Which servers do you folks feel will have the best competition and higher pops of pvp focused players/guilds?

I dont need to be on the best server but I certainly want to be in one of the best clusters (with servers rotating every 2 weeks).

Fact of the matter is after a couple months of the servers balacing the level of competitive pvp on the better servers will be much different than the low clusters.

Servers that are getting rolled get matched up against other servers that have not performed well (whether due to lack of participation or poor player skills). On the other hand the top servers that end up facing each other regularly will develope much better players/guilds, the competiiton level will be much higher and more players will be participating at all hours.

Which servers do you guys feel have already established the higher end communities?

Disclaimer: I have a few RL friends who will be rolling with me and they are not into the competitive scene so transfers down the line would not be an option for them. Where I select during EA will most likely be my home forever.

How do we know what servers will be available at this time? I can't imagine how anyone would have a clue until we have live servers to see where individual guilds and alliances head

Darkhaven has been consistantly the highest scoring server in WvW through out beta, and will probably carry through to launch because the communities have established themselves to some degree already.

Sea of Sorrows is a consistantly great one too.

The launch server list is supposed to be what the last beta's server list was, as in it's not supposed to change.

Is Darkhaven the 4chan one?

Darkhaven roflstomped everyone. They will probably be ranked number 1 for a quite some time after launch. Darkhaven is the Reddit server. 4chan is going to Anvil Rock.

My guild was on GoM and we utterly and completely crushed Darkhaven.

Yes we wanted to move away from the large alliances and have found several like minded guilds that plan on rolling Blackgate. Decisive Action made the decision to play on GoM for BWE3 a month before any large alliance announced GoM as their server for BWE3.

That was a weird BWE. I was on FA and while I personally wasn't doing a WHOLE lot of WvW, I was aware we were paired with GoM two times consecutively (and then again at the stress test). And we destroyed you guys the first time. I wonder what changed from Saturday to Sunday.

The horrible que bug that allowed unfair number advantages on Sat. It affected all the matches on Sat. Anet patched it and it improved Sun.

Joining a competitive guild or alliance and rolling on the server they select is really the only way to ensure you have like minded people to play with. 

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/32389-world-choice-guilds-and-communities/

Here's a list of server communities.  It's outdated though.

I dont think people will want to join the so called hardcore PvP servers, as you might be in queue all night to enter the WvWvW playgrounds.

But then people dont know what they want, so all so called hardcore PvP players please join the same server, so you can start complaining right from the start.

I'm on Jade Quarry all the Darkfall guilds are on there.

List of guilds for Jade Quarry can be found here :) http://www.jadequarry.com/main

Also, if two sports teams play each other 10 times, the same team usually won't win all 10 games.  Just because you win one round doesn't mean you wouldn't lose if you played again.  It just means you won that one round.  

actually you cannot tell yet which server will be the most competitve until launch.

if you based it during bwes, there were several servers.

bottom line is all the servers will be competitve after launch.

lets say you joined server 1 and matched up against server 2 and 3

server 2 is winning youre gonna think server 2 is dominating.

then this guy is in server 4 and matched up against server 5 and 6

server 4 is winning, same thing theyl think.

so you cant really tell if your server is the best because you dont get to fight all the servers alteast yet, who knows.
