Q:

If I have activated my account from here in the UK, Will I be able to play from America?

I’m visiting for the holidays and want to be able to play if I get the chance.

A:

Once you have registered your account, using a serial code that is tied to your physical location at the time of registration, you then can play from anywhere in the world.

I’m not 100% sure, but according to my logic, if you do not change servers, you should still be playing on the same server as before. Maybe an ArenaNet representative can shed some light on this.

The region locking only exists as a restriction at registration (can’t register a European copy while physically in America and vice versa). Once you register your account, you can travel anywhere freely and play.

In short: You’ll be able to play from America.

Thanks Pandem!

That’s what I was thinking so hopefully that’s true.
