Hi guys, After some long deliberation I've narrowed down our official server choices to two potentially awesome launch servers. I'll break down the pros/cons for you guys as I see 'em below and leave the choice to you. Fort Aspenwood: +Popular server +Alliance formed: Circle of Aspenwood Alliance +Tons of other guilds +Upper tier WvW performance throughout the beta events -High population, especially in WvW, this means likely WvW queue times -Tons of other guilds. Large guilds ensure WvW coverage around the clock, but could also impact your ability to get in and get involved yourself Jade Quarry: +ex-DAOC Vet Server +Alliance formed: Jade Legion Alliance +14 (30-ish player) guilds dedicated WvW guilds declared on GW2Guilds.org +Solid WvW performance during beta events -Not as popular or full of large guilds. This means WvW territory could face issues without a strong round-the-clock presence from hardcore guilds. Personally, I'm leaning towards Aspenwood at this point, but I am concerned about potential WvW queues. I feel Jade Quarry may have a more positive (mature) community experience, but may not be as competitive in WvW as Aspenwood looks to be. So, what say you?!

Well I will be playing on Sanctum of Rall. The story behind it is just amazing and also, I don't like playing for the big-dogs. I'd love to join you guys but me and a buddy already got a guild made over there, but best to luck for ya and i'm sure we will be seeing each-other at some point :)
EDIT: O and if worse comes to worse I can just transfer over to you guys haha. The "Youtube Pro": Someone who watches video's on said subject, and obviously has a full understanding of what is being said about such subject. |

no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Was already heading to Jade Quarry. The WvsWvsW is already pretty organised, and there were a lot less immature people than from Sorrow's Furnace and Darkhaven.
What happens when you log off your characters????..... |

Originally posted by Istavaan I'd prefer Jade Quarry if I had to pick between the two as well. Winning in WvWvW doesn't mean crap if you don't actually get to participate. WvWvW isn't going to be one of those things that people play heavy for the first month then stop, that's what's got the most people interested. Picking an already high-pop server is just asking for a reason to complain about pvp queues. "Forums aren't for intelligent discussion; they're for blow-hards with unwavering opinions." |

So, with the whole queue potential problem in Fort I wonder why you and Grakulen voted for Fort?? After reading your post you had me convinced Jade was the server for us, until I read the last part....either is fine for me. |

Originally posted by Kuppa I said I was leaning towards FA, not that I voted for it. Take that how you will. I would just vote for whatever you feel is best and let the chips fall where they may. We can always move together post launch if we are unhappy where we are (server transfers will be free for a bit). Michael "MikeB" Bitton |

One more thing, do any of these servers have timezones? Haven't seen any info about that anywere so Im assuming no, but I might be wrong.

Originally posted by Kuppa All NA servers are located in Texas, IIRC. So, no. There are NA servers and EU servers and that's it. Michael "MikeB" Bitton |

I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall.
