Planning a trip to China
ArenaNet Communications Manager
I’m going to China for a few weeks to visit family, is GW2 playable behind the great internet firewall?
Will I be able to allow a Chinese IP using email verification or will it be automatically blocked?
Players are accessing our game from China, so I do not anticipate you will have problems. If you have authentication in place — and I hope you do — you will be asked to approve a new location, and you then should be able to access just fine.
This quote is from our Support Knowledge Base:
I travel frequently. Will I be able to play Guild Wars 2?
Yes. The one-time verification system simply confirms that you have purchased the correct version of the game for your area of the world. Once that has been confirmed, you may play from any location you desire.

You should be able to play from China, it’s where half the bots come from.
