Hi, when I login to post in any EN topic I get redirected to ES version of it since I’m currently living in Chile, South America. To be able to post or browse EN forums while logged in I have to refresh and connect again multiple times until It works. Is this the beggining of a region lock? Because I’m currently UNABLE to watch homepage or game release page in english.

Example: https://www.guildwars2.com/the-game/releases/september-17-2013/
takes me to https://www.guildwars2.com/ES/the-game/releases/september-17-2013/
There is NO WAY to browse it on EN, even replacing es with en doesn’t work.

This is really kitten ing me off, and I sure I’m not the only one. I DO know spanish, but the spanish used in Gw2 its targeted for people from Spain and that’s it! Its like British English, if you know what I mean …

Hope to get some kind of answer … regards.

- NH.

If you are using Chrome, you can just add English to your list of languages from the Language settings and you will no longer be redirected. I don’t know if it works the same for other browsers though.
