I take it back.. no longer rolling on jade quarry. - We have decided to do a different server, and not publicizing it. Would still like CPers to play w/me!

Found this little tidbit...

When Guild Wars 2 launches, you will also have the option to play with your friends on another world with our free “guesting” feature. With guesting, your characters can play on any world where you have friends—with certain restrictions. For instance, you will not be able to participate in WvW while guesting.

So no matter what world we choose we'll at least be able to PvE together, no PvP though.

Yea when you are guesting you can still gain exp for yourself etc but you cant gain any guild influence.

Yep, that's what I saw too.

I know you can join multiple guilds. I had thought you could switch your active guild or whatever it's called and get guild influence for the server you're on -- is that not how it works?

Your right in a way. yes you can join multiple guilds, yes you can switch the guild your repping for influence to said guild.

However, when your guesting on other peoples servers you will NOT gain influence. You can only gain influence by playing on your 'home' server.

Oh, I can only gain guild influence when I'm on my home server? That's interesting. Thanks.

Another stress test tommorrow. Also they announced they are going to open the servers 3 hours early for headstart, so 12pm EST rather than 12pm PST

Hmmm 1pm CST for me. I'm supposed to have tomorrow off but offered to work morning deliveries since my boss has strep throat. He usually does Weds deliveries. I hope to be home by the start of the test.

I really enjoyed the Mesmer I created last test, I'd like to see how much further I can get into the class to see what more it has to offer.

I'll probably spend a chunk of the time in the character creator, as my main will be a Sylvari and they have such a huge variety of options. Wouldn't want my character to look like ass when the game comes out.

Wow 11k files to download on the client. I hope I can get it done and still get in to help stress test a little.

My group of friends decided on Sorrow's Furnace for the release. Just FYI if anyone wants to know, my account is Ultimate Flash.7982.

**hometeam** · 08-16-2012, 10:14 PM

Just so you know, Sorrows furnace is going to be the 'spanish language' server, with multiple huge guilds rolling there. That is why we chose to move to Yaks Bend. We felt like so many spanish speakers would hinder pve and wvw communication.

Last time I checked the "World Server List" Sorrow's furnace was a NA server.

Yak's Bend was my second choice because I always loved "The Yakslapper" from GW1. It was the first "green" I ever got.

Guess I better get on FB and get the team up to speed then

Well, it is an NA server. Do you have any idea how many spanish speakers there are in north/central/south america that will be playing on NA servers? And the huge spanish speaking alliance guilds have chosen Sorrows Furnace as the unofficial spanish language server, and made it known in the community. Its pretty much a done deal :P Now, im not saying some of these people wont be bi-lingual, because they will. But, the threat of a constant communication barrier at least in some capacity was enough to make us reconsider.
