Guild Wars 2

Okay, I tried to look for this but the details dont fill in the blanks for me.
I am just wondering if I can switch to a server with the free switch and switch back with gems right away?

After free transfer it states there is a 7 day delay before switching again, which I knew, but does that count for the free transfer, or does that apply to gem transfer 2?

My problem is simple, I wanna switch to a server I might be able to enter the temple of balthazar as the event is no option on my medium populated server (Piken Square). However I dont want to get stuck there for a week as I enjoy playing with my guild & friends in dungeons and wvw back on piken.

So the question is simple, can I switch to a server with balthazars temple open and back right away or will I be stuck for at least 7 days?

Also can guesting help me out? This doesnt seem to be implemented i read, but not sure if thats correct. Also read about joining a party and going to their server that way.
However guesting might just bring me to a server with the same problem so transfering would be the easier way.

Greetings and thanks for the answers!

I could be wrong about this, but I don’t think the transfer for gems has been implemented yet either. I think it will come with guesting when server transfers will all cost gems (still with the 7 day cool down)

I would be amazed if we see guesting and paid transfers in 2012, I will be surprised if we see them in 2013, I will be unsurprised if we never see them.

Every ounce of damage free transfers could have done to the game, they have already done, so there really isn’t any immediate and desperate need for them to be stopped anymore. Players have also generally settled to where they will be permanently now, so guesting wont really have the effect on server population either. I just can’t see Anet, who a few weeks ago admitted that implementing these features was proving far more difficult than they imagined (iirc i read somewhere one of the devs admitting they didn’t actually know how they could do it, but i don’t have a quote).

It makes little sense for Anet to use its obviously limited development pool on this when there are more obvious pressing matters. And to be fair, If i were a NCsoft shareholder, I would be somewhat upset at Anet for failing to make use of a very profitable market when they had a chance.

That would be a shame, for new people as well and because it would have been a nice feature anyway. I still have some people playing on other servers that I do know and might wanna join now and then.

Currently my main reason however is the temple of balthazar never being opened due to either the pre events bugging out, or just the epic whipes and 2 low population to nuke the priest down before time runs out. And thats even before the 25% where he heals back up.

I’d rather not switch to another server for this at all… but might be forced to do so or to just forget about the legendary weapons.
