I am also stuck on this step, still.

As the leader of a YB guild paired with Mag, I have been bored out of my skull the last 5 weeks. There is nothing fun about demoralizing the enemy in a pvp game mode in 10 year old game. The rest of the WvW community wants to run with their well-established guilds, have fights, and generally enjoy the game mode. Coming online during NA primetime is pointless for my group and everyone else stuck in this pairing because there is nothing to do. We get maybe one fight per hour and it's against the singular giant zerg the other server has formed up. I'm not leaving the server I've been on for 10 years because of an 8-week pairing, so that is out of the question. The real issue here is 1) why the heck is Maguuma open for transfers when they are dominating point-wise (regardless of population/activity) and 2) there is only ONE guild on Maguuma that actually enjoys organized fights (CTH). Everyone else is in the auto-attacks-from-range-only alliance guild that Maguuma formed when alliance betas started and there is no organized tag or fighting from them at all. It's really disappointing that the rest of the WvW community's culture is being ignored for the sake of one server, and there is no acknowledgement of that from anyone with any say in how the game mode is developed or managed. I'm not sure what it will take, but it's really disappointing that so many communities and guilds based around this game mode are forced to put their main (and sometimes sole) activity on hold for 1 week (or 8 weeks, in a paired server's case) so they can either avoid being matched up against Mag the following week or not lose active players due to boredom.

5k ping in WvW and I can't command my group. Literally frozen for seconds at a time.

The story does not progress beyond the step(s): "Ready your allies and await the next development in the battle." and "Speak with Lady Camilla in Eye of the North for the latest news." Talking to Lady Camilla does not progress the story.

The exact same thing is happening over here in NA with Yak's Bend. We've been listed as "full" for months, but have no active guilds during the NA daytime or overnight (so no EU or SEA presence). Just wondering if there is any hope of some of these servers opening up or if we're being purposefully killed off. If that's the case, though, not sure putting us in T2 to start the re-link (with the same server we had last link, so no population change) after being in T4 for weeks before is the best way to do that. Hoping we open up soon.
