Guild Wars 2

Has anyone done this?

Can you confirm if the World change can be done “Anytime” after upgrading, or only “At the Time” of upgrading?

We’ve recruited another player for a free account who is going to try and likely buy this week, but we play on Maguuma so he can’t choose that. Worried if he buys the upgrade, he may not be able to play or apply the upgrade to his account until the Server is no longer Full.

From Wiki:

Home World

Each new account must select a home world as part of the initial setup. This selection is only relevant when accessing World versus World. Accounts can be transferred to a different world once every 7 days, if the new world is not full.

If there are no characters in the account then the transfer is free. Otherwise, there is a cost that is determined by the population of the new world. The account is logged out during the transfer process, which might take 5-30 minutes.

It seems that the same restrictions apply. If the player is not already on Maguuma then they will have to wait until the server opens up to transfer.

Yes, but F2P accounts get a FREE transfer upon upgrading… so I need to know if that is stored on the account for later use, or happens upon next login kinda thing.

The idea is its free waiving the cost and moving the characters over.
