WvWvW Speculation

http://gw2.variance.hu/2011/05/04/variance-guild-wars-2-arenanet-interview/

I was reading this interview and wondering if I had this right, are the player worlds going to actually look different and not just be different servers. From what I read the center meetup areas will be similar but the outside player areas will be different, sort of like one big map gridded off into different words with meetup areas in the center to time WvWvW matches. 

I HOPE so because if that is the case players could chose servers by asthetic preference and such, also they hinted at possible server rule variants, so maybe a RP server a more pvp intensive server, I am iffy on that one but I guess its possible. But I would guess they would all look similar like two sides of an AV map with similar points with different cultural areas maybe? Maybe one of the Worlds the Humans are more populated and what not. It's fun to think about, the intervew perked my interest on that.

I think if that were true it would do a lot to cultivate server pride.

Also wondering how they will tell server players apart, some kind of tag system for sure, but they said they are doing away with the Red and Blue costumes as they were just proxies until they put in a different system.

    I honestly beleive that is the case.

    I might get banned for this. - Rizel Star.

    I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.

    P2P LOGIC = If it's P2P it means longevity, overall better game, and THE BEST SUPPORT EVER!!!!!(Which has been rinsed and repeated about a thousand times)

    Common Sense Logic = P2P logic is no better than F2P Logic.

    The red and blue collors where only for instanced competitive PvP, and they improved them a lot for the japanese gameshow. To a level that i actually liked them.

     

    These colors however where never meant to be used in WvWvW.

    From what I've seen and heard, there are 4 different maps (currently) designed for WvW. Each map is unique, but you cannot choose, which one of those 3 available will be your server's home map. On those maps, there may run different events according to the state of it and guilds may take a keep/castle/whatever and gain specific advantages(probably only for pve) and fame (call it server pride). My guess is that your guild will be able to hold that castle for not more than 2 weeks, then worlds are going through a matchmaking system to make things more compelling and competitive for the next round.
