I think the idea is cool.
I didn't mind this back in GW2 before they pulled out the mega server, so only time will tell if it works here or not. Personally I would hope that some things are gated to prevent market trolling and/or gil spammers rushing into previously locked worlds, but otherwise I'm happy for the prospect.
We're probably not going to be able to trade or buy houses on other servers, not as long as the MB and housing wards stay isolated to one server.
I imagine things such as housing, joining FCs and Linkshells, and the selling of items will be restricted to your Home World. But buying items, participating in hunts, crafting/gathering, daily quests, etc. will all be unrestricted.
Depends on the world unless your on a small server where the MB is horrible for buyers. Some things are never in stock or extremely overpriced compared to other servers. An example I have an alt on Zalera and gave up on having the flying chair mount as it's never in stock.
I am not really sure why we even needed it..I mean now with the server wide LS. Also do they really believe that people would always just go away from busy servers and move to less busy ones to do stuff? And what will happen if you want to go back to your home world but there is too much traffic there and you cant? How bad would it be if you lose your house because you are somehow stuck on another world? x)
Also cant people just hop around the servers for hunts and things like that? Wouldnt that make it worse for those on the server? What about Bots? Wouldnt they suddenly get to server which they could not get to before that?
I really dont like the idea, especially after stuff like Raubahn savage..
Can't wait for zones to crash when people from multiple data centres try to make it to 5.0's version of Ixion.
