Guild Wars 2

I do not understand the logic behind having us to pay a price for wanting to transfer between servers . You already put in place certain restrictions eg once a week and the loss of benefits from wvw so why the additional charges?

what about us in the oceanic / asian reason ? I wont deny that my internet speed isnt the fastest but it is fast enough to watch 1080p vids without buffering . In gw , I had no issues with servers since I didnt lag on an american server with a slower connection but the lagin gw2 (def. Server related cus its the delay between when I click the skill and when it activates)
and it ruins the whole pvp experience .

So when the supposedlyserver around this region comes out, I’d have to pay to switch over just because I want to play with lesser lag ?

How the heck can I check my ping in game? I have been asking this again and again no one seems to know, yikes I’m gonna go start a thread asking this in a sec, as to what you said:

Anyone living in Australia or near Australia is SCREWED for mmos, I love this one and am getting more and more depressed as i realize how awesome and skill based the combat is, which means its timing based which means that with my usual ping of 300+ everything I do takes its usual half second to travel to the server in the US and back to me and it pretty much puts me at a massive disadvantage, even more so than previous mmos (where for example, one could chain up attacks and overpower most ppl anyway) yes I am talking about PVP here primarily but the reason for my lament is I’m noticing it more in pve as again, this game is all about actions and reactions.

Its a great game and a great system and simply putting one freaking small room here in Australia with a physical server would fix ALL my problems and the problems of hundreds of thousands of other players but they wont… no one will, I guess its not profitable enough and we will continue to suffer.

I am probably going to continue my plan to move to England in a few years… sigh…

LOL just re-read yr post, sorry for initial fast read. IS AN AUSTRALIAN HOUSED SERVER REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN? coz I will KITTEN!!! I will KITTEN everywhere, pure magical beautiful EXUBERANT RAINBOWS will fly out of my a r $ e and just spray the walls with raw unadulterated glee!

Can you SEE just how excited I get just THINKING about it???!!!

EDIT: had to replace some less than politically correct words starting with S and ending in T with KITTEN! Out of fear of wrathful moderators kicking the S – - T out of me and throwing my A – - out of the forums. Talk about excitement tho, I am gonna research more into this.

So wait a minute, you are complaining about server transfers costing money because of something that could happen in the future that hasn’t even been talked about by Anet as far as I know?

it costs gems so you can buy it using gold?

If anything they will probably allow for free transfers if they ever do something like that.

As far as I know, transfers are still free. And no, there is no way they will charge Aussies money to switch over to the Australian servers once they are opened.
