server merged?

[ratleur pigmy deceiver lvl 99]

Friend told me to download the game, now i dont know on what server he has his character. Does it matter for me? Do i have to be on the same server? Or can i start my character on any EU server? We are both EU.

you can server visit for open world stuff, but if you want to wvw with your friend, find out what server they're on, that's the only time it matters. guilds can be formed from char's on any server i think, idk if that's region restricted though.

You can make on any server, there is a megaserver structure so you can do all open world PVE things together even if account is on different server, just party up and usually you are in same instance, if not, then both switch to new instance.

And next month in few weeks when WvW (the open world pvp mode with castle sieges and stuff) also turns from Server based to Guild based (be in same guild and have it selected as your WvW guild, then you are both in same team together, can even make your own 2 person guild if wants for that) changes happen, the last thing that had any meaning of being on certain server goes away.

So yeah, easily can join any server as long as same region, EU in your case. And WvW goes from "Server wars" to matchmade "Guild Wars" (yes, imagine having actual Guilds warring in a game named Guild Wars. :P) It fills teams with big guilds, medium, small and solo players, so all sides have equal number of players.

In PVE server has no meaning as long as same region. Can always play together with friends on same region. And no gimmicks needed, as long as on same instance, but you know how that works if played any mmo game with instanced popular maps to overflow the pop when maps get too crowded, then can just party up and teleport to your friend and you are in same map again.

Biggest mistake ever. I know people who have been unable to play with their own friends from their own servers for over a month now due to power-hungry alliance leaders keeping them away. Lines are being drawn over this and it is already causing long-time players to quit.

Servers or BUST. This is a potential disaster waiting to happen.

Sorry but what..?

You can literally make even just 2 player guild by yourself if wants without it demanding anything, both marks it as their guild for WvW in the tickbox an voila, you will be always in same team in every matchup. :)

And same goes for more than 2. You can have that guild only be a "fake guild" so never needs to even grind anything or even own a guild house, but can use it just to team up. So can always be in same team and never care about the "Guild politics" or what they demand.

Use your brain to think this solution, i would have thought it as my first thought (and many i know do this), but obviously i am in a Guild myself that forms an Alliance, one with over 300 members. And i love the guild. :) And the change been fun so far. It takes a few matchups for the matcmaking to become accurate obviously. But been nice action.
