I think us becoming a bandwagon server like dragonbrand and kaineng might be interesting and also since im sick of guilds leaving.
Im just going to cross my fingers to hope we get bandwagoned to either a higher tier or atleast to the point where we can beat bp and dragonbrand.

This may be a blessing in disguise. Ehmry has always had a pretty decent sized PvE population, that has avoided WvW like a plague to the mass levels of toxicity. Maybe now we'll be able to bring in some new blood from PvE and maybe the people leaving will be happier on their new servers.

There's one problem with this. There is a chance that the people leaving are not who made WvW toxic, at which point nothing will change. Just pointing this out since I have no clue exactly who/what made it so toxic to begin with. How the toxicity level changes in Ebay WvW in the coming months will tell everything.

Underestimate what? You think everyone will show up next Friday for reset and we'll get an in game pop up stating "sorry, server closed due to guilds leaving"?

He never said this nor hinted at it in anyway lol...

I didn't even realize that it was toxic.

I wasn't labeling either group as the Toxic Group or referring to WvW in particular, just the server as a whole. If you pay attention to the various forums and in-game chats, you see a lot of WvW people talking crap about PvE people and vice versa. So, if the mostly WvW people are going to a place that is more WvW oriented, they will get less negativity from the PvE crowd. The more PvE oriented group will remain with the more PvE oriented place, and get less negativity from the WvW group.

I just figured that if each group were able to be in a place better suited to their preferences, then more people might be happier with their gaming.

I love how you describe the situation! PvE wise, Ehmry is the perfect place to be but WvW wise...people are playing less since late last year so some of us sacrificed more in terms of time and money just to push the server up. It's becoming more of a stress rather than fun.

You must also see it from the oceanics view in our server. A group of less than 15 of us keep on guard for the server while the NA guys sleep and believe me it's like having a threesome with the other 2 servers with us being the chicken on a rotisserie. And oooh boy NNK.. that guild really did it for me with their hacking...

Well, since I haven't been playing, and probably won't play again for a while, I'll be staying in Ehmry Bay... since I'll never be able to afford a transfer anyway. Though if I ever transfer, it'll be to Sanctum of Rall so that I can play with my irl friends.

Though, with college and all the games coming out this year, I'm not sure if I'll be able to play at all. I've kind of burned out my interest to play WvW, now actually. idk

Nah. This isn't true. As a PvE player looking for a new server, PvE here sucks balls. Meta events are pretty much empty unless it's right at reset. Temple runs? What temple runs? I don't know if I'll follow GH to SoS since I'm not sure how PvE friendly that server is, but I definitely plan to move to some server with a better PvE community.

[Videoboyjb]

We do Temple Runs all the time. We recently went a good period of time with them actually staying open on a semi-permanent basis thanks to Ronny Aldo, Raburn, HOME, HIGH, and several others. Heck, HOME ran Temple Events earlier tonight.

It's hard to make this argument when Ebay was the first NA server to kill Marionette.

I just finished xferring to SoS, but there's no reason to hate on Ebay just cos you left. PvE can be played anywhere at any time, you transfer for WvW. I'll be guesting to Ebay all the time for PvE events with friends!

Happy travels to those who are leaving. I hope you find what you're looking for. We'll be here if you decide to come back!

Thank you very much Rill for all you do and have done.  Best to you as well!

Hopefully, you're correct. If me and my friends leaving are what allows you to have a better team fight, then I'm sure your gaming is going to be a blast. I know those of us who've transferred over already are having one.



To those who I've played with in PvE and fought along side in WvW, thanks for the memories. I've been on Ehmry Bay since the first beta weekend. I was in Gehenna [GHNA] the first Ebay guild to claim Stonemist and was there for many of our first server victories.

Special thanks to Thuley for all the hard work he did for our Teamspeak and the forums.

Shout out to Rill for all the wonderful community events she's put together I've had the privledge to participate in.

Thanks to Drak and Jamaica for some wonderful memories and the commrodary we shared.

I hope that everyone continues to have fun. If you're not having fun, I hope you find something that can change that for you.

Best of luck to you, Ebay.

People are leaving because most of you are scrubs that haven't improved at WvW in over a year, and instead act like PvE shit stains that leave all the work for other guilds that don't fair weather in WvW like the bad bads you all are. The server has given zero effort in making WvW better  and this is why you lose guilds. The guilds leaving (and they aren't very skilled to begin with) cannot even stand the amount of bad that is released thru your PvE shitstain pores. This server literally has nothing to offer, and may you suffer a ill fate till the point you all uninstall and go back to World of Warcraft or whatever else skill-less game you bads migrated from.

It's actually very easy to make that argument. We killed the marionette first, yeah. Mostly because most other other servers focused on the worm. Still yeah. First kill. I've yet to experience or hear about a successful marionette since that day. I think there was one Friday night maybe, but there's a large gap between first kill and Friday night.

I haven't left Ehmry yet and I've been on it since the first beta weekend, so i feel pretty entitled to my annoyance. I spend most of my game time guesting into Blackgate.

Anyways, Ehmry is a server. Leave or stay, it's a server. I feel no allegiance, maybe because I don't wvw or take part in any large guild stuff, but do what you want. I can still dungeon with people on SoS if I want, so this affects me in a very minimal way.

[EDIT] whoever that guy posting above me is, someone tell me what server he's on so I can either leave it or avoid it. Thanks.

I play way too much right now and see temples done on Ehmry maybe once or twice a night, usually only right at reset and most of the times Balth fails and Sometimes Grenth does. That frequency is probably fine for most players, but I prefer places where there is a constant presence, not just a reset presence. If I guest to Blackgate at 2am server time, which works for me, there is usually a group flipping temples. More people, more events.

Unfortunately, I missed your temple runs today. Was actually slightly excited to get in on that. Silly real life.

Yeah, and that's the first major accomplishment in the PvE arena that we've had.

It took us several days longer than most other servers to best Teq, and some servers still organize daily runs at Teq and beat it in the same vein that we do Karka Queen.

We're nowhere near killing the wurm, either.  Our organization isn't bad, but after observing groups like Blackgate and how they run their PvE campaigns against the wurm, it's clear that we are woefully inferior in that regard.  Their commanders all communicate flawlessly, and their players execute instructions to the letter.  I watched them super-burn a wurm down to 5% health, and then the instant the commander shouted "stop DPS", the wurm's health didn't so much as budge a millimeter.  When have we EVER executed with that kind of precision here on Ehmry?

Temple runs?  Dungeon openings?  There are some servers who almost never have theirs locked, because people are always going there to get them fixed.

So yeah, I wouldn't say our PvE "sucks balls", but it's not top of the line either.  We're a mid-tier PvE server, honestly.

[Rassy]

You guys are a top-tier handsome server.

[Maksyn]

I'll try and lead more PvE events when able. Recently we've been attempting some things with just the guild, so it's been a bit more quiet. I'm not sure how much I want to try Tequatl or the Wurm, though I think the latter is more doable still than the former.

[Jamaica]

Best of luck to those that are leaving. I thought I would go ahead and clarify it on here since I've been getting dozens of whisper: ZOMG IS NOT Transferring servers. We are staying here. That being said, we are a PvX guild and everyone is welcome (well as long as you're 18+). If you would like to see what we're all about, you can check out our recruitment thread on these forums by clicking HERE.

Again, to all those that are leaving, So Long and Thanks for All the Fish.
