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?

Just to be clear, the “region lock” applies only to registration, it does not apply to the world on which a player participates in the game. So as the kind players explained above, your friend can purchase anywhere, register, and then select a game world.

Have fun!
