Guild Wars 2 & Soulriders

[Merc]

Since we're in different servers, going to list servers that people list themselves in in case someone else wants to join that server, and how to contact them if they just want to party/chat with them.

Server	Who	Contact Panel
Henge of Denravi	Brian	???
Jade Quarry	Iddy	IronDragoon.5961
Tarnished Coast	Merc	mercforhire.4673
n/a	Tabyk	???
Borlis Pass	Zephyrus	Zephyrus.6237

[21:24] <Iddy> What server are you on?
[21:24] <Ithea> uh...crystal desert, I think?
[21:25] <Iddy> Suckage.
[21:25] <Iddy> I'm on Tarnished Coast.
[21:25] <Ithea> Well, this is beta, so it's just a matter of picking a server for launch
[21:26] <Iddy> We have no idea what server we'll be on.
[21:26] <Ithea> Should probably post something on SR and see what server people want to pick. I just picked that one because another friend was there, and he picked that entirely randomly.

So GW2 launches next month and this is probably a bit early...but wanted to see who from Soulriders is going to play and what server they're interested in, see if we can't get a particular server to go into together.

I personally have no preference for servers.

[Dracos]

Hum.  I got a Lot of Multiplayer on my plate.

Enough to collapse.  So I probably won't show up here, but have a good time anyway :)

[Iron Dragoon]

Might want to plan a back up, just incase the server loads go insane.

But, I'm half-planning on Tarnished Coast.

[tabyk]

That's the one thing I'm worried about, especially as a pre-purchaser and getting in three days in advance.  To pick a server that suddenly explodes when it's released to the general public.  ;_;

[Merc]

Let's be fair, they're -all- going to explode. =p

[Iron Dragoon]

Truth.

Either way, though, we still need to pick a server =)

So far, Tarnished Coast has been the only proposed one. =)

[tabyk]

I have no preference, as I just picked one at random during the weekend betas.

Tarnished Coast would be fine with me.  Everyone else?

[Iron Dragoon]

Works, I guess, since it's the only thing proposed.

[Merc]

I shall see the two of you (and apparently only the two of you) there then. =)

[tabyk]

I have just heard of a possible alternative and figured I'd toss it out there, just in case.

As reported from someone in a WoW roleplay guild that I belonged to for several years, the Tainted Coast server is starting to be talked about as an unofficial RP server that the community is going to try and gather together at.  I, personally, have always enjoyed a bit of roleplay with my MMOs.  So far I haven't heard of any official support for such from the GuildWars2 development staff, however, besides the continuing push for the individual storyline system (which does admittedly look interesting).

Tainted Coast isn't listed. Think your guys might mean Tarnished Coast =)

...well I feel silly now.  Though this certainly simplifies any choices I might have been having to consider.  :)

[Merc]

Well, to make the initial decision easier, ArenaNet is going to allow free server transfers at the start, at least until the server populations somewhat stabilize (so probably at least a week or two from launch), so if we're not happy with Tarnished Coast, we could always move.

What professions are you two interested in playing? Best I've been able to dig up, we'll likely get 4-5 character slots at launch.

I will probably make a human engineer, asura guardian, norn mesmer and sylvari elementalist, and focus on...well, whichever I feel like at the start, honestly. I did enjoy my engineer/elementalist from beta, but I'll probably start with the asura guardian just to try something new, I think.

[Iron Dragoon]

Oh, I dunno. I'll likely have Ranger, Warrior, and Elementalist characters. Whichever one becomes my main will be played with my bro. The others will be off/down-time characters.

[Iron Dragoon]

Welp, family did it again.

My bro decided to play on a different server than the previously agreed upon one, so I'll be on Jade Quarry.

Yay family.
