i disagree with this idea and decision to go forth with this, i personally think you should ditch guesting and keep world transfers free, this seems like you’re restricting the game. it’s like, when the game launched, you wanted everything to be as enticing as possible, and i had used free world transfer to try to get people off of WoW to join this game (among like 10 other reasons, but still)… i personally do not know if i will ever want to world transfer again, since my current guild is only posted on one server, but knowing that the liberty to do so freely had been replaced by a weak consolation, seems rather rigid and cold… i understand that you wish to make money on a subscriptionless game, but how about this.. free world transfers once a year determined by account age, and then if a person really wants transfers inbetween that time, they pay for it as is.
When will the update in time? Because i have 20hrs left to able to transfer and if the update is coming in 9:00am (GMT+1) then i miss the last opportunity to transfer. I hope the update is coming in 9:00pm.

Is it already known how much the transfer fee will be? I’m having the same problem as sourvey, changed home world a few days ago, big mistake, now i’m not able to change it back in time
Players on North American home worlds cannot guest on European worlds or vice versa.
I don’t see the guesting system as an improvement or a good feature in any way anymore. In fact it now only limits us not being able to play with friends from different continents/worlds. I would very very much prefer ditching the entire guesting system and keeping the transfer between worlds free. The only reason I was looking forward to this “improvement” WAS to play with people from a different continent as well as people from my own continent. The system, the way it’s launched now is completely useless and is only there to force us to pay gems or buy another copy of the game and restart if we want to play with people from different regions as well.
Once again extremely disappointed in Arenanet. I really have no words for how much of a disappointment this is.
Remember, keeping free world transfers had issues in itself. It caused huge problems in WvW balancing and massive complains. So there’s a trade off. Guesting is coming anyways. The best we can do is wait for guesting to improve to the point of letting cross region guesting.
Can someone explain to me guesting? Does it let me do map completion with people.in diff worlds in my region?
With guesting, you can join up for standard PvE stuff with people from your region but different servers. You could already do this for dungeons.
You still cannot join up with somebody from a different region (so, if you’re on a NA server, you can only guest on any other NA server, not to an EU server).
Question on Guesting regarding Guild Bank. RIght now I’m stuck on another server for another 4 hours till I could transfer back to my original BUT I’ll be at work so wont be able to transfer till I get back AND hopefully patch hasnt been implemented.
MY question, I have a personal Guild bank on my old server, If I am stuck staying on my current server, and IF I guest onto my original server where the bank resides, Will I be able to access it?

I’m assuming yes…ok, I HOPE that the answer is yes – otherwise I’m going to have to get crafty getting all of my stuff in the Gbank xferred…
Considering that you can mail anything to anyone (anywhere) and the TP is global, I can’t imagine why you couldn’t do this…
A confirmation from Anet would be nice…but I guess we will find out later today regardless.
Great, completely useless to me then, an EU player on NA servers, who wants to stick with his NA guild but play completely lag free guesting on EU servers.
Come on Anet, get your game together and stop screwing the community.
Guesting with it’s restrictions is terrible. I hate the fact that you can’t guest on servers that use different data centers. You should try to figure out a way to allow it.
Also guesting on just 2 servers per 24 hours is pathetic. You could try to figure some other way to prevent potential exploits.
