For what it's worth, I transferred over to Gandara and am having a blast pugging it for now. Fights all over the place, close match up, and queus have mostly subsided by the time I get online later in the evening. Thanks for the comments all.

Hi WvW'ers,I'm a long-time player who was based in China and played NA server SEA time for 6 years. For RL reasons, I've moved to the EU, and after 6 months out of game, have my rig up and running again. My former guild has mostly moved on, and even if they hadn't there's no way I'd get to play on the same timezone; I'm in central europe, and don't get to play until quite late in the evenings (getting a toddler to sleep). So though I do see the odd familiar face, there's nothing to really tie me to NA anymore. Fights in EU are on the quiet side, and moving to a ping of 50 would be pretty sweet. But I honestly don't have the foggiest about EU servers. I really don't want to incite the EU equivalent of a Baguma/Wagonbrand/whatever, so what I'm looking for... a server with fights until relatively late EU time (midnight CET)English as the lingua franca. More British humor the better. not that interested in roamingrelatively open to pugsI do know that the prevailing wisdom is to find a guild first and move to them, but my RL schedule doesn't really allow me to commit to a serious guild. Any advice on servers from EU players would be much appreciated, Adammantium

Thanks for the update. For anyone not involved in software development, don't underestimate the work and effort that has been put in so far. The complexity of this must be huge, and that there are so many parts working at all sounds great.UI stuff is important, but is a drop in the ocean in time and effort compared to the work being done on the backend for this. Of course there's expectation management going on, but this sounds far closer to being done than a lot of you are giving credit for. Fingers crossed for something in the Spring. I'm personally waiting for this before dropping back into the game, so please do keep up the good work!

I have played from China since release, and ping ranges from between 220 and 280. I hardly ever die in any scenario due to ping.I do relatively frequently die due to lag spikes. But when it's stable, no problem. Also, seeing as you already know your ping from pve, we can assume you already have the game installed, so why not just go into wvw and see how it feels? Regardless of any of the comments above, this game still offers a unique experience which I find thoroughly enjoyable, even with a worse ping than others.

Strongly in favor of this change. Looks great. Sad that some will lose their communities, but there are ways to keep them together if they mean that much to you. But as a competitive game mode, rather than just a place to socialize, this could really reinvigorate the community. I do hope this is built with a view to leaderboards and minor rewards for winning servers. Something to make the matches meaningful.
