raykor.6723 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 ANET makes money when players transfer servers—they charge quite a few gems. So how about a system that allows players to queue up for a transfer from one full server to another full server. The net is obviously no change in the server population so I don't see how this would hurt anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 ANet wants high pop server populations to spread out to other servers, that's why some worlds will be marked 'full' even if they have somewhat fewer total WvWers. Full→Full transfers extend this problem, so I doubt it's something that will interest ANet much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Except it can create such a long queue that newer players, or players later on, will be unlikely to go to that server. Another thing that could happen, however unlikely, is that players can use alt accounts to take up slots in the queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Here's the Dev post explaining what the learned Illconceived Was Na is referring to:https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/wuv/World-Population-Changes-Are-Coming/page/5#post5326517Samuel LoretanA “Full” server is a server with a number of Active WvW Players (as defined by the algorithm) above a certain threshold. It has nothing to do with hardware limitations, or PvE players.The “Full” threshold is slightly different than the other ones because it doesn’t have an upper limit. So some servers can be just slightly above the threshold and marked “Full”, and some other servers might be well over it, and also marked “Full”, even though their populations aren’t really balanced.The intent is that since you can’t join or transfer to a “Full” server, their populations are going to diminish over time, until eventually they reach “Very High” again. At this point, all “Full” servers are going to be balanced. This won’t be right away, though, since we’re not kicking anyone out of their servers.

Solvar.7953 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I wonder if they could add some mechanism in for players to pay other players (in gems/gold) to move off a full server to make room for them (with Anet taking a percentage of that, just like the trading post). It seems to me that if you are on a full server, there isn't really any incentive to leave it. Where as is someone said "I'll pay 100 GP to take your spot on this server", you might get some people leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
