Guild Wars 2

Sometimes it seems Anet can’t do anything right. I got booted from the game and now can’t log in. I seem to need to authenticate the IP even though it’s the one I’ve always used. It is just a circular attempt to login. I’d just like to play the game please.

Theres a checkbox at the bottom of the email to add your IP so you don’t have to check emails each time you login.

There is no checkbox at he bottom of he email, sorry.

Maybe it’s on the screen after you authenticate but there is one there somewhere. My IP has changed 3 times since I got the game and was sick of logging into hotmail to authenticate everytime then I found the checkbox.

Unbelievably stupid. I can’t believe the barriers the they put up to simply playing the game. I’ve never seen anything like this in any game I’ve played.

When you receive the email, it contans a link to a web page that completes the authentication.
On that web page is a tick box to “Remember this Network”
If you tick that box, then you won’t have to authenticate from that location again.

The only “barrier” is your own inability to see a clearly labelled box, and put a tick in it.

I have a similar issue. The only difference is that, while I do have the box, I have yet to click it because I’m pretty sure there’s some kind of issue with the IP displayed – after all, I don’t live in the town it says I live in, as far as I know (it sure doesn’t agree with my postage). Not sure what to make of it.

Anybody know if ticking the box in my situation would open me up to issues down the line?

The location they put is sometimes inaccurate, I guess that is because your ISP is located in that town. Anyway, there are sites that tell you “My IP”, search on google to find such a site. Check if the IP they say there matches with the IP given by GW2.

Most people have a dynamic IP, this means your IP chances once in while. Especially when your modem needs a restart. Your ISP may chance your IP many times, especially when you DC because your internet went down.

Ah, that might explain it. I’ll take a look around next time I go to log on – thanks for the tip.
