that are there to typically fill up a queue.

Last night a few people from my guild were online in SOR borderlands. One went afk and never came back. I logged on this morning (about 10 hours later) and we were still partied and his DOT was still in SOR BL and on the guild screen it showed he was still logged into wvw. I know for a fact that he is not actually in the wvw map, but likely on the character select screen, but it still shows him in guild in WVW.

Honestly I don’t know if this is related by any means or not, but I find it odd that the game shows him in wvw and think it likely it could be happening to alot of people.

Shaojack.3871:

Unless you mess with their dolyaks, then they can be a lil nasty.

aha, so true. After that happened I’m pretty sure thats one of the first times I’ve seen all 4 of tc’s wvw queues full!

I for one, would like to give my thanks for raising cap on servers! By now probably everyone on TC knows my brother just bought gw2 and I’ve been trying to get him on this server about 2 weeks and was unsuccessful with blackouts.

AAAAAAAAND while I’m at it, might as well make this a recruitment thread for TC while servers are still open! Join the Toast! Probably all around friendliest server I’ve been on in any MMO!

Back at launch we had an aussie that led zergs (didnt have commader) thats name was pain train Miss that guy

edited to clarify… Meant shouldn’t have transferred to, what it looks like, strongest server in this tier.

ughh, so Sor just got a guild in it with 9 commanders. Why dont you guys transfer over to 2nd or 3rd place servers -_-

On Another note, last night [Choo] and [CDS] we’re attacking Sunnyhill. Some of us glitched in the tower while the gate was still up and I was very proud to see everyone who glitched in jumped back out of the tower without taking advantage of the bug; and they did it without being asked or told to do so. Just another reason why I love SoR and the wonderful people I get to fight alongside every day

I KNEW CHOO HACKED! :p Just kidding obviously. You guys have a really powerful force, and its no fun when the culling begins just to see CHOO appearing in masses

For the Dolyaks! ^ lol you beat me!

Well I am not an RPer, just a pvp guy on a mature RP server. I CAN tell you one thing about RP’ers though… they DO NOT like their rp greifed. I think you guys at FA brought some non pvp’ers out tonight

lol theres a queue right now for fabl on TC

If you guys haven’t noticed, “unofficial rp servers” typically have a more mature playerbase. Thats why I always roll them…. I don’t even like rping…. but back on track: Was a good fight tonight in EB at durios, all 3 servers fighting over it.

TBH both FA and YB are really good servers. By far the funnest three week period of wvw I’ve had in this game (and thats not just because TC is winning) There are great guilds on both servers and in Eb at least, neither server can be ran over in their keeps. Siege placement for both servers have increased quiet a bit. I’ve noticed this week that commanders on our server have had a much harder time taking keeps. Also yesterday FA did an amazing job defending their supply camp, took us 2 wipes with a decent sized zerg before we took it.

Arcadio.6875:

I think it’s more accurate to say we are transferring away from FA than transferring to another server. TC was picked because it has what FA lacks. killer touched on some key points, but I think Derv can explain it best if he wants to.

Yeah. Welcome nonetheless. This game shouldn’t be a job for anyone, people are in it for fun. I can understand sometimes in large guilds it turns into a job and fun can be lost. If thats the case, again welcome!

So what are you transferring for?

Relentliss.2170:

Tbh I am a bit tired of this match up. It was ok for a while but its gotten repetative.

While I agree that the same match-up gets repetative after a while, I would rather have these great fights that are constant around the map instead of us dominating all 4 maps or a higher-tier server dominating all 4 maps against us like what has happened in the past.

Awesomesauce.9528:

Some back story regarding the incident.

Recently, in Tier 3 (Tarnished Coast v. Yak’s Bend v. Fort Aspenwood), one of our [Tarnished Coast] players decided to amass a huge army of siege golems that he had been saving up for quite a while. Though we had them built for quite some time, we never used them, so instead, we stored them at Rogue’s Quarry. Come 1:00 A.M. EST, when people were tired and beginning to log off, our server had the brilliant idea to launch an all out siege on the Eternal Battleground with our 41 golem army, some of which were omegas.

After we finally got into the golems, we were excited beyond belief. We wanted blood. We NEEDED blood. So when one of our commanders told us to attack Quentin Lake first with the army, instead, in a furious hivemind stupor, we attacked Stonemist head-on.

This video documents those fateful six minutes.

Enjoy.

(Note: I did not take the video.)

Mwahahaha yes this is my video.
And agreed to the above comment about people starting to log off. We did the golem strike while we had no queue and everyone was going to bed. It was poorly executed and I was quiet intoxicated at the time, but never the less it was fun and funny. I know all the people that were butthurt about us wasting that many golems, but the guy who gave them all up still gives golems for good causes even after this (not on this scale). Really it was mostly in good fun for laughs, not some striking tactical decision made to try and sweep the map (obviously).
