Guild Wars 2

I’ve had to authentic my own login attempts 2 or 3 times now. So far, it has never successfully identified my town. Obviously I know that I’m the one logging in when it tells me that I need to authenticate, so I know that there aren’t other people in nearby towns trying to hack me.

If those annoying advertisements on websites can tell me that there are 67843 hot girls who want to chat with me in my exact town, or that I am winner #999 in my exact town, why does the email authenticator think that my IP address is actually in a town 40km (25 miles) away?

How can it show me that my own IP is trying to connect, but fail to use any kind of accurate lookup? The website WhatIsMyIPAddress.com also correctly locates my IP.

happens to me as well, however it comes out as exactly the same one every time, in a city which is roughly the same distance away as your (i live in new York and it gives me one in New Jersey) it may be something with the ISP that results in a different area. (my ISP is very bad with those kinds of things). also, an example, when i first logged in through my wifi for my phone’s facebook, facebook thought i was in california.
