Guild Wars 2

So I was going for Vinetooth Prime earlier in Auric Basin. After it finished (fail) I relogged onto my Necromancer to zone in and see if I could get a different IP/map where it wasn’t done yet. I got the same IP and logged into my Herald again and noticed I still had participation credit!

So I relogged again, tried again, even logged out and same results after closing the client and logging into the same IP/Map I still had my participation. However if you do get into a different IP/map your participation is not saved so if you crash from a full map it is gone. I have not tested trying to get back into a map you already had credit on but I did test leaving the map (such as to the guild hall) and I did keep credit if I stayed on the same IP/Map.
