Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 There is no way to join a Full Server. You can check after WvW resets and/or match-ups to see if the population has changed. You could temporarily join a Server that is matched-up with your friends' Server, but, as indicated, that would only be a temporary 'fix'. Welcome to Tyria, and good luck.

RaZoRJaw.3591 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 Thank you for your reply! Would the servers be less crowded when there is not a Peek hour,Like at night maybe in the week days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 No. Server population is determined only by WvW population (and that population is determined over months' averages), and is changed only at resets/match-ups/re-links. Here is a Dev quote on the matter: 1. World sizes are based on WvW play hours and players. People who do not play WvW, or are guests, do not factor into the population size of a server. If a world is locked, it is because it has a larger population than our “Full” threshold. https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/wuv/Transfers-Links-and-Population-Data/first#post6664495 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseofGilead.8907 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hours of the day won't matter in server population. A Full server remains full until people transfer to another server, which doesn't happen too often. As Inculpatus suggested above, checking after weekly wvw resets is going to be your best bet as that will be when people/guilds might decide to switch to another server.

JustTrogdor.7892 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Server_reset Friday 14:00 UTC-4 (roughly) — World versus World reset for EU servers (the exact time varies from week to week). [2] Friday 22:00 UTC-4 (roughly) — World versus World reset for NA servers (the exact time varies from week to week). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deihnyx.6318 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 From what I've experienced WvW reset (Friday) and the "server population check" doesn't happen at the same time. "Server population check" happens sometimes on Monday. Every single time I've seen full status change was on a Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee.9217 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Really bad system when you can not get guild mates or friends on the same server. Our guild recently came back was on a locked server moved off of it for find out five weeks later we are on another locked server. Low pop servers are a bad choice for WvW zero chance we would go to a low pop server, the server we moved too was marked as high, in five weeks it went from High to Very High now Full. I have already paid once to move, since I have started this game on release day I have moved a total of six times. The few dollars they make from these transfers are nothing compared to the players they never get because of them. Bad system that keeps people from returning and new players joining thus making less money and fewer players. Our guild forums already have old members that are stuck, paid to get all the new stuff can't join our guilds server. Also makes it very hard to advise any of my old friends to come back as they are on the wrong server with no way to move. **I do not understand why a server should be locked that has servers linked to it for WvW, unlink them open the servers up and stop trying to make a nickle while losing dollars.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, then it will be Alliances, but unless a player(s) insists on playing in a certain Alliance, a Guild can form its own Alliance, and all members can join.

And you end up still not being able to play with your guild mates anyway because every guild is waiting for their group to all get into WvW.

And you end up still not being able to play with your guild mates anyway because every guild is waiting for their group to all get into WvW. So you missed the part of unlinking full servers that I put in bold in the first post. A server should not be full to transfers that is linked with another server for WvW is my point exactly.

moonstarmac.4603 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Servers will be going away in the near future. The only thing they currently affect is WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
