Saw this from a post over on the GW2 IGN forum. How dare they come up with ways to allow us to play on the server of our choice! We might actually get it together this time as far as choosing an Outpost server!

Let me explain what an overflow server is and what it does. It is a technology we also use as our version of a queuing system. When a map or a world you want to log into is at capacity limit, the game will ask you if you want to play on an overflow server - so you can actually play while you are in a queue. Once space opens on your world, the game will ask you if you want to join your friends on your world. And you keep all the progress you made while you were playing on the overflow server.

That's actually a good idea.

Although it might potentially backfire by making people have no incentive not to roll on the very most populated servers, leading to a situation where you're constantly playing on the overflow server because there's always way too many people on the primary one.

Anyone that's had to wait in a queue to play a game every night understands this. Sometimes you can't just move to another server because all your friends are on the overpopulated one. It can also work to keep servers in the same kind of tiers for world vs world

so this is some feature that will only apply to the first month of gaming?

seems like a waste of resources to me

When Yuki is telling you that you're working too hard to hate something, Elo, you'd better goddamn well listen!
