What shard/server are most of you going to be on? Where is the Necrobator guild going to be? Although it doesn't matter for the beta, I figure it would be good to get straightened out.
Found a Reddit thread about where some of the community sites, guilds and other more 'interesting' internet hubs are going to be gathering during the beta. The list is as follows:
US Worlds
Anvil Rock - 4chan /vg/,Facepunch
Borlis Pass - OMFGcata
Yak’s Bend - Yogcast, GW2 Guru, GameTrailers, Kinda Ferocious, ZAM
Henge of Denravi - NeoGAF, Guild Wars Reporter
Maguuma - MMORPG.com, Aureus Knights, Knights of Eminence, Better Late Than Never, Sages' Lost Intrigues
Sorrow’s Furnace - (DAoC Vets), VexX Gaming (PvP), Hearts of Chaos (PvX),GuildMag, Kabal, GWDen.com, Arena Junkies, Perfect in Theory (PvP), Descendants of Honor (PvX), Guild Wars Insider
Tarnished Coast - Unofficial Roleplaying server, The Gentlemen's Club, rpg.net
Steamspur Mountains -Dragon Chasers
Blazeridge Mountains - The Gaming Ent, /r/trees
Isle of Janthir - Boons &Conditions
Sea of Sorrows - SomethingAwful, (Oceanic), (Downunder/AUS/NZ), (South East Asia) The Australian Cybergamer, Harlequin, Aurora Australis, Yakisoba, Aggroculture
If you missed my thread here, I'll be rolling on Sorrrow's Furnace with Team Hammer. At least that's the current plan. Given the perceived popularity of that home world so far, it sounds like at least GuildMag and a couple of other fan sites are contemplating making a switch.
If we opt to switch between now and the start of the BWE I'll be updating the sticky thread and my Twitter feeds with the new info as early as possible.
A bit of Guild Wars history for anyone wondering why I initially chose Sorrow's Furnace...
The Sorrow's Furnace update that was released in the fall of 2005 was possibly one of the most significant ever added to the game in terms of lore, and future storylines. In it, players are first introduced to the Tome of the Rubicon, an ancient text that foretold of the eventual return of the Great Destroyer, the harbinger of doom and the first sign of the return of the Elder Dragons.
If you complete the missions in the zone, you essentially help bury the Tome, thereby staving off the rise of the Great Destroyer... at least for a time.
While the Tome of the Rubicon is only briefly mentioned in GW:EN, it pretty much is a prophetic tome that not only laid the foundations for the events in GW:EN (including the fate of the dwarves), but the main storyline in GW2 as well. All in a simple tome tossed down a hole in the ground by unsuspecting adventurers back in 2005.
There's a ton more to the story all told... maybe I'll dust off and finally finish the epic "Prophecies and Portents" lore piece I started writing ages ago and publish it here finally. :)
Me and my guild are mostly on Desolation for the moment, but checking the servers this morning, I noticed that the US are really low and EU are pretty much Heavy/Full
Lol I wanted to play on sorrows furnace, but it was Full. Just so I could play I picked a random medium server. With all the overflow servers happening I could not play with my buddies tho :( maybe next BWE they will have a better way to deal with the overflows.
One thing tho, I think the Daoc crew should pick 3 different servers at launch you know with how good they are they will be matched up at sometime down the road. That will be some epic battles!
Yak's Bend sounds really Necromancery.
Deldrimor or Sorrow's Furnace sounds pretty foreboding.

Just remember that the cooler the name sounds, the more n00bs it will attract.
Very true. In that case, Yak's Bend is sounding very cool...

I'm leaning towards Desolation as a UK player.
