Guild wide server move for WvW

[Zaalexx Sephitroth]

Our guild is seriously considering a move to a far more active WvW server as we are tired of having the out-manned buff and loosing all investment in upgrading keeps when it is clear our server has no real interest in a strong WvW presence.

We have made significant investments in our guild reseach and upgrades. We are concerned that this is server specific and does not transfer and we would need to restart our research, rebuild our bank, trove, cave, etc..

Can anyone tell me what happens to our research and upgrades if we all switch to a new server?

[Jim Hunter]

I'm pretty sure it's not server specific. Why not just have 1 person transfer and make sure he can access everything before the rest of the guild transfers.

What server are you switching too?

Fort Aspenwood is usually pretty good in WvW

Ft. Aspenwood is our top contender but honestly we do not know. We have a nice guild of about 35 active players and run between 5 and 15 people in WvW at any given moment. We sink plenty of gold but are dog tired of having our efforts wasted. We take keeps on our own, upgrade the hell our of things and can't keep anything more than a few hours as our server just plain doesn't keep up or play hard. We want to make a difference and have our efforts rewarded by having a server who keeps a constant presence and doesn't give up everything in a hour or two. Our big fear is queue times.

Taking suggestions.....

Well if you go to Ft. Aspenwood, let me know. I don't run WvW often, but I am looking for a more active guild in sPvP and PVE elements.

Oddly enough Tarnished Coast (the server I am on) is getting matched up with Fort Aspenwood this round along with Yaks Bend. It looks to be a really fun fight with all 3 servers very strong.

As for TC we usually don't have big queue times and we have a pretty good turnout for WvW. Several good commanders and guilds. We have the never give up attitude and while we do have some downtime it really isn't that bad. I think if we ever get to the point where we have 24 hour coverage, we could possibly be contenders for Tier 2.

Guild influence is tied to server, so you will have to start from scratch on the new one. Your upgrades will remain on the original server.

Thank you for responding to the primary question at the heart of the matter. This makes this a more complicated situation, but one to still consider.
