I recently started playing guild wars 2 and didn’t realize that when I had my girlfriend Installing and setting up the game that it prompted something along the lines of choosing a ‘world’ or server. She didn’t know that when she randomly chose the server that in the top right it had a selection between American and European Servers. She picked a European server. This is a problem because we live in the US. I tried to transfer but I need gems to do so. Which is not really and option at the moment. I have had some gameplay issues alot of Disconnects and i think its because im on a euro server. which would make sense to me. I read about world transfers being free at one point. But seeing as how I just started the game now and am not moving worlds simply for WvW nonsense or whatever the reason it costs money now to do so is. I just want to be in a american server with american people. i dont even understand the language some of these people speak. I would appreciate some kind of ONE TIME transfer to a US server as some kind of technical error fix. Like i said i have been getting Dc’d alot because of this.

Ok I see that if I delete all of my characters I could do it. But I put almost 70 hours into it already within 5 days. I have gotten 1 character as high as level 30 and bought gems through the store to buy stuff through the trading post such as abyss dye. I don’t suppose anet can just switch me to a us server of their choosing without me deleting all 4 of my characters that me and my girlfriend made? As I said before its a technical issue for me. Not just because i want to play with friends. I dont want to pay for more gems. nor do i want to restart the whole game. I never completed it once. And its becoming more difficult as I need help on higher level quests and cant just solo it anymore. I dont speak swedish or norwiegen or any of those european languages. Seeing how there are no henchman like the first game I am stuck grinding on low level areas to become level appropriate to take on mission myself.

Anet won’t move you for free mate. You either have to pay the Gems, or delete all your characters and start fresh after you transfer over. Weigh the costs of both options, and choose which path to take.

I, personally, would delete everything and transfer for free. Being lv 30 isn’t as bad as having multiple lv 80 characters.

Both suck. I spent real life cash for the gems i already bought just for dye. And i shouldnt have to anyway. they offered free transfers when the game first came out. I want it as a technical fix buddy.

I understand, but the free transfer period is over. So the only options you have are to delete all toons and start fresh, or pay X Gems to transfer with your characters intact. Anet doesn’t undo player mistakes unfortunately.
