Guild Wars 2

Hi gang, GW1 player looking to hop on and see what the fuss is all about.

Friends and I are trying to pick a server with good latency but we can’t find a list of locations.

We are based in Alberta, Canada (Central-West). Anything near Seattle would be good.

Do you have any recommendations?

Cheers.

I believe all of the North American servers are located in Texas. Most NCSoft games have Texas servers for the NA servers. Certainly not ideal, but oh well. I live in Philly so I’d much prefer something closer, but it’s good enough.

Pay attention to the -diag part.

Hey, thanks for your replies. I ran the -diag command line as instructed but I can’t make any sense out of the document I got. Any advice there?

It’s checking your connectivity to ArenaNet’s game servers and the numbers below are IP addresses. Which as I said, are all in Austin, Texas along with every other NCSoft game (sucks I know). Google an IP lookup website and punch in the number before the colon and it’ll tell you where their servers are.
