Guild Wars 2

So,

“Because (different from a world transfer) we are not moving your character between data centers, you may only guest on worlds in the same region as your home world. Players on North American home worlds cannot guest on European worlds or vice versa.”

This for me, makes the guesting feature entirely pointless. I would assume that the most use for the guesting feature would come from someone wanting to cross regional servers for a visit. I’d assume people from the same region would likely be on the same server. That’s also making the assumption that guesting is a feature to allow you to play with friends.

Thoughts on this? Speculated reasoning?

There’s a 520+ reply thread at the top that goes into that. Arenanet gave a reason that there are two data centres in which its possible to transfer a character to and fro but not guest there because they are not really connected even though they are connected enough to let characters be copied.

I can pretty much safely say that the vast majority of players view the current guesting system as very poor and would like Anet to try again, using their undoubted cleverness to make it work as befits a community focused company.

Ofc, Read the thread and make your own mind up.

Also heads you’ll be reading about a lot of peoples disappointment in the thread. I turned into an angry whiner because I really do care about one community not 2 communities.

Apologies in advance!

Guesting wont please everyone but i think its fine. I think they are on the righit track with guesting.
