Guild Wars 2

Hello.

I’ve bought the key and registered the game. But when I was loging into the launcher, rules for US citizens popuped. Does it mean I’ve bought US version and I can’t play the game?

I’ve choosed EU server, message popuped that my world is being transfered and I had to login again. And I created character on “Ring of Fire” without problems.

What can I do? I’ll be banned for playing as EU citizen using US key? What’s the difference between EU and US versions? I just wanted to start the game and I have problems(

Greetings

It is perfectly allright to use a US key while you play on EU servers.

The only dissadvantage is that when you buy things from EU retailers you can’t use them in the game.

So to name a few examples.
a: Pre-paid gemcards bought in europe won’t work on your account (you can buy gems directly at arenanet using credit card or paypall)

b: Somewhere around the summer, Arenanet was giving away free codes to recieve a unique miniature. There was a EU-version and a US-version, and you would need the US version. Not many where given out though and its a small thingy.

c: this last is speculation. But expansion packs will likely need to be US-versions off the pack. Keep in mind that Arenanet has not announced any expansions yet, and also stated they are not sure if they will release a traditional expansion pack or release it in a more unconventional way.

I’m not sure if support can help you with changing the account to a EU-account, but if it really is important for you, you could ask.

I am curious where you got hold of a US version of the game in EU. If it was from an Authorized retailer, you could probably get an exchange. If not, be extra careful with your account. Welcome to Tyria. =)

Mercury :

From what was said, anything applied to the account as a code would require it match the base version of the game. I do believe one explicit example Gaile gave was an expansion.
