Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

George here, playing from Germany.

I have choosen an installation of GW2 in english.
I play on an english Server (Desolation).

When I visit your site, guildwars2.com, I automaticaly get the german version. Ok, I get, why this happens. But…

Then I want to access the forums, I get the german version, can access the subforums and the threads with no problem, but actually I dont want to read the german forums, but only the english.

So the moment I want to switch to the english language, I get a request to login into my account.
Have to say it straight: That sucks! Big time! The more, when I have to do this several times a day, check my email to authentificate etc…

Would you mind to please me and stop this behavior? Or is there something I should know?

Kind regards,
George

P.S.: Sorry, if I have chosen the wrong forum, wont mind if you move me, at least then I know that somebody read this!

I doubt it has anything to do with your location. I’m on the US East Coast, playing NA, and I get occasional login checks as well. Since my password is saved on my personal computer here at home, and I have FiOS, it’s a couple extra seconds of my time, just click the login and boom, I’m back in the forums. They’ve even fixed it so it directs me to the forum thread I was clicking on instead of back to the main forum page.

It’s likely a safety feature to help prevent hacking. Would you rather have to do a fast login or spend several days with Support trying to retrieve your stolen account?

I think he was saying he has to re-authenticate every time he visits the site in order to switch to english version.

Don’t worry, some of us get it worst… I live in south america so it redirect me to EU site because you know, reasons… it seems that 40 million in spain is bigger than around 400 million in south america.
