Any reason? I'd like us to have a reason to roll on a particular server.
Mostly:
1. Avoid larger internet communities
2. Avoid Annoying Guilds (Good Squad et al).
3. Avoid Low-Population Servers
Basically, find a mid-tier server with one of the better larger guilds and a decent PvP population, but not overwhelming.
That knocks out Maguuma, Anvil Rock, Jade Quarry, Furnace, Sorrows, Darkhaven, Gate of Madness, Janthir, Rall, Eredon Terrace, Tarnished Coast, Ferguson's Crossing, Emhry Bay.
Yak's would be the most populated of what is left over. Crystal Desert or Fort Aspenwood probably has the better PvP options. DragonBrand and Blackgate fall in the middle.

I suppose I will, too. I have no input yet as to what server we should officially choose... I'll research that and get going on the Vent tonight.

Good idea. Let me know what you think. I don't think the non-serious will care. We just have to inform them and make sure they know.

That's just the one I'm getting on. Some friends are rolling that one and I think they are in a small guild (I think it's called Rage or something). And like you said, it's not a real heavy populated server.

Not Stress Tests, we are on Sorrow's Furnace for the time being.
EDIT: Sorry for the sudden leave. Duty calls.

Hop on board that's what this thread is for. As for server I am fine with anything.

I had a crash, but it was time for me to leave anyway. Hope we have more short windows of opportunity before the 25th.

And not during the middle of the work day.

They had some serious balance changes for this stress that were untold before the test.
Guardians were gutted. I'm ticked. Paragons all over again.
Necros, Mesmers, Thieves buffed. Rangers and Warriors about even. Eles and Engies also nerfed.

Do you have a link to exact details? I sensed that the Necro was pretty effective while playing it this afternoon. I was doing a ton of damage with all of my AoE attacks.
It's good that Mesmers have gotten a boost, just because illusions were previously more useless than Ranger pets. Not sure about the Thief - my problems with it were its generic blandness, not its lethality.

Damage and Healing decreased across the board for the most part. So it's a big shift in mechanics.

Agreed. Mesmers needed it. Thieves.... Just take a ton of skill. More than once I was killed in under 5 secs by a thief. Rangers, classically seen as top tier, weren't gutted like Guardians though. Guardians healing took a MAJOR hit, so much so I don't know why they keep the mechanic in.

Well crap, this is what I was planning on rolling.

Can someone explain the 30 Hall of Monument point thing from playing GW1 and how valuable area they? I haven't played it in years so I would have to start from scratch playing GW1.

It was nice to play yesterday with no rubber banding. It had been son long since I'd seen it I forgot how annoying it is.
