Playing from another country/continent

I will be traveling to Singapore (from the U.S.) for a month for work and I am wondering if I will have issues trying to play GW2.

I’m not too concerned about lag (although that could be a damper) but mostly I want to make sure that I will not cause any account issues by attempting to log in from overseas.

Thanks!

you shouldn’t encounter any issues as long as you authenticate your log in attempts via your e-mail or authenticator if enabled.

Since you purchased and registered your game in the US, you should be just fine playing from Singapore in an access sense. I cannot speak to the latency from Singapore, but we have a lot of players in Australia and New Zealand playing on US servers, and they report things are going well. So I would think that Singapore, at a somewhat similar distance, would also be playable. (The quality of your Internet connection will be a factor, of course.)
