Guild Wars 2

Hello! I have a question about the region lock and hope that someone can answer~

A friend of mine wants to purchase guild wars 2 so that we can play together, but she lives across the pond in the UK and I’m in in the southern US. If she were to purchase a copy of the game from a US retailer and get it shipped to her, would she still be region locked to the EU servers?

she can just buy a copy in the uk and play on the us servers, no need to do it any other way.

oh so she doesn’t have to jump through hoops to play with me? awesome! thank you

If your friend purchased an NA copy of the game, she would be unable to register the game in the UK. Region-lock only applies to registering the game. It must be registered in the region it is purchased in.

Once registered, though, you can play the game anywhere in the world, on any server (NA or EU) you choose to create your account on.

Tell your friend: Welcome to Tyria! =)

Aah, okay. Thank you! I’ve relayed the information to her and she seems to be pretty glad for it. We’d been preparing for her to buy an NA copy in case the rumors I’d heard were true, that you needed to buy it from the region you wanted to play in. I hadn’t remembered any of this stuff from when I installed my copy months ago. But hearing this is great news!

Thank you guys again!
