Launch Server Selection

698 weeks ago

So far, our original server Ehmry Bay is looking to be what we're looking for. We still have almost a month though, so we'll see how it goes up until then.

My vote goes for Gate Of Madness server, the reason is mostly the mature guilds that will play there, my biggest worry about the server is to join one with too many idiots.
I know I'll find them everywhere but still, I know that probably I won't be able to change servers ever so I want to choose right.

This turned me off to Gates of Madness. More zerg alliances everywhere you look.

Keep your eyes on Ehmry Bay

I don't know, I mean on one hand I don't want to get stuck on a scrub server where we get our asses handed to us constantly in WvW. I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing to have alliances for more organized WvW. It's possible GoM could become a strong competitor against TL's alliance which sounds fun to me. Also sometimes the zergs serve as a nice distraction so smaller groups like ours can do our own thing.

I'm not worried about PvE because of the guesting feature, and sPvP is all cross server anyways. My main concern is getting stuck on a server where WvW is dead.

That thread actually showed a lot of class to come out and publicly apologize like that. A lot of alliances act like they run the server and can do whatever they want. So for them to show that level of respect to the rest of the community shows a lot of maturity and makes me think that GoM could have a pretty solid community.

My loyalty is to ApeX but that doesn't mean I think that the rest of the server doesn't matter. I don't have the mindset that everyone not in ApeX can go fuck themselves because that's not what ApeX is about. Not saying anyone here does either, just saying that there is life outside of the guild as well. Having a good server community can make the game that much more fun. This is just my opinion, but right now I think GoM is looking like a good place to be.

You should actually keep reading that thread. They are pretty much the definition of a zerg.

14 guilds big, mass recruit spamming on reddit, talking shit to people who they think are inferior because they're not in their alliance = lawls.

Either way I wouldn't be worried about being on a dead server since there's a hardcap of 150 people in WvW, I don't think it'll be that hard to have it active seeing as most guilds have 20-30 people and they rotate matchups based on rankings anyway.

Yeah, I didn't realize how many more guilds they added. Last time I checked they were only like 6 or so. Also didn't know about the 150 cap. When Anet was bragging about having over 500 people per server I didn't realize they meant across all 4 maps. A bit disappointing actually, hopefully they raise that up. Now I actually see the appeal in rolling in a lower pop server.

Yeah getting stuck in a queue while trying to make a guild event work wont be nice at all.

I totally missed that, thanks for pointing it out.

And yeah Gate Of Madness isn't a good choice probably, that said I'll stick to whatever server you guys decide to roll on.

That site is only a small fraction of the players who will be playing GW 2. I don't think it will allow us to predict mid/high pop servers. We aren't even sure whether there will be any choice in terms of population, since we don't know how many servers they will have at launch, and how they will roll out those servers. The site is a good place to find other guilds that could make up the foundation for a solid server community, but I doubt we will be able to find our desired server population outside of waiting until after launch, if that.
