Sea of Sorrows

This one's the unofficial Oceania server, so I'll be going there for a higher chance of running with people in my timezone who speak my language. I hope word gets around that Australian and New Zealand players go here, it sucks that there's no official support for our countries. Such a huge time difference between the US timezone and here makes it impossible to group with anyone other than insomniacs and nightowls. Just got some great news that a buddy of mine living near me will be playing too, so at least we can two-man together.

Well if it helps any sea of sorrows certainly knows how to kick ass in WvW.  I remember near the end of BWE1 we(Jade Quarry) were trying to take back a single tower in our borderlands that you guys had, and we ended up needing 3 trebuchets and about 3 hours to do it.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, Australian and New Zealand players are up there with the best of them, and being a minority in the MMO area (never any official server zone support) means we tend to band together in pretty tight groups. When you play games needing strategy and teamwork it really makes a difference having people you trust at your back. Plus we're used to our surrounding environment being filled with creatures that can kill you in horrible ways.

It seems this website is the best one to keep track of guilds and servers now.

It's really well updated and complete, unlike the reddit lists and such which are now apparently outdated.

hmmm... Isle of Janthir seems to have 250 australian 200 international around 750 american and a few unspecified guildmembers in their various guilds.
... it might be rather full there.
I vote for Ehmry Bay
because there's a lot less guilds there and less expected lag.

[Greiger]

The folks for the Life in Aggro webcomic are going there.  It would have been my second choice if all my rl friends weren't going to jade quarry.

That makes me wonder though, are all these servers in the same area?(barring US vs EU of course)  If they are more spread out it would make sense to know one server is in say Georgia or Florida vs Washington or California.

[SeaBee]

Less than a week left and I still don't know for sure what server to go on. That gw2guilds.org site is great, though, makes it easy to get an idea of what kind of community will be there.

I'm leaning towards the unofficial RP server (Tarnished Coast), but I may end up taking advantage of the initial free server transfer(s) if it doesn't feel right. I just want a decent community that likes WvW. And one that encourages a good atmosphere. I recognize that as a tall order, but maybe I'll get lucky. *sigh*

[Carcanken]

I'm probably going to end up on Yaks Bend, only because most of my friends decided to go to that server.

[Ozyton]

Looking at that list I think I'll stick with Ehmry Bay, seems to be a good mid (maybe higher) population server that prople here have already shown interest in.

Also the guild
Population seems primarily from the US so...

For the guild focus, on that site, why are some different colors? I haven't foun a legend of any sort yet

Edit: if we make a guild, that abreviation should be DORF

[The Fool]

As it stands Ehmry Bay is winning by 1 vote. The winning server be the home of Bay 12, but not necessarily where everyone is playing. Any events (meetings/quest runs/giveaways) that are set up will probably just be happening on the home server.

It's now 6 days til the release of the game and no one has suggested a name for the guild. Any ideas? If nothing comes up I'll probably name it something along the lines of 'Talons of the Bay' or something like that.

EDIT: Removed horrible wording.

[Greiger]

We do have a perfectly functional random name generator at our fingertips.

I don't know name limits, but I'll throw a few brainfarts out there.

"Cult of the One Toad"
"Slaves to Armok"
"The Twelfth Bay"
"Dorfs on a Realgar Floodgate"
"Appliers of Magma"

[Ozyton]

Are guild names allowed to have numbers? We could have a simple name like "bay 12" or "Twelvth Bay"

Doesn't have a particularly good ring to it though... If I had access to DF roght now i could generate somr names. A DF-like name woulf br nice, like "CompoundWord of adjective-whatever". Open DF and start a fort, then go into "name group" and hit "random" while writing combinations that look nice, and even mix some together that serm like they would work


Ninjad

Edit: I kinda like the way "Slaved to Armok" sounds, but it seems to be something only we would get.

[hachnslay]

Yay the bay!

now that we are on the bay server the name doesn't really have to contain it anymore ...

Ideas:
Urist's Daggers (because Dagger means Urist)
Natural Resources [TOAD]
It's Not Really Magma [LAVA]
We Love Chert
Queue Magma [QM]

[Twiggie]

+1 Slaves to Armok

[The Fool]

If everyone's alright with the server being Ehmry Bay I'll stop updating the counter that's at least a page back now and start up a vote counter for names. If you want to change a vote because of a new suggestion just say so. I'll be waiting with my vote in case of a tie.

Spoiler: Guild Name Votes (click to show/hide)

Slaves of Armok - 2
Kittens, Socks, and Magma - 3
