Yes I do have a guild, Thanks for asking

Personally it would be nice for you guys but I just think its pointless as they probably wouldnt be used due to the majority of people selling in the english/ america dis

There's too many empty districts already.

Even many of English/American outposts are empty. Say "Hello!" in Maguuma jungle, or post Cavalon/HZH, and all you get is plenty of echos.

I agree, some towns are more empty then you'd think they should, especially The Henge of Denravi, but that town wouldnt be empty lest for the Sanctum Cay run. As for the Amnoon Oasis, HzH and Cavalon, guess ppl just go hang out in towns where they can make the most profit, KC and LA are always full these days...

I can't see this happening, personally. I don't see why Anet would use extra server space for something that only 5,000 ppl max are going to use, when American and Euro dists have about 1 mil each.

In that case, give us Canadian districts and allow us (Canadians) to set our accounts as Canadian for purposes such as guild location, HA teams, etc.

a MMO is about interacting with a vast number of people.
I dont quite understand why do people WANT to miss out on opportunities to interact with cultures different to their country's.
To be secluded and isolated with so many people right in front of their noses.

Its just... oh, dunno, antisocial and stupid.

You must understand that a large percent of the Guru population prefer to play with only their friends and guild members, hence we post such ideas. We don't WANT traditional MMO style.

Being rude isnt gonna accomplish anything.

Im saying that its apsurd to be separatistic in conditions such as in MMOs, where there is no threat to approve of the separatism. You also must understand that while you dont persue interaction with other cultures, someone else, like me, persues interaction with your culture.
Its not just about yourself.

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm pretty sure I am, but isn't there a Dutch District already in place in like Foreign or something where you can go to a German District or something?

I say they should merge all districts into just a single Universal District lol

that way GW would actually look populated

This game is not an MMO. It is an instanced multiplayer game.

5 million copies of the various campaigns sold is not 5 million active players, weather you want it or not.

Consider the massive quantities of bots. Consider the people who no longer play. Consider the people who barely ever play.

Already that's cut down the numbers. Now remove all the retarded scrubs and you're left with only a few thousand players who are actually worth the time to hang out with.

WoW servers only hold a few thousand people at a time, but WoW is still considered an MMO.

then so is GW. :P

Note that those few thousand Gw players are in comparison to the 10 million WoW players, not number of characters per area.

I don't know if you're aware, but most Gw instances only hold 8 people at a time.

Much less than WoW.

That's because 98% of WoW is persistent, offering an infinite number of players in any area at any given time.

What the poster you quoted meant, was something along the lines of, since WoW is all relegated to different servers, and not just one massive one, and they cannot interact with players on other servers, Guild Wars technically has more people interacting with each other. He wasn't saying Guild Wars has more active players than WoW. I would venture a guess GW doesn't have more than 500,000 active players.

Kanyatta got my point.

Besides, genre is a formality. the reality is that rules that apply to MMOs apply to GW.

I'd like that, and whatnot a french version of Canadian servers for Quebecers.


But as we know, it just wont happen.

Hmm you would be surprised of the amount of dutchspeaking people running around on gw.

/signed

Anyway more people would use the dutch district then people use the korean districts.
And I finally would be able to figure out that the rest of the pug ALL speaks dutch BEFORE we finish the mission.(happens alot >.<)

Doesn't that show, though, that they aren't neccessary? If you could go through an entire mission not knowing that everyone in your party was Dutch, then why do you need a seperate district specifically to meet those people when you are able to function just fine without it?

Well I prefer to speak Dutch above english but most of the time you can't see who does and who doesn't speak Dutch.

I suppose a team of Germans can function just as fine speaking English as speaking German etc etc

Doubt this 'one big happy family' idea is going to apply untill they actually have removed the alternative districts, which would keep a lot of players pretty p*ssed off I guess. On the other hand, there's a lot of actually 'useless' districts around at the moment, for nationalities that are really the minority. I'm not saying we should remove those at all but even though they are empty, the people from those countries atleast have a choise. I think dutch players should too.

Anyway, you should've hit the search button.
(PS. post some screenies of chat with the 'empty districts' in usually flooded towns, and a few in english district asking how many people there are dutch. That'd give a better look on the situation.)

Really not a bad idea for the empty towns.
