Guild Wars 2

I have a friend who’s in Canada and not able to find gem cards there. If I send him some cards from the US will there be a problem with him using them on his account? He says he purchases using US dollars, but I want to be certain before I spend the money on the cards. Any help appreciated.

Gem cards (2000) are readily available at Amazon.ca for 24.99.

That being said, the cards come in a sealed package, not associated to a name. It’s just a card with a code. You could likey buy them and just e-mail,voice, message the code # and you buddy types them in.

Yes but the question is will ArenaNet allow a Gem card allocated to the US market be used on an account based in Canada (or Europe).

There was a time when NCsoft was very territorial with there games where games sold in and registered in Europe couldn’t use NA time cards or expansions and vice versa.

However if Amazon.ca is selling 2000 Gem cards for $25, which is the same price as in the US, both countries fall within the NA market and since the exchange rate is very close ($25 US = $25.62 Canadian) I would lean toward yes.

Personally I would drop support a line and ask them.

Really can’t see it being a problem in US/Can. But the best way —Amazon and it is in the mail box in a few days.
Looking in the terms and conditions on the back of a box I have, there is no mention of restrictions based on location.

Cards are available in Canada at EBgames – but watch the taxes.

Best answer. It’s better to contact them and find out you didn’t really have to than to not contact them and find out you should have.
