Changing instances

Each map in GW2 can only hold a certain amount of players. When many players go to the same map, like Bloodtide Coast, the game will make copies of this map - the instances. Players will be spread across different instances. However, to play and fight together, you need to be on the same instance.

A squad or a party which is used to help a player change to another instance is called a taxi. There are different possibilities to join a taxi: by being invited, by joining via LFG if the group is listed there, or by using a join-command.

We post these taxi commands on discord in the wurm-organization channel after the commanders have tagged up. Usually the taxis will be posted as embed; if you can only see the "@pokey" message but not the taxi commands, check your discord options to make sure you can see embeds: User setting  - App settings - Text & Images - Embeds and Link Previews

To use the taxi, copy one of the /sqjoin [name] commands (select the text and press CTRL + C) and paste it ingame (CTRL + V), the slash should be the first symbol - no space in front of it! Press enter and you should get into a squad.  If this will not put you into a squad, check the command (missed/added any letters/spaces?).
The command will not work if you are in a squad already. It's also possible that the squad is full (try another one). Or you have used an old command (there is no squad up, check the time and date of the taxi message you are trying to use).
Note:  Generally, these commands work with either account or any character name of the account you want to join on - this does not have to be the same character that the player is currently on.

Once you are in a squad, right-click on someone, best the commander, in the squad and choose "Join in Bloodtide Coast". As long as there is space on the map, you will get to our instance. You will not see the option to join if you or the player you have clicked on are not in Bloodtide Coast, if you are playing on a different game version (happens after patches, players on the old patch will need to update their game to join a new instance), or if you are in a different region (players from NA can join EU squads, but they cannot join the same instance and vice versa). There is a really rare bug that will give you an error message and not let you join on the commander's map - please, notify your commander if this happens!
