So after I finished with EVE for yesterday just before I went to sleep (about 2am) I got the e-mail, so I got hyped and started the download, falling asleep while watching Destiny play in a tournament.. I fell asleep. Then I woke up with the GW2 login screen mid-night (around 5am) with music playing and I was like.. WOAH WOAH WHATS GOING ON WHATS THIS WHERE AM I.. lol.. so I shut it down in a panic. Then I realized again and started it up just to try to log in (because I noticed the 'online' tag there and thought it was a status of server and not what it really is).. so I tried to log in.. and nothing (ofc ) but I turned the pc off happy I am ready for the weekend and passed out again.. lol.

I intend to play this week end aswell, I presume that the majority of people will be playing on the US servers from TL?

Edit: just looked at the thread title, is there a certain server on EU that we are all going to playing on ?

I vote for Whiteside Ridge. Since the EU part of Reddit will probably join there. Since I was playing in the GW1 guild of Reddit, most of the people there are really friendly.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/srmfg/homeworlds_of_various_online_communities_for/

The above link has a post where all the online communities will probably play.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/srmfg/homeworlds_of_various_online_communities_for/

Here is a List of communities and their choices.
I would stay away from everything that has a 4chan behind it and a specific language.
I think of Whiteside or Riverside. But maybe i have to join Elona Reach when I want to play with some friends.

Edit: haha seems I am late :D

Beta charachters aren't saved right? So making whatever for "beta" is just always to check the game out and never to take it fourth into the live release of the game. So why is the point of making stuff on beta realms?

Because these communities will probably use their beta servers as their live servers. Some servers are already "claimed" as RP servers and others are "claimed" by some countries. Some servers will probably have loads of Russians or French people and that will be the language that will be spoken most of the time.

I'd like to be in a English speaking server (Even if I am Dutch) because that is more fun for me.

I think Whiteside Ridge is the best option. Not "claimed" by a nationality, has the main reddit community AND Gametrailers, will probably be a worthwhile server. Plenty of people means good WvWvW as well.

Well he's not replying, so, I don't know anymore.

Also, I can't join you in this weekend. Something came up, so, I'm sorry.

Exactly, it also has a boring name. Which means that it will not be flooded with 12 year olds.

Ok, my thought process behind "Kodash" is:

-It's not the first or last options (the ones that people might automatically pick).
-It's not one of the 'badass' sounding servers (like "Underworld", "Fissure of Woe", "Abaddon's Mouth", "Desolation", etc) that will entice a lot of kiddies.
-It's easy to abbreviate, eg. KD, KDSH, KDash, K-, etc.
-It doesn't have any real-world racial connotations, eg. Whiteside or Blacktide.
-It doesn't have any GW1 faction connotations, like "Jade Sea" (Luxon faction, mostly).

Of course, this isn't the only one that fits my personal criteria, but it was my primary choice. I am, of course, certainly flexible and willing to go with whatever TL decides.

Whiteside will have a large community (everyone knows what happens to small community servers in MMOS), a nice community (Reddit + TL), a name that won't attract loads of kids.

The fact that you saw the words white and black and saw racial connotations as opposed to colours potentially speaks a lot about you though.

Lol calm down bro. I'm just trying to think of all the possible reasons why certain servers might attract the wrong kinds of people.

edit - I know it's a stretch and I know it seems like reading too much into things, but considering we'll likely have to pay real money to change our home-worlds after choosing one, I want to explore every possible way to eliminate the choices.

We don't need to talk about this really since it's irrelevent to the topic at hand, but I think this is a silly factor.


I like Kodash, but with no community having "claimed" it on Reddit (as of yet), I wouldn't want to end up on a dead server.

Obviously beta server doesn't have to be where we stay, but I think going where there is apparently nobody of note (so far, I know they only went up today) doesn't seem like the BEST plan

I honestly don't think that server population, or lack of it, is going to be an issue. I could be wrong though.

edit- And they're all 'silly factors', btw. We're choosing a server for a game, based on their names. Lol.

I'm choosing it based on how many people I think might populate it. Underpopulated server = shitty WvW. Reddit + TL combined server = unlikely to be underpopulated or short of reasonable players

EDIT: And it's highly possible population is. As much as this looks like the best game in the history of forever, I've played a lot of the big MMOs from launch, too many to be TOO optimistic. The lack of the sub fee is pretty damn helpful at least.

Yea, I mean it's definitely worth considering that as a possibility. I don't want to play on a dead server either. However, several of the accounts (anecdotal evidence incoming) I've heard from people who've played GW2 already have frequently mentioned the large amounts of people and how well the overflow system works. So, I guess that if there's been a need for overflow servers already, pre-BWE, then either aNet are doing something really wrong, or there's gonna be a massive player-base.

Given that, as you say, the Reddit GW community have claimed it and are a nice bunch, that's definitely points in favor of Whiteside Ridge.
