My question to you is this:
Who will be playing more? You or your kids XD lol, to be honest i dont really want to play the BWEs too much, kind of takes away some of the shock and awe i want when i play the full release version. I'll probably just log in to see what pings and performance changes are like as well as server choice

Even with the Guesting, i think we should all stick to one server, because then we all play WvW and so forth together

Thanks for them words of wisdom wookiman
BTW, have u got a pre purchase? i have the launcher already if u dont want to download it

edit:
By the looks of it Petrified Forest is gonna be a gung ho RP server. Theres a registered German guild and 2 more that look like they could be english speaking.

Lakeside County has nothing registered to it yet

Whitside has 2 large Portuguese, a polish, a german, a few english and according to the listing is the home server for the Reddit team.

Just to sum it up

As long as we're on a server that doesn't suck in terms of WvWvW, I'm happy

Yeah which means a RP server might not be the best of ideas.

My thoughts exactly. Is is really so heard people? When the game goes live even if you pick a server like Lakeside Country that is ranked low, you will still get to play WvW and probably win as well. Remember A-net are fixing the ranking system, so you will never fight out of your league like you did in the last BETA.

And you forget the major flaws about going to PVP orientated servers, the lag and the ques, will you even get a chance to get into these WvW fights with it limited, or will the PVP whores take up all the slots?

Think beyond the PEEVEEPEE part of the game, kinda tired of reading about this. Instead of picking a server already shared by others, pick one that is not, AND MAKE THAT THE ZA server.

I'm kinda with Spartan on this one. Lakeside was well enough populated that I didn't feel like I was running around in a wasteland, and quiet enough that I didn't get knocked into overflow even once.

Plus it would be nice to claim a ZA server from the beginning - if we can get all the SA players on the same page we could probably be in a fairly strong position to ... well ... not dominate maybe, but at least be a noticeable presence.

As for PvP - I'm not pushing for it myself, but I will be hopping into WvW from time to time, and I'll be pulling any guildies that feel like joining in along with me. As a matter of fact - I think I will make one of my officers my PvP general and have him dictate tactics for a team, or whatever. Still playing with the details

PvP is not my focus but I don't want to be on a server where no one gives a damn about it, i.e. RP server. I left Lakeside for Whiteside because the level 15+ areas where dead, this shouldn't be an issue at launch though.
