Guild Wars 2

I’d hate to beat a dead horse, but will we ever be able to guest to Europe based servers from North America, and guest from North America based servers to Europe?

If I had to, I would spend gems for the ability to unlock this.

We have friends over in different world servers whom we’d like to do dungeons and whatnot with, but at present the North America/Europe divide is making this impossible.

No.

The way the actual servers are set up prevents this – there simply are no connections between the regions and therefore you cannot move a NA based character to a EU based server or vice versa.

It’s a limitation of the technology used and no amount of requesting, throwing money or begging will change it.

The question then is why can you transfer to NA?

I very much think its not exactly a technical problem, but more so Anet not wanting to lose this profitable source of income.

It’s entirely possible to switch characters to different world servers. If they are operating on separate physical infrastructure, it just entails a transfer of the relevant data to the destination server, which can be completed within seconds, a minute at the most.

If data transfer incurs a cost, a gem unlock cost would defray that.

You could, I think, get a second account for playing on NA? You would have to level another toon, but it could be worth it!

Actually, eight more characters, 50 bucks more for another account, and at least 2000 gold more in equipment, not to mention the Living Story/Daily AP/Laurels that cannot be reacquired, the karma, etc etc. And 400 gold for the permanent black lion merchant. Maybe it costs even more now. >.>

How hard can it be to guest?

I’m not saying switch accounts, I just mean, a second account just so you can fractal and dungeon run with a single character… But if you need all of the classes and such, mmk! My suggestion is no good

I don’t know the technological difficulty, and as such, I can’t give an opinion on how hard or easy it would be to implement.
