Most servers haven't even started their campaign. I expect Vizunah to fall down the ladder once, Augury and Arborea start kicking. As for Whiteside Ridge, we still are baddies but some Guilds are more present than others (like [rddt])

Yeah, French servers seem to be the only ones that can beat Desolation ._. All four times I've seen us not winning, it was to the French.

Hi guys, before free server transfer closes, does anybody know which server is a good bet for organised WvW and sPvP?

Im on far shiverpeaks atm and they seem to be one of the best for WvW but i know nothing of any servers sPvP populations, and i would probably be playing that mostly once ive got the PvE out of my system...

And any websites that have alot of good info on all of this? the official forums and gw2guru seem so unorganised and a giant mess lol.

Peace ~ Capped

I was on Gunnars Hold for a while and most WvWvW's there were very organized even though it was just randoms and the server dominated so much that there were points where people had nothing to do except zerging their main portal gate and hitting their invulnerability shields.

But since WvWvW rotations change daily it's really hard to say how servers are doing right now.

Honestly I swapped to Desolation because Whiteside was sucking so hard. Found some buddies, not looked back.

well, currently the russian zerg of shiverpeaks is beating desolation.

it was stupid, at 4 am they still had like 300 people of that russian greenfire guild running around on all the maps.
i wouldnt want to play on it though, those russians tend to be really annoying in the chat.

i was scouting on a french server today and they are really highly organized. They even collect money from everyone on the map to buy waypoint upgrades and big sieges. It was on fort ranick, though.

Yeah, we noticed that. My guilds just taking it pretty casually at the moment, not much point spending lots of gold on upgrades when it doesn't make much difference over 24hours.

I think there is a bit of overrreaction regarding the WvWvW success of different realms. We are doing well now in the current matchup. Give it a few more days.

too early to say whether whiteside is bad or if zerging is simply the dominating force, which it is.

oh, and the ladder is not working.

Is GW 2 Recommended?
Some feedback on the game would be nice.

I heard the developers were key members in developing Warcraft,Starcraft,Diablo and the battle net client.
So i thought i check it out.

I don't do WvWvW very often, but I know Vizunah has some excellent tacticians on the /t during the matches.
It helps a ton.

I don't know, but the three ArenaNet founders were with Blizzard and one of them left.

German magazine Gamestar rates it with 9.1:

http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/guild-wars-2/wertung/44574.html

User average on gamespot is 9.1, too:

Most people think it's fun.

I personally think it lacks a challenge. It's very fun, has great panorama-views but it does really feel more like a theme-park than a simulation of a real world.

does anyone know how i get all the players rendered in mass pvp??

when i fight in zergs around towers or keeps (basically any structures), my game refuses to render the players.
Its like there is a hardcap programmed into the game. My FPS is still at 30, i can see all the spell effects, but i can absolutely not see the enemies, i cant even target them!

Is there some hidden ini file, where i can increase the amount of players shown at once or something?

out in the open i had the game render like 100 players, but near keeps and towers, it goes down to 20, its pretty stupid.

Can I join the guild please?
I've tried to PM some people but most are offline. FYI I PM'd Yara Paleleaf and he/she said they are no longer in TL and asked if you could remove them from the OP.

there is a .dat file but I'm not sure if it's able to be edited without a sc2 style re-download on launch

I'll probably transfer from my server to WhitesideRidge to join the guild. It is not full yet, is it? Anyone knows when they will stop free server transfer, other than "when things calmed down"?

WR is a medium server and we still have space, we're at about 170 members and if we pay some gold we can up our cap to 500

They reopened the digital sales. On Friday, they'll probably make a decision about their current servers. If they don't change anything, expect the free transfer offers to be cancelled soon after that. On the bigger scale, it's all tied to WvW and if people keep queing for more than 30min in this instance they will be forced to open more worlds and thus allow free (or cheaper) transfer.
