lousiest August 23, 2012 Author Share lousiest Member August 23, 2012 Visited the web-sites of a number of guilds from both servers. Many had active communities with beautifully designed web-sites. Some were empty wikis/forums. Found no objectionable web-sites/guilds, but this could be due to the fact that all guilds are screened before being added to http://www.gw2guilds.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieChan August 23, 2012 Share JackieChan GC Alumni August 23, 2012 Blackgate sounds cooler. Plus I hated the Crystal Desert in the first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValenAlvern August 23, 2012 Share ValenAlvern Member August 23, 2012 Hope the population keeps increasing for Blackgate since I wont have the game on launch would like to play in a high populated server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousiest August 23, 2012 Author Share lousiest Member August 23, 2012 (edited) Hope the population keeps increasing for Blackgate since I wont have the game on launch would like to play in a high populated server. I'm not sure what the pop cap for servers are, but Blackgate has the 2nd or 3rd highest pop currently, so it might get full if the pop keeps rising. Why won't you be able to play on launch. Even if it's just to create your char to reserve a spot on the server. edit: I personally prefer higher pop servers, but it can be a problem for GC members who are joining in late Edited August 24, 2012 by lousiest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousiest August 24, 2012 Author Share lousiest Member August 24, 2012 Here are the numbers for Jade Quarry: Number of guilds : 119 Number of alliances : 4 Number of players : 4,612 Further breakdown of guilds: Casual vs Semi-Hardcore vs Hardcore Guilds % of casual guilds : 44% % of semi-hardcore guilds : 48% % of hardcore guilds : 8% PvE vs PvP vs WvW vs PvX vs RP Guilds % of PvE guilds : 5% % of PvP guilds : 11% % of WvW guilds : 21% % of RP guilds : 3% % of PvX guilds : 60% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousiest August 24, 2012 Author Share lousiest Member August 24, 2012 (edited) Jade Quarry has a high % of WvW guilds. Granted, PvX guilds also consider themselves to be a part of WvW, but my guess is having more specifically WvW guilds gives the server a stronger presence in WvW, maybe?

Biggs August 24, 2012 Share Biggs GC Alumni August 24, 2012 Won't there be a ton of players not affiliated with any guild? Myquestion: Do these percentages actually mean anything? I also picked Blackgate cause it sounds cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousiest August 24, 2012 Author Share lousiest Member August 24, 2012 Not sure if the percentages mean anything Just put them there for your info. Yup, there will be players not with any guilds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggs August 24, 2012 Share Biggs GC Alumni August 24, 2012 Heya folks! If you're looking for server suggestions, the people over at mmorpg are all starting on Jade Quarry and Ashenfort. There's a huge following over there, that server should be jumpin. I'm totally gonna be there at launch. Should be 11PM CST on 8/24 if they do the "early" early access, right? P.s. it's good seeing you guys in here (lousiest, jc, etc)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samurai nightling August 24, 2012 Share samurai nightling Member August 24, 2012 I voted Blackgate, because it sounds cool and has a ton of the PvX guilds, which I like both PvE and PvP so its fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
