Guild Wars 2

I just got the game and am pretty annoyed about this too. If you know what to look for it’s pretty clear, but I bought this game on a friend’s recommendation and they said I could “guest” in their game, not realizing I would be in a different region. I play with EU friends and US friends (or rather I was hoping to) and to be honest I think this is an extremely poor limitation. I can see why they wouldn’t want to migrate data between two servers all the time, but I too don’t really get why they went for two separate data centers. Even if that was a reasonable choice, I don’t see why I couldn’t at least have two entirely separate characters, one on each world/server. I wouldn’t mind playing different characters with different groups of friends that much. What is ridiculous is that I would, at this point in time, have to buy an entire second copy of the game and register in the US region. The fact that that is possible and works well voids most of their arguments. Pretty upset, and probably getting a refund if there are no signs of this changing soon.
