Guild Wars 2

Hi
I am no longer an active player but I would like to buy a few copies of gw2 for family and friends. However I am on holiday now in the UK and the website only allows me to buy the UK/euro version which I don’t want and also costs a lot more. How can I get pass this and buy the us version which is on sale now but won’t be by the time I get home?

Can someone/arenanet advise how I can do this “legitimately”?
I am not interested in using proxies/vpn… Plus I am not able to set this up this up while on holiday…

Thanks in advance…

I don’t think you can through the guildwars2 portal.
You could order guildwars2 through amazon or other retailers perhaps.

try that?

Where you buy the game has no relation to the server it’s going to be played on.

For example, I live in the EU but could have made a new account on a US server, no problem.

So all you really need is serial numbers to activate a new account. You can buy those online here and you will get sent a serial code. That code you can forward to a friend and they need to use that to make a new unique account for themselves with their email.
As soon as an account it made with a serial, that person owns the account.

As for the higher costs, only way would be to buy through a US website that does not charge extra. Or, you could get your family or a friend to buy it and you reimburse them. Again, its all about the serial and who makes an account with it.
