Been a minute since I've dropped in on this thread.
Any word on what server the guild will be on?

Server is still up in the air. Whatever everyone else wants is fine by me.

I'm guessing no more stress tests before release, they will probably go into lock down mode to get things ready.

Cool, we'll have a server choice by the end of this week.
Server transfers are free for the first few weeks. I encourage everyone to join the TD server, whatever that shall be, but still, if not you can move or pull some friends to move.

are you guys playing at 2:00 in the morning on Saturday or waking up early? I'll probably wake up around 7 and play all day

Unless something drastically changes, my guild will be rolling on Jade Quarry.
Higher pop is probably going to be better considering the likely attrition after Wow Panda releases.

Just picked it up this weekend.
Found a good deal Slickdeals (20% off the game) for anyone who has not gotten it yet.
I know a few people coming from WoW to this so I will make the jump with them. From the looks of it they do not have the normal tank and healers?

Think I will play the midnight launch since we will be spending the weekend in New Orleans.
So I will be going to bed around 8am Saturday.

Correct.

Warhammer was a very similar game with the "group" quest and massive PvP battles. It's biggest downfall was they had to many servers at release. When the next WoW expansion came a month later a domino effect started and people got bored quickly due to low server population and huge unbalance in factions, granted their servers couldn't handle the population they had...
With that said, what you mentioned above is very important and should push the server decision towards a high-pop. The games survivability is heavily based on the balance of servers and pairings for the WvWvW.

But the guild's survivability is based on everyone getting on the same server, we reduce that chance if we strictly go to a high pop server. We have to strike a good balance. A populated server, but one not TOO populated. Jade Quarry, Sanctum of Rall and Yak's are looking to be mega populated.
I'm still thinking Dragonbrand, LazyNation just went there, and they are a solid mega-guild. WOuld keep the population high, but not too high.

totally agree what I was eluding too is more towards the difficulty of ArenaNet has with balancing the servers to avoid what could potentially be an ending to the game before the population stabilizes.
ETA: I would expect to have que's for the first few weeks on the high pop servers to aid in the balancing. Although most will kick and scream, it is the only to avoid a server imbalance in WvWvW. Which would be another reason for a small guild like this to avoid the chaos.

And the WvWvW switches every 2 weeks, so it will balance out. The WvWvW serious servers will most likely start being paired together. They'll have to be careful about that though.
I'm open to Yak's Bend, but it seems Jade Quarry is just massive.
