Guild Wars 2 Joooooin Usss

[Gorion]

I don't see any issues, apart from starting back from square one.  Depending on the amount of people playing from the same world, a deadstart might not be a massive setback.  One can be in multiple guilds too, however you must be representing a guild to gain influence for said guild.  Unfortunately, the multi-guild representation feature was the most frustrating issue I had to deal with on a daily basis, as dMw'ers and other recruits were representing other guilds.

With the megaserver thing, one doesn't even need to be on the same world to play together.  However influence earned is assigned to that specific server, unless they changed it.  The same logic applies to guild bonuses.

In the end, server selection only becomes crucial when taking into consideration WvWvW (Large scale PvP).

You'd have to ask sith. From what I understand he was underway and he's decided to use the existing guild.

Which one exactly? The new one in Underworld, or the old one in Gandara?

[Galatoni]

New one. He set it up

[smilodon]

I've just joined a dMw Guild on Underworld? I assume it is the current one? I guess it's ultimately down to the Game Leader which is the official server and Guild. I'd like to know at some point as I can re-roll easily enough being level 20. I'm not sure about how others would feel though.

[Gorion]

Originally at GW2 launch, dMw was on Gandara in a guild called Deadmen.  The dMw population over there died out after some months.  I can't recall the exact number but it was a couple of months after the Fractal dungeons were out, just about when guild dungeons were released.

Now, depending on how advanced the new guild on Underworld (Upgrades) is, then it might be, or might not be worth reconsidering which server to play on.

Other server considerations need to be done depending on the playstyle wanted.  PvE means whichever.  PvP (WvWvW) is a different story entirely as it's servers against each other, and servers with low pop or PvE oriented players will result in a WvWvW disaster.  Previousely (not sure now), leading in a WvWvW war meant server wide bonuses.

[Sneakytiger]

yeah underworld is the server we are on now.

[Gorion]

Unfortunately, Underworld is one of the worst servers to play on, as it's ranked 26 out of 27 and that means that the WvWvW bonuses which can climb to considerable levels, suck.  I still recall that we used to capture their entire WvWvW area when they were up against Gandara back in the day.  Now it seems that they have sunk to the bottom.

Gandara is ranked 9 out of 27, and those bonuses are handy both for beginners, and max level players.  Going to a better ranked world might result in server login queues.

Max bonuses:

Artisan: 20% increased chance of crafting critical success.
Defender: 10% increased defense against monsters.
Energetic: 10% endurance regeneration bonus.
Gatherer: 20% chance of additional gathering node uses
Medic: 10% increased healing effectiveness
Robust: 10% increased maximum health
Scavenger: 10% bonus coin per kill.
Wisdom: 10% bonus experience per kill.

Don't ignore those bonuses, 10, or 20 % might look negligible but you'll need them in the future.

Wow so nice to see Guild Wars has got its own thread now!
Gorion I'm not sure what to say about the server selection, I don't want anyone spending money to server hop, because I wouldn't want to do it either

Otherwise great to have all of you Dead Men in the guild, cant wait to see you all in game :-D

[Gorion]

It had a section since 2012 mate, but it was in the graveyard.

Re server selection, being on the wrong server will hurt you in the long and short run.  Most of the players are relatively new, so restarting wouldn't be that much of an issue.  Those combat oriented benefits are critical once you start doing fractals past level 10, or raids.

 Transferring assets should also be possible since one can guest on a different server.  

If you want to wait till the higher levels, it might not cost any real life cash, as you can buy gems with gold.

Anyhow, throw an invite to LydonB.6293 , I can help around once I'm reacquainted with all the changes they made.
