Guild Wars 2

hi what does that code mean? some friends were in a dungeon and needed some help so they asked me to come along. they were already in dungeon so i went to zone and got the prompt to join them.
however when i accepted that error came up and told me to check my network connection as well although there could not have been anything wrong with that because i was both still logged into the game and listening to music off of youtube.

i tried relogging and rezoning but neither resolved the issue.

Are your friends playing in the same region as you?

they are on eu and i am on american but i thought it wouldnt matter because of mega servers…
i suppose by you asking i am wrong about that then?

Correct. Players from EU worlds can’t be in the same instance as those from NA worlds.

ANet hasn’t found a way to synch data across data centers quickly enough. Right now, your latency is only affected by your distance to a single server farm (either in Germany, EU or Texas, US). To be able to place players in both regions in the same instance, they’d have to put everything in a single data center (increasing latency for anyone in NA or EU) or ensure that both centers synch’d in real time, which would mean everyone would have to suffer the latency for the distance between Germany and Texas.

ok well thanks for the replies
