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!

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.)
