Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this is the place to put this but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue

My main guild was on Ruins Of Surmia server, during the time on the server I created my own personal guild to provide me with some bank spaces and somewhere to put some gold so i didnt spend it.
My main guild moved over to Aurora Glade and I forgot to withdraw everything I had from my personal guild on Ruins of Surmia. Now guesting doesnt allow me to go back to RoS to access my personal guild bank on RoS. Why ? Now I either have to leave my gold and items behind or pay for gems to pay for 2 transfers to RoS and then back to AG.

Anyone else have any experience with this sort of thing ?

I did a little digging and it seems from it happening to others that this is the way it’s set up.

One suggestion I saw was to make someone who is still on that server a guild member and have them take the items out and send them to you. Obvious problems with trust here of course but the alternatives seem to be to leave the items there or to transfer twice.

I think everyone experiences that. Seems to come up every so often on the forums. Suggestions I’ve seen before is to have someone you trust join your guild and send the items over, or…indeed…transfer twice. Sorry there isn’t a better choice.

Lol, AP…great minds think alike. =P

What is the issue with guesting?

NA / EU servers or does guesting just not allow you access the personal guild bank?

Not if the guild bank is on another server than your home.

When guesting you access the benefits of your guild from your home server. Example is if you have a multi-server guild located in DR and JQ and you are from JQ and guest to DR your JQ stuff follows you to DR.

So, to clarify: If one guests to another server, items from a personal guild bank on the original server can be retrieved. If one transfers to another server, items from a personal guild bank on the original server cannot be retrieved. Is that correct?

Correct Chaialyna. I have one of these and it works as described.

Thankfully I started building mine after settling on the current server. But I had begun to fiddle with upgrades on the previous server (mostly as an experiment), and those got reset too with the transfer.

Sungak, thank you very much for that confirmation. I guess I’ll have to consider whether I really want to transfer that badly then.
