I have some friends that entered to a european server by mistake, and they can’t afford for a server change to NA. I’ve been playing for like… two weeks now with them by just being in party and chat. I can see them in the map, I can trade with them, and I got the dungeon message if I wanted to enter but… it’s just that.

My question is, How do megaservers work? I mean, I can’t play with them, neither in world map nor dungeons, can I? But if my question’s anwser is a yes, Why can I do the other things I mentioned before?

You, or your friends (if not Play4Free users) can delete all characters and transfer at no cost.

I believe dungeons are cross-region, as is mail.

Good luck.

A couple of points

1) there are 2 data centers where account information is kept. One is in Texas and one is in Germany. Because the accounts are stored in 2 places, they aren’t on the same computer maps and can’t get together.
2) any paid account can transfer for free (every 7 days to a non full server) if they are willing to delete all their chars (storing items they want to keep in their banks).

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

There are certain things that are cross-region as you mentioned (chat, party, mail, dungeon popup, guild…)

But playing together are region-locked.
