Adding more servers (easiest and is going to happen aways)

Adding a second copy of WvW (complicated but do able)

Basically, once a zone becomes full, another copy of WvW is opened were the number if people any one team can have is only 1.5x the number of the lowest populated server. This additional soft cap would only kick in after a minimum of 30 is reached meaning if one zone only has 1 person another zone can still have 30. Point adjustment would have to be made though. \

Adding more zones to WvW (tricky, would require map design changes)

Increasing WvW hard cap (potential lag fest)

I think they were a bit too humble with their number of starting servers. This is worse than BWE3 when they had even fewer. Frankly, I had a shit-load more fun when it was a ton of servers with only a handful of one whichs were High. But World vs World was always available.

I fear they will add more servers after the "Free Transfer" period is up, which will be complete BS if you ask me. Currently there is no point to Transfer, ALL the servers are High or Full.

Don't queue for the eternal one.. that one lasts forever.

Thanks for the tip. I have been in queue for 30 minutes already. ;(

That's not wwhat ArenaNet wants. This is not a Battlegrounds, it's one instance per server. That instance is suppose to represent ONE SERVER.

One Instance = One WHOLE server.

This means "multiple instances" are completely out of the question.

They cannot increase the cap on WvW either, as it is balanced a certain way.

The only way to let more people join, at present, is to open more servers.

well there are already like 3 seperate ones why not more ?

 

Because WvWvW is league table based, measured on the performance of those servers in a persistent zone for the period of the contest.  Once the contest is over the winning server moves up the table, and which server fights which is recalculated.

but thats his point. it has 4 maps, why not 5, 6, or even 7 maps?

So good luck with queues(until at least the number of players decreases and stabilizes).

This would work but atm Ide rather a few new servers be added. Going to overflow everytime I zone is getting old.

As far as the WvW ques, most complaints are people that only que Eternal... that is a fact. I play on Gate of Madness and although Eternal que is horrid at times... I can always hop into one of the borders.

Not necessarily, as I've stated above. Its just very tricky to pull off code wise.

going into Overflow is actually a bonus sometimes to me.

I always try to finish a DE and if I get to transfer back to my server from Overflow, after the DE and the Nodes, once I transfer, they are back up and I get to use the Node immediately again and the DE again. 

And also GW2 is not without problems, there is a bug currently affecting one of the Charr starting zone skill challenges, its only doable in the Overflow. So that in itself is cool.
