1,800 Gems to change server...
Doesn’t WoW charge a considerable amount of currency just to transfer one character?
I don’t know – guesting is a great system. Let’s you play on any server at any time with the sole restrictions being no WvW, no server benefits, and no guild benefits.
IMO, they really should make guild benefits of the guild you are representing affect you if the guild has benefits on the server you are guesting on.
Why do you need to change servers? You can now just guest to the server. Only think i know you cant do when questing is WvWvW.
Paid transfers matter just for WvW as they should.
For PvE there is Guesting …. which is free.
Changing server’s drastically unbalanced WvW. Ie: changing servers is bad and they don’t want you to do it unless absolutely necessary.
Guesting allows every conceivable freedom of a world transfer, save for it’s impact on WvW. There is very little reason to abandon a server outside of WvW related concerns (far too many people jumped ship because their server was losing). So it’s a high premium to do so.
There may well have been high server demand involved as well.
It’s only 1800 gems to transfer to a very high pop world. The cost is pretty much in line with other popular MMOs. The nice thing here is that you have the option of farming in-game gold to turn into gems, in which case the cost is your free time, or transfer to a lower population world and the gem cost scales down.

Will definately have an impact for world completion.
You can buy gems with gold too… But good luck for that
Why is it £20? How is that logical in any respect. With my current work scheme that is 7 hours of work to change server. It barely costs anything to do it, so why is the pricing so high?
Either make it free or drastically change the pricing to lower than what it currently is. £20 to change server is an absolutely ridiculous idea…
The only reason you would need to change servers is to sever jump to a better WvWvW server. In which I personally am glad they put an end to your server jumping. Im glad I dont have to face the same people over and over and over again just because they want to face easy servers.

That would be around 2,80 euros for a single hour of work? I call bluff.
If I can’t play Guild Wars 2 at work, I won’t work in Guild Wars 2 either.

It will, and if people make enough noise ArenaNet will rejig the WvW completion system.
To this thread, 1800 gems, who cares.
If you’re not in the server you want to be in by now for WvW then it’s your fault. You’ve had how long to transfer for free!!??
A warrior, a guardian, and an elementalist walk into an open field…
The Warrior turns to the guardian and says, “Did you hear something?”
Guardian replies, “No, but how’d the elementalist die?”

The way you present your case won’t make you friends. My advice is to write down your problem properly and ask for questions guidance.
- 1800 gems is the amount you need to move to very populated servers as the Gem pricing of transfer depends solely on target server’s population. The higher pop the higher cost. Low pop is 500 gems for example
- There is Guesting feature which you can use to change servers temporarily. You can guest to 2 servers at a time every 24 hours. You will be then able to transfer between them and your own.
- your server has no impact on anything other than WvWvW. Changing server has only sense if what you wish to change is WvWvW environment. For everything else it is simply not needed. You can sPvP, explore, do dungeons and so on on the server you guest to.
