Q:

Hey I was just wondering how I can visit my friend on his server without affecting anything on my current server? One of my other friends did it but I never asked him how :/ I believe it’s called guesting?

Guesting isn’t currently in; some people have reported being able to meet up in Overflow servers, but that’s patchy at best.

A shallow ocean only contains as much water as a particularly deep bucket.

On another note then, does changing my home server mess up anything like with my guild for example?

If you change your home server then you won’t be able to meet up with your guildies on another server until guest mode is enabled.

My homeworld is Blackgate.
I am a GW2 player in New Zealand.

That depends on what type of mess you are talking about.

To rundown a few:

  • Will you get booted out? No. Guilds are cross-server, so they exist in all servers.
  • Will the Influence you gain go to your guild? Yes and no. Influence gained goes to your represented guild – yes. But Influence is “account-home-server” based. So that Influence goes to the instance or version of your guild in your current home server. (There is no such thing as “guild home server” in the system.)
  • Will you be able to use the guild upgrades of your guild? No. If your guild bought say, a guild bank in SoS, other members can not use that bank in IoJ. They have to buy their own guild bank for the instance/version of their guild in IoJ.
  • Can you guild chat with your guild? Yes. It’s cross-server too.

For a more detailed explanation, you can read my post here

Oh, if the day comes that ANet is disabling the free transfers and you forget to go back to your server, then you’ll have to buy gems to transfer back.
