I so want to play this game! I open my Steam library, look at it for some time and close it without playing anything. Nothing gets my attention now, even Crusader Kings 2. So obviously I'm looking forward to playing with our new alliance.

The move looks like it could be a wonderful thing if everthing works out right, so all that's left is to wait and salivate it seems.
Boreal Station sounds more like home, Praise be to the Endless.
This viking man approves, Praise be to Horace
Well this is kind of interesting move to make.
Hear from the spirit-world this mystery:
Creation is summed up, O man, in thee;
Angel and demon, man and beast art thou,
Yea, thou art all thou dost appear to be!
I suppose this move makes sense, I just hope that the PvE side isn't going to suffer too much by being on a less populated server.
Heh, seems like my GW2 guild is actually part of this alliance thinking about Boreal Station.
Steam: krusader83 | Origin: Sceptrum
Planetside 2: SceptrumVS (Miller) : SceptrumNC (Mallory) : SceptrumTR (Lithcorp)
Checked the alliance, it sounds interesting one.

Some dodgy napkin maths shows our new server looks to be punching above its weight...
Boreal Station's 14 guilds list just over 1500 members combined (plus 2 more guilds of unknown size) compared with Desolation, which boasts 3000 members across 48 guilds (plus 20 more unknowns). We may only have one third of the guilds, but we have half the population! We also have a single, server-wide alliance, versus a sea of chaos.
I think we'll be fine, although after all the fuss I do hope the server options remain the same for release :P
The ones without numbers are around 30 and 7.
Secret sources....mmm secret source...indicate that the server list is unlikely to change (*awaits to be proven catastrophically wrong*).
I guess in enumerating things you were trying to answer Elro's concerns about numbers in PvE. Yeah, I shouldn't worry on that count *nods, knowingly*
I do believe, even with alliance, we'd still need drive in pug players.

Boreal Station more like Boring Station.
(I don't care about server selection. Go on.)
(Boring Station better not catch on)

How well did we do in BWE3 WvW? Did anyone have a chance to play? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on how well we stack up against other servers. Would you put us in the bottom quartile? middle of the pack? Top 10?
I really enjoyed WvW during BWE2 (despite those flippin' armor repair costs bankrupting me), and i really hope our server can field enough active players that we can match up well.
Plus, I really want those munchkin bonuses as well... =D

I checked http://www.gw2guilds.org/guilds/eu/boreal-station today and it looks like a lot of guilds have moved house on Boreal Station and they're not in our alliance. So much for worrying about it being a low-pop realm.
