re: Guild Wars 2 Release - Home server

0
Adam (some of you know him as Milkwagon) has been doing quite a bit of research on home servers for us. Because the only impact a home server will have is in WvW PvP, that is where he has focused his research.

Looks like quite a few of the old school DAoC and Warhammer world PVP guilds are focused on a couple servers. These guilds are apparently known for their organization of world PVP in previous games and they are going to one of 2 servers: Either Jade Quarry or Sorrows Furnace. Looks like Jade Quarry is winning the battle currently.

We will continue to monitor, but joining a server where the strong organizers of World PVP live is a sound theory IMO and I think we seriously consider the server that wins out on their debate/voting.

If anyone else is doing any research on home servers, please post here. I will make sure there is a final decision put in this thread before opening day, so we can all join the same server, and this time, the decision on which server to join will have some thought behind it (ahem, Nalen).

Kisses and Gropes!

Great to hear you will be playing, Chyler!

I have a couple of friends who will likely be joining us on our home server.

Looking forward to grouping together :D

Thib expressed interest in having us join up with his other buddies, but I don't know whether or not they know what realm they're going to play on. Other than that, as far as I know it's still TBD. A terribad schedule has kept me from hopping on vent when everyone is around, so I could be out of the loop.

Someone tell me where we're setting our Home server to come August 25th?! Got Milkwagon on board from this past BWE3 event, so now just need to know what home server we're going to choose. It's $22.50 (in gems) to change Home servers once you've picked one.

FYI, Home server affects WvWvW only really. PvE-wise, you can play with anyone on any World server at any time.

Home world
When a player logs on to Guild Wars 2 for the first time they are asked to select a home world. This is the world the player represents in World versus World PvP. How well the world plays WvW determines the bonuses the player receives from the power of the Mists. This is the only advantage to world selection and WvW is the only game type which prevents players from different worlds playing together.

Changing to another home world will cost 1,800 and can only be done once every seven days.[1] In addition, after changing to a new home world, players will lose their power of the Mists bonuses until the beginning of the next World versus World match.[2]
