Guild Wars 2

Just to clarify, this is merely an idea proposal, one given in hopes that it could prove useful in the future to potential cross region gameplay system development.

Proposal:

Assign three guest only servers to each datacenter, that can be joined solely by players with their accounts based in another region.

These servers would not be accessible by regular regional players, but would be integrated into the existing megaserver architecture of their given region thus allowing for those interested in it to experience PvE content with their friends from other regions.

Guesting on these should be for PvE only (With WvW and PvP becoming blocked while on this server)

Joining these servers should also prompt the player with a warning to expect high ping and be aware that by joining the server they are accepting that fact.

It’s not like or dislike. it’s that the structure of the game is against it.

The game has 2 data centers that stores account information. One date center in Germany stores the EU accounts. One data center in Texas stores the Na accounts. In order for a player from one region to play on the other, all account information has to be transferred through the internet from one data center to the other. It’s deleted from the data center it was stored in and has to be completely re-sent to return to its old data center. So guesting isn’t an option as only full transfers of accounts allow playing on another region.
