Guild Wars 2

[Valentine]

Not sure which server i will be playing on yet but a few things to note...

As no servers have been officially marked as "English/UK" other countries are picking servers to be their countries unofficial server, Ring of Fire - Russian, Blacktide - Polish. Although a lot of non UK people actually tend to speak English in game some really don't (Russians for example). Desolation and Gandara are the big UK ones but will most probably be full very quickly, and in GW2 when a server is full you can't create new characters on it so friends will be unable to join the server if not on it already.

The Mainly UK ones are:
Aurora glade
Desolation
Gandara
Gunnar's Hold
Seafarer“s Rest

Check EU Guilds | GW2 Guilds - An up to date list of guilds for Guild Wars 2 for more info.

Not sure which server I will be on either. It depends on which guild i join

Good job we will get free server transfers to begin with. Not long to wait now!

[ZeroHour]

I want to go on a server where everyone is derp. It starts at midnight?
Whats everyone going?

[ZeroHour]

On Desolation, they have opened early.

Can't wait for it, played GW1 a bit and enjoyed that.

Just pre-ordered the standard version for £35, not to be confused with the pre-purchased standard version for £50 (with early access). So I should be getting the game hopefully on the 28th or 29th... Got next week off to do my OU project... Not sure what's going to happen now

My copy arrived today so in the process of installing it at the moment. Looks like there's 5gb of updates to download after the install so that's gonna take about 10 hours to download on my home broadband connection! Should be on tomorrow evening

Did everyone join desolation ?

How do we add cross-server friends?

[Mako]

Completely missed updating this thread due to severe RL issues (moved house, broke my back but that's another fun tale). Just got internet in the house today. Me and my guild are on Gunnar's Hold. I realise now it's post-launch and most of you have made your choice but if you wish to hop over to Gunnar's Hold (or guest and have a look), shoot me a message.

My character name is Mako Fargrath.

Hope you're all enjoying the fun!

Apparently server choice only affects WvWvW combat (that's a mouthful!). For PvE content it doesn't matter. My brother explained it to me.

1) You pick a home server which dictates who you fight for in PvP.
2) Add people to your friends list.
3) Form a party and you join the leader on his server!

It also keeps punting people into an Overflow Server that is a mix of players from everywhere when they cannot get in to their home server. Unfortunately last night I found teaming broke with a new patch and had to solo.

Strange was working for me an my bro, and im on Gandara too... didnt know that home choice only affects PvP because I changed from Desolation to Gandara because Desolation was full and my bro couldnt join. Whats your guild like CAM?

[CAM]

It disbanded and reformed due to a bug. But I am on break already because NCSoft did something bad to the City of Heroes playerbase and we are now on boycott.

Mmmm celery powered with integrated graphics and Vista. You will probably have just as terrible results trying to play GW2 on an actual stick of celery. Had any luck finding a replacement?

Not Vista.

And no, I haven't found a replacement yet. Mainly, because I haven't been looking.

I got XBL at the beginning of the holiday and I've pretty much just been doing that. [Assassin's Creed multiplayer.]

Plus, I've been generally slacking off from various projects I've decided to do... I really need to focus mo... oh, a kitty!
