I'm currently living in New Zealand, I'm choosing either Sea of Sorrow (because of LowYat.net) or Sanctum of Rall (very touching story).

Do you represent a guild? If not thankyou for your 'vote' and I look forward to seeing you in WvW

[tallanx]

the website you linked doesn't work. I'm personally going to go to Gate of Madness. I do have a guild of about 6-7 people, but it's a private guild that's basically just me and a bunch of rl friends who like to muck around together.

[Oolius]

Will likely be rolling either Sea of Sorrows or GoM(if SoS is horribly packed come BWE3). As for the link being broken, heres the working link for those of you interest in a dedicated Oceanic community.

Edit: Changed my vote to Gate of Madness.

Hehe ty Oolius, sorry for that.

[Snag]

I'd prefer to go Gate of Madness, but if the consensus here is for Isle of Janthir (or anything else), I'm more than happy to go there too.

[Neato]

The only servers I'd want are: Sea of Sorrows, Gate of Madness, Blackgate

[Myndranius]

Canadian playing from South Korea here...

I have no idea where to go. I'm hoping to find a decent guild first and just follow them. My biggest concern is finding one, and then not being able to get onto the server they've chosen come D-3 (pre-purchase launch) because the server has been hammered to the point of being locked. This happened to me during BWE1 with Sea of Sorrows. I ended up alone on Fort Aspenwood for BWE1/2...

[Mexay]

My guild willing be rolling Gate of Madness this BWE and most likely at launch.

We Built They Came [ekoc]

[LOCOMOFO]

Bummer to hear Astralarium was dropped.

I'll add another vote to Gate of Madness.

[Cosian]

Quarrel Falls is no longer a BWE server ....

Unfortunately Darkhaven has been chosen as a second server by other communities and I'm quite sure that there will be some oceanic's rolling on it. As long as we have another option it will be fine.

That is unfortunate, I would suggest finding a guild for sure!


Mods, can we please get this turned into a Poll.

Yeah I did but the poll has to allow people to select from a range of servers to be fair. GoM will probably be the more popular choice anyway I suspect.

Second Note: Please do not confuse this thread with Mexay's this poll is for POST server removal/changes

I'm already confused.

Does this thread supersede the other one? What about the other thread?

It does supersede the other thread. This poll was made after the selected servers from the previous thread were deleted by Arenanet.

Alrighty, in addition to running a poll I think one of the easier options to take into account where all the guilds are going. Burk, I've sent you a PM over on gw2au.com concerning this, but I'll throw the link up here for others that are interested as-well:

The following is essentially the starting of an Oceanic guild data-mine. Should be a more than ideal place to start.

Thankyou Oolius that's a great help. Also edited the OP for easier reading. Let me know if I'm missing anything or its not clear guys.

[Oolius]

No worries at all. If it was me personally, I'd just throw up the Player Count Totals and link the full list,  as it will likely have a tendency to grow, and make for a lengthy OP.

Each to their own

Edit: Also further changes to the thread.

I think you are correct I will update the OP.

This bloody proves that Anet doesn't even have an intern reading these forums.

How so, I'm a tad lost as to what your getting at here?

I'm assuming Anet have said they have interns that browse regularly? But how is that relevant to this? (not trying to have a dig, just simply curious)

where is the information coming from that Resonance (AU)Nocturnal (AU), and Harlequin (AU) are going to be on gates of madness?

No worries easily changed, will update when compendium is edited.

Gate of Madness looks like it has a substantial group of guilds rolling there.
