Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

I just have a quick question about account access while on vacation in another country. I apologize if this has already been asked or if this is in the wrong forum, but I couldn’t find a similar thread or a better forum to ask this question.

I live in the United States and I will be visiting Ireland for a little while in late October. If I decide to jump on GW2 to do my daily tasks whilst in Ireland, I know I’ll get the e-mail authentication asking to approve my login, which I will grant access to. But aside from that, are there any other security measures that will try to kick in since it will see that I’m logging in from a completely different country? Also, I will be logging in using a different computer, not my primary one. I’m pretty sure all that it takes into account is the IP address, but I just thought I’d throw that in here for more detail.

I’ve seen one game company that throws up a red flag of suspicion if you try to log in from another country, just as a security precaution. From what research I’ve done on GW2, I don’t think there is anything that will flag my account or prevent me from logging in other than e-mail authentication, but I just thought I would check.

Thank you!

Edit: Clarity.

Hi Xenolith. The email authenticating your login from a different IP is the only one that I know of.

Hey, Rykos. I think you’re right; e-mail authentication should be the only thing that I have to worry about. That’s good to know. Thanks for your reply!
