Home world seems to be account based and costs 1800 gems to switch so we'll need to be pretty careful with switching between EU and US servers.
Apparently 4chan is planing to use vabbi... I sure know how to pick them.
Also slarg your username doesn't seem to work, I'm sending PM's to everyone from the guild via the gw2 forums.

if homeworld is based on account and costs gems to change, then I won't be
Also yes, I know german servers suck compared to UK ones from playing both on TF2...

Ahahaha, I was just about to mention that Vabbi was the /vg/ chosen server for Euros.
Anvil Rock is the US /vg/ server as well.

Well, it is good that we get to think about this before hand. But, having the issues between what server everyone wants to get on, I think I can help with my chosen server could be any server. I have no qualms, unless I happen to get on one and it totally blows but I have not ever noticed an issue while playing on a foreign server (I know it's higher ping but never a gameplay issue). But I absolutely must pick, but still compromise with the rest of the Dakka Dakka players, I would pick a UK server as per Mel's reasoning. It is closer to the US players while still being close to EU players.

Aye, I must admit it is easier for me to say to try US servers as I have no baggage from GW1. I'd assume folks have connections to there they'd rather not loose.
So yeah my view is, I'll go where ever folks want to go.

I have no baggage from GW1 myself. I just want to have a better connection. Either a UK or US server for me.

Aye I can understand the concerns. WaR hosted things via Germany through the US for some bizarre reason as a UK player and the lag was really poor.
When they brought everything under the same house when Mythic dropped the EU side, it ran much better, even though we where still linking to the US.

Never had any problems playing on US servers (thanks to optical broadband probably).

Well since it seems most people rather have a UK or US based server (I of course prefer the latter) any chance of changing servers? A German server seems to make little sense at the moment, I think something located on the US east coast would be best. Then again I'm being completely selfish here since I'm from NJ

Got home earlier, and in a rush ran the .exe instead of saving it. Client worked until I realised the .exe wasn't there after i'd closed it, retrieved it using Mel's link, and now it wants to re-install the whole fething thing.
Strange thing is that it installed all the files onto my C: drive once already, taking up the disk space, but they are nowhere to be found. At all.
feth this.

I understand servers are essential to the WvWvW system, but there's also the guild infidelity system. Perhaps we will be allowed to join and be in guilds that are not necessarily in the same server.
It's especially a curiosity considering ALL your characters must be on the same server and you have to pay gems to swap ALL them over.

Nothing on that search either. Automatically Appended Next Post: Googled the issue, apparently there's no cure. I just have to live with several GB of unusable data on my C: drive, clear more space, and re- DL it.

Really can't be bothered.

Avatar you just can run CCleaner (google it and download it if you don't already have it) and it will basically do it all for you. You can pick and choose what temporary, unneeded files in a lot of areas on your computer you want to delete

I might be wrong but I think all the EU servers are based in Germany and all the US servers are based in the west coast.
That said homeworlds are only really relevant for WvWvW, in team PvP or PvE you can play on any server but for WvWvW you can only play for your homeworld.
You get enough gems for one free homeworld switch in the beta so perhaps we should try one EU server, see how the lag is and if it's really bad we can try a US server?
How we try about Riverside for EU and if that is laggy try Eternal Grove for US?

To be quite honest, I think it would be better for both sides to go on different servers.
US will have gak ping on EU, and vice versa. It won't work unless each region has its own server.
