Guild Wars 2

I went to Character choosing screen, selected a server, pressed “Guest”, it said "You are now guesting in so and so server, and then I pressed play and found myself in the exact same home server. What am I doing wrong?

With the mega-server system guesting is redundant at this point. It used to be that you PvE maps were server exclusive. Under the new system multiple servers share the same map, with new map instances being generated as existing maps reach their population cap.

Darn :/ Was hoping to increase my gathering quota per day. Thanks for the info.
