I think it seems pretty clear lots of people are rolling with other guilds, so if the BC guild is just a "quick lookup to see who's doing what", then that's what it is.

Bat Country in WAR died during server merges as well.

Maguuma is fine by me, if it turns out to be a bad choice server transfer at launch doesn't seem too painful.

Look how well it worked in TOR, we had a server pre-chosen, no confusion at all.
Until they shut it down. Details.
Technically we didn't choose anything in SWTOR.

But Bat Country in SWToR was dead long before the server merges.

I figure if nothing else, we can liberally copy Falc's TSW roster so people see where everyone is. Then we can at least have little clusters of perks for those on the same servers.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Well I have decided I will be making Bat Country on Maguuma, Way will be leader if he wishes otherwise I will be leader by default again. Can't make everyone happy, but a decision has to be made and Maguuma seem to have the most favorable reaction. Please send all hate mail to Zombie Signe.
That influence/guild perks tied servers seems pretty lame. Not up to their usual level of "freedom" with design choices. Hopefully it is a back end limitation that with fixed later.
That's the server the Goons will be on correct? Guess I won't be on BC's home server then. I have no interest in playing with them.

I'm with you. Zero interest in playing with the Goons.

Also, where is everyone getting the information about what guild(s) are on what servers? That could be helpful to me.

http://www.gw2guilds.org/ is pretty good... there are also some posts on guildwars2guru.com's forums. e: my guild is still undecided, but we're trying to avoid servers that have too many uberguilds and/or major intarweb communities (this includes goons); it's probably also a good idea to select at least one 'fallback' server in case the main one gets swamped or locked down during the (pre)launch rush.

It looks like I will try for Tarnished Coast. I tend to go where the RPers are even if I rarely RP. If nothing else it cuts down on seeing player names like URDUMASSHAHA

I'm normally an advocate of playing on RP servers, but chances are high the RPers are going to be hideously bad at WvW.

Probably but I will likely do a lot less WvW than you guys anyway. My general role in any kind of PvP is "Target who occasionally lucks into a kill."

Yea, the RP server is high on our list too. We've played on RP servers in every mmo since WOW, even though we haven't really RP'd since swg -- like Riggswolfe said, playing on RP servers *generally* has more people that can speak in complete sentences, and it's usually easy to isolate any potential Moon Guard Goldshire situations. The WvW thing is definitely something to look out for, but after a few weeks/months, the leaderboard will settle -- in case the WvWers are *really* that bad, the server will be paired with similarly bad servers so it'll be happy funtime incompetent shenanigans all around!

Yeah, but theoretically that just means they'll be triangled up with two other hideously bad WvWvW servers eventually, no? So you have the chance to be a big fish in a really bad pond!

I'm aware of the Goons' reputation, but why so much aversion to being on their server specifically?

There's some merit to this, yeah. WoW battlegrounds in the mostly-RP-server battlegroup were pretty hilarious that way. EDIT: Another plus is that Tarnished Coast looks to be high population if guild counts are anything to go off of, so that means more zergs in WvW probably. (If you consider that a plus, I always liked the huge LOLzerg a lot more than grr serious business squad RVR in DAOC.)

Massive overpopulation fears (and server becoming locked on day 2) was the big thing for my guild... and yeah, the griefing bit. It's true that GW2 isn't REALLY griefer-friendly, but wvw has plenty of opportunitions*-- and that's where server choice matters the most, after all. Aside: there's a guild called 'Gaiscioch' on Sanctum of Rall that has like 3000 members (and their website seems to confirm that they indeed have that many, though probably not all will buy GW2)... isn't that a server population by itself? * This was a typo of 'opportunities', but now it looks like a portmanteau of 'opportunities' and 'munition', so ha!

It's like this. I could live in gang territory and I might not have problems. Or I could live elsewhere and reduce my likelihood of problems significantly. I did a lot of google reading about those guys and they're the exact type of player I do my best to avoid.

Even setting aside the griefing and such, the presence of a giant organized group that institutionally approves of tossing racial/sexual slurs around makes it basically a no-sale for me, by itself.

Don't worry, we'll have non-goon option as well. I think this might be the best way to handle things, because the folks that are saying Meguuma are going there regardless of any f13 opinion. Hopefully I can coordinate with another sizeable population so fall backs are in place for the inevitable 75% wandering off to go play the new WoW xpac. Weak willed sonsofbitches.

Yeah, it's basically irrelevant to me, since I'm rolling with Reddit, but Tarnished Coast does seem like a good suggestion that fits all criteria.

In every beta weekend so far Tarnished Coast did very well in WvW. It had one of the better win percentages I believe. If that counts for anything.

Looks like they aren't going with blackgate now: "I would like to thank everyone for the feedback regarding Goonsquad server selection. While our official vote will take place tomorrow night, It will be my position that Blackgate should not be considered. Thank god

Apparently 4chan is going to TC to fuck with rpers. Plus TC is looking pretty big now. Do the anti-goon folks have an other server ideas?
