CC Eva Community Coordinator Hello everyone. Connor, when you see a server FULL means that it is full from people actually playing there at the moment, independently of where did they create their accounts. For example, if a player creates an account in Vizunah Square and then moves to Baruch Bay, then all the characters of this player will go to Baruch Bay and he will be counted among the total amount of players of Baruch.

Originally posted by sammyeli Not everyone knew that all your alts are counted in player population. I have 5 alts, i can only imagine how many others have that many and more. That is why a lot of people wonder where all the players are even though server is FULL. Not that common sense bro. |

If you see no good or you see no bad in a game, chances are you are bias. |

Dear Player:
When you see "Server Full" message, it does not mean the server is actually full. Not having a number means that the numbers its set for can easily be influenced to whatever the create wants to make claims that is the population. Never should you use Server Population numbers to judge how well a game is doing as its a number easily able to be manipulated in order to make the game look as if its doing better then it really is. No, not just this game, every game that exists out there. Stop using those types of indicators as proof that population is or is not doing good in a game.
Thank you.

Okay, so this is settled. When server is full it means many people are online at that moment on that server. This image was taken one minuta ago:
At this very moment 21 servers are full, around 30 high and 5 servers on medium. There is no low populated server. |

So essentially, Full = players/5 Nice. Release a game with a very large established fanbase from 10+ years of bnet history when the market was still emerging and the casual base had not yet been established, thus ripe for harvesting a momentious self perpetuating playerbase people never leave because they have X hours invested in their characters, and their friends and everyone else plays anyway. Not discounting Blizzard quality... but WoW's success is as much about perfect timing as it is quality, if not more so. - Derros |

Thats what I read it as, it doesn't say anything about concuurent players. So my question is..
Can you transfer to a server thats says its full? This doom and gloom thread was brought to you by Chin Up™ the new high caffeine soft drink for gamers who just need that boost of happiness after a long forum session. |

It was manipulated in SWTOR and TERA and the rabid defenders of GW2 always use it thinking it isn't being manipulated in GW2.
Heck, right now TERAs servers are listed as "high" meaning they may experience "regular queues". LOL.
So why was my server full back when there were 2 hour queues and 130 matches going on in Spvp over a month ago and it's still full now with no queue in WvW and 30 matches going on?
GW2 must have a lot of people AFK right? No, it's just being manipulated.

Originally posted by muffins89 No. Once again it means actual players playing on those servers. As was mentioned above what low, medium, high, and full actually mean are subjective to the game and application settings. |

Originally posted by Whitebeards I didn't knwo this was common practice in mmos to post a server status and then say well these servers are full because there are 1 million registered here. damn common sense tell me whats right and whats wrong. |

That explanation is worded poorly because it can be interepreted in 2 ways at the same time, and both interpretations contradict each other. To me the first line when he says "Full means it is full from people actually playing there at the moment" implies concurrency. However, the following sentence contradicts that implication because it is talking about alts and all characters of the account being counted among the total players on the server. I don't know if this contradictory wording was intentional or not, but it cleared things up about as well as mud.

Originally posted by Whitebeards You guys must have misunderstood. Community manager Eva only explained what does transfering account to another server means - it means all your characters will be transfered to new server. Quote: "or example, if a player creates an account in Vizunah Square and then moves to Baruch Bay, then all the characters of this player will go to Baruch Bay and he will be counted among the total amount of players of Baruch.# It's singular. You can't play several alts at the same time. All characters are counted as one account. |

No. Once again, read it carefully. The player is counted (singular) where they are actually playinig at the moment (whatever server they are on) regardless of where they created their characters. All the characters on the account are counted towards the server they are on now, NOT where they were created. It is saying the exact opposite of what you're saying and is to explain that all the characters on the account DON'T count towards concurrent population. However, as has been pointed out, "Full" is subjective. The number of concurrent players on a server that will flag the status as "High" are all different between GW2, RIFT, WoW, EQ2, LotRO, AoC, etc., for every single game out there. |
