WvW name change?

With the way they are thinking about restructuring WvW, wouldn't make more since to call it Alliance Wars? Or Guild Wars? Or Alliance Battles. Kinda like we had in GW1?

Battle Royale

Guilds at war. =p

war of the guilds

faction wars or war of factions

hehe

How about "The Mist War"?

Train wars

Setting up alliances and doing some restructuring of wvw at same time could be renamed to alliance something. But the real risk is too many changes all at once killing the mode completely.

I'm guessing it'll be similar to the SPvP team names.

That's what the French call combat with cheeze.

I think it makes a lot of sense to change the name of the game mode as part of restructuring. My favorites from the list above (so far) are:

• Alliance Wars (from @Izanagi.7831)
• The Mist War (from @Chaba.5410)

And brainstorming a few more:

• Unstructured Players vs Players (uPvP, or uP for short)
• Realm vs Realm
• War of the Roses (because it's a fun, evocative name)
• Red versus Green versus Blue (RGB)

It's still going to be world vs world...Alliances will be a small part of the population...

it wasn't called SvS ( server vs Server vs Server) before the restructure why would it change now

just Guild Wars fits imo, or like Alliance At War

mist war makes sense. or even battle for the mists

Alliances will be a small part of the population...I think it's more likely that alliances will be at least a plurality:

• Individualists, without a WvW-related guild
• Unallied non-WvW Guilds
• Unallied WvW Guilds
• Allied Guilds

I think the first two groups will be the "small part" of the population. There will certainly be lots and lots of WvW Guilds that aren't part of alliances, but I think there will be far more people in the WvW guilds that are part of an alliance.

There are going to be worlds, not servers.

@XenesisII.1540 said:There are going to be worlds, not servers.Which means it will quite literally be World vs World vs World.

Imagine that.

Since the worlds won't be permanent let's call it Temporary World vs Temporary World vs Temporary World. :p

Look! It is amazing! Anet already implemented the name I suggested! Huzzah!

Wasted time on rebranding <,<This is what you'd ask of them

People move all the time, it doesnt make servers temporary does it? Even a 0 population world is still a world.

The realm of flying golems

well in gw1 you had something called Alliance Battle (AB), WvW prob has it's roots from there, so think that name would fit WvW.https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Alliance_Battles

@LetoII.3782 said:Wasted time on rebranding <,<This is what you'd ask of them

They are revamping the entire mechanic of how sides are created and matches determined. Rebranding fits in as part of that same effort.

It got it's roots from dark age of camelot realm vs realm system, which had 3 separate sides/realms in battle that took place on the same server/shard/world.

The alliance battle of gw1 had 3 parties of 4 players together in a battle of 2 sides, amounts to like squad vs squad battle.

Gw2 has entire server/world vs server/worlds vs server/world, the alliance system will still have entire world vs world vs world.

The alliance system is just going to form parties of guilds(instead of looking at it as players) to be placed together on world creation, somehow people think this is all wvw is going to be about.

The world I started on is still here. Albeit it has become a guest world with no identity left and nothing to gain nor lose in WvW.

Come the alliance system all worlds become guest worlds with no identity and nothing to fight for.
